For a young man who has lived nearly his entire life in the confines of his hometown establishing a comfort zone, suddenly being thrust into the international spotlight and touring all over the world can bring about some interesting experiences, to say the least - and Kiss Land delves deeper into those moments and relationships. As it pertains to The Weeknd’s life, it makes sense. In an interview with Complex Magazine, he said that when he thinks about Kiss Land, he thinks about a terrifying place, one with which he is very unfamiliar. The Weeknd has finally prepared his major label debut album entitled Kiss Land. He released three critically acclaimed mixtapes in 2011 (House of Balloons, Thursday, Echoes of Silence) and, after being featured on Drake’s extremely popular “October’s Very Own” blog, he signed a record deal with Universal Republic and created his own imprint label, XO. The 23-year-old singer lived in the Toronto, Ontario area for the first 21 years of his life. His music explores the dark side of fame, excessive drug use and themes of sex and its destructive nature. Abel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd, is not the typical R&B artist.
