Kissland Tour || Review || The Weeknd

   

After the release of Kissland in September 2013, it has become one of my favorite albums of the year. What I love about the album is the storytelling, every song flows one after another all fitting together like a puzzle. Therefore I was very excited to see the album come to life through the live show.

It was an amazing experience; the stage production was very clean cut. By this I mean the lighting would meet every harsh beat the band projected and the set list worked so well, from mixing old songs and his new songs together in a great flow reflecting what I initially liked about his album.

I would definitely recommend going to see The Weeknd live to any R&B/Hip hop lover. He is the type of artist that sounds, in my opinion, better live then recorded. I have always seen similarities between his voice and Michael Jackson's.

 This was my second time seeing him perform live. First time was in 2012 during his first trip to the UK and he definitely has grown as a performer. Confidence has grown which is conveyed with how he interacts with the audience and works the stage. In such a short time period the improvement has been drastic, I can only imagine how much more he’ll improve in the upcoming year of 2014. He is my current favourite male R&B singer. Can definitely see Abel doing more big things in the next 5 years, watch out for this talented artist! Xo
