La música pop (del inglés pop music, contracción de popular music) es un género de música popular que tuvo su origen a finales de los años 1950 como una derivación del tradicional pop, en combinación con otros géneros musicales que estaban de moda en aquel momento. Los términos música pop y música popular se usan a menudo de manera indistinta, aunque el segundo tiene un sentido más amplio al dar cabida a otros géneros distintos del pop que se consideren populares.
Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, mejor conocido por su nombre artístico The Weeknd (Toronto, Canadá, 16 de febrero de 1990), es un cantante, compositor y productor canadiense.
A finales de 2010, Tesfaye subió anónimamente varias canciones a YouTube bajo el nombre "The Weeknd". Lanzó tres mixtapes de nueve pistas a lo largo de 2011: House of Balloons, Thursday and Echoes of Silence, que eran muy aclamadas. Al año siguiente, lanzo su álbum recopilatorio titulado "Trilogy" con treinta pistas que consisten en versiones remasterizadas de su material mixtape y tres canciones adicionales. Fue puesto en el mercado por el sello musical Republic Records y XO. En 2013, lanzó su álbum debut Kiss Land, que fue reconocido por los singles "Kiss Land" y "Live For".
Strike a pose with my kinfolk
Front page of the billboards
Suit and tie and cigar smokes
Macallan shots till it burn throats
We still celebrating Super Bowl
Catalog looking legendary
Ring froze like it's February
XO, that's a mercenary
A quarter bill on an off-year
Used to sing on lofts
But now we cruising on a yacht, we clear, yeah
Said you wanted your boyfriend jealous with a couple pics
And you didn't expect to fall for me once you got this dick
The city dark, city dangerous
Your girlfriend's tryna pair you with somebody more famous
But instead you ended up with someone so basic, faceless
Someone to take your pictures and frame it
And my new girl, she a movie star
My new girl, she a movie star
I loved her right, make her scream like Neve Campbell
But when I make her laugh
Swear it cures my depressing thoughts
'Cause baby girl, she a movie star
Baby girl, she a movie star
I told myself that I'd never fall
But here we go again
Ooh, here we go again
Life's a dream 'cause it's never what it seems
But you'd rather love and lost with tears
Than never love at all
So here we go again
[Tyler, The Creator]
Although this love is strong to me
Some things can change, go wrong with me
We don't know how it's gonna be
Forever is too long to me
We don't need the government involved because we like to touch
We don't need no damn religion telling us that we in love
But if we did crush down the road, spending lawyer fees up
Pen and pack gon' save my ass if these feelings freeze up
You gon' sign this prenup, you gon' sign this prenup
You gon' sign this prenup, you gon' sign this prenup
[The Weeknd]
Ooh, here we go again
Life's a dream 'cause it's never what it seems
But you'd rather love and lost with tears
Than never love at all
So here we go again
The number one station to free your soul (free your soul)
