Heartless (2019)

"The Weeknd may not reinvent the wheel or his career, but he certainly flexes hard on “Heartless,” roaring back into the music game. “Heartless” excels, checking off the expected boxes for Tesfaye: killer production, unapologetic songwriting, and ripe, distinct vocals unlike any others. All in all, this is a certified bop." The Musical Hype

Can't Feel My Face (2015)

"Abel Tesfaye has built a whole career around the relationship between drugs and love, primarily using the former to avoid feeling the latter (or, well, anything). "Can't Feel My Face" is his entry in the love-is-a-drug pantheon, and it's prototypical Weeknd—at least topically. "I can't feel my face when I'm with you, but I love it," he sings, and while Tesfaye usually sounds content to be left alone with drugs, here there's audibly a living, breathing person spiking his dopamine levels. This helps "Can't Feel My Face" come off less like Tesfaye wielding an overused trope and more like someone attempting to describe strange new emotions using the only language they understand—that of an addict." Pitchfork

Call Out My Name (2017)

"I don’t know about the rest of the world, but I’m loving The Weeknd’s return to his old roots of darkness, agony and mystery. I feel that there is more sense of authenticity coming from this new track, where as his last two albums were a great opportunity for experimentation. Call Out My Name is one of those tracks that you want to share the artists misery with whilst belting out the lyrics to full blast in the car. Is Abel going to use this EP to release new tracks, or is it a sneaky lead up to another highly anticipated studio album? Regardless of the artists’ plans, we can all be thankful and appreciate The Weeknd for releasing new material because a music world without this sultry voice is a music world not fulfilled. ."

I Feel It Coming (2016)

"All in all, “I Feel It Coming” is a welcome change of pace for The Weeknd. While there are sex references throughout the course of the record, it goes deeper than the physical, something we haven’t often heard from The Weeknd. It is well produced, superbly performed, and has the potential to be a hit." The Musical Hype

The Hills (2015)

"His recent singles ditched his murky sound for shinier, poppier fare, but R&B outlier The Weeknd goes back to basics with “The Hills,” an ode to druggy, illicit booty calls. “When I’m f—ed up, that’s the real me,” he sings over a dissonant synth haze in an arresting update to the woozy hedonism of his influential early mixtapes."
