15. Coming Down
One thing The Weeknd is perfect at is creating an atmosphere, this song being a perfect example, the vocals feel so chilling that they remind me of a cold place really late at night, truly genius..

14. In The Night
This track is heavily inspired by Marylin Monroe's survival story, feels so dark yet so fucking catchy at the same time. This is also another homage to Michael Jackson like the cover he did for Dirty Diana.

13. Angel
On a beautiful closing track, The Weeknd is showing remorse to this girl he just broke up with, wishing his special someone the best and that she finds someone to love. The last-minute of this song and when the choir comes in is peak music..

12. Birds Pt.1
The first part of an anecdotal story shows us the effects of Abel on this girl he only used on Thursday´s. He shows us here he has been with so many women, with no real connection that just feels empty at this point.

11. Tears In The Rain
Another immaculate closing track, those last minutes are some of the best vocal ability I've ever heard, just hear it for yourself..

10. Montreal
Just a full on atmospheric song here, the singing in french complements it and the chilling vocals as always make this one a true experience.

9. High For This
The song that started it all, the opener for his debut mixtape that shows us how talented this man can be. It takes us through a journey between Abel and a girl being introduced to his XO lifestyle.

8. The Knowing
Sampling the beautiful "Cherry Coloured Funk" by the Cocteau Twins, we get a peek inside of his mind during a sexual encounter with a girl. He's aware this girl is cheating on him and is heartbroken by it..

7. I Feel It Coming Feat. Daft Punk
A collaboration with the amazing electronic music duo, Daft Punk, we get a catchy and nostalgic laid back banger that draws inspiration from â80s pop and house.

6. After Hours
Addressing a failed relationship this song works as an apology letter for his past actions, as he wishes for reconciliation. The subtle yet genius beat switch and how the dark vocals mesh together is truly perfection

5. Call Out My Name
Here we see Abel struggling to get over his past relationship and how much he was willing to give for her, even to the point of donating a kidney to save her life. This track hits even deeper by seeing the live performance.

4. Lonely Star
At first, I didn't like this song that much but after relistening on a really cold night it hits. The chorus, how he introduces two characters, and that last minute of the song are things that makes this one so perfect.

3. Birds Pt.2
The second part of the rollercoaster, the first one was, it starts off with the girl we've heard about, the victim, loading a gun and sadly taking her own life. Leaving us with one of the saddest tracks everâŚ

2. The Morning
Beautiful vocals accompanied with an incredible guitar in the background, this song talks about how the high he had the previous night goes away and sends Abel's girl into departure leaving him reflective about his place in the industry.

1. XO / The Host
This song literally embodies everything Abel's music is or once was. Drugs at 3am, sex, nightlife at house parties, and the feeling of knowing these things are bad but still doing them. This one really makes me realize how I fell in love with his music.

Can't forget to mention that scary yet beautiful second part where he sings from the perspective of a girl who is gonna face an initiation sooner or later by the boys or just the XO crew. It makes me feel like Iâm on a cold chilly night..
Thanks For Reading
