The Weeknd and Lana Del Rey - "THE ABYSS" - OUT NOW!

[motel six 4,896]

i wonder if he adds on the features as official credits eventually, i’m sure the singles had their features credited until not long ago

i prefer when she’s listed so it doesn’t feel like i have some random song in my lana playlist

This def sounds like it was recorded in 2021. I mean this in the most neutral way possible but you can hear that she was plus-size when she sang this. It’s fierce

 

this is crazy

cute

vocals

but forgettable

[Pico Ocean Boulevard 42,285]

I definitely will replay the whole song in the future but I am thinking about to edit most of the song out and  keep mostly Lanas part to use it as an interlude, in some playlists or somewhere on LFL or so  or just to replay her part

[Veinsineon 78,470]

omg i just realized this is out 

[Divisive Princess 3,771]

 

 

Last year she said Abel was the last person she texted and that's when I, personally, knew.

No, other feats are Future, Travis, Anitta and Carti

[jaesana 4,212]

It kind of does sound like 2021-2022 in the sense that her falsetto sounds a little … whistley? just comparing that to shades of cool where she reaches those notes a little stronger. I didn’t notice this much in ocean boulevard so maybe it was a 2021 thing. Who knows

Otherwise I’m glad to get new content and will definitely be returning to it

i think the reason why people think she sounds unrecognizable isn't because of the high quality mic like many have pointed but the autotune. it is very autotuned i'm surprised no one pointed that out yet  

that is no shame tho i particularly enjoyed it, i like when lana tries new things

And Genius notes Florence+TM on backing vocals in a song with Travis

[brandon 13,413]

okay overall i’m glad this song exists, purely for the reason that it’s continuing her and abel’s artistic relationship, however i do not think i will ever hit play on it ever again 

[Enco 2,803]

I luv it I luv it I luvvv ittt

[baddisease 18,269]

The Weeknd keeps making the same 5 songs

[Super Movie 52,044]

I'll probably listen to this eventually because I heard some snippets and her voice sounds great, but I honestly don't see myself listening to this much after today lol

I think it’s a conscious decision to change the tone of her voice for different songs, I don’t think the year makes much of a difference, I strongly suspect she still has the vocal clarity and agility (think about Blue Skies) to sing how she did in BTD and Ultraviolence (e.g shades of cool). But she is also like over a decade older, and probably just wants to adapt it to suit her age. 
Can’t be doing that baby voice when you’re almost 40. (You deffo can, but it does not have the same effect).

Totally. 

someone said in here once (I tended to disagree but now I’m like ehh maybe they’re right) that her falsetto is a little weaker and it could be age + vape-related. It’s complete speculation. I don’t know her and I’m not a doctor.

 

Someone else in this thread said that they prefer her singing in her lower register and I tend to agree - I am a huge fan of when she gets down into a lower range. I melt 🫠

 

regardless I think she sounds great still, and I’m gonna stream everything she makes
