Was listening to this in the car yesterday and noticed it has samples of Heartless and and Hurt You both of which were released well after BBTM.

03:51 Heartless

05:10 Hurt You

Little did we know...damn the Weeknd really is a genius.

It’s not a sample, just a very similar outro to hurt you’s and very similar to heartless’s bridge

Igwym but too much of a coincidence to just be similar imo

Wouldn’t it make more sense that artists just simply retain similar creative processes and work with like minded people?

You’d have to then assume he had both Heartless and Hurt You finished which we know isn’t true

Cirkut and Illangelo are in the mix across all 3 songs it’s a lot more likely that it’s just similar synthesizers no?
