Listen "The Weeknd - Come Through"
Episode Synopsis
"Come Thru" offers a rare glimpse into The Weeknd's early artistry, recorded during the "Kiss Land" era but never officially released. With its moody, laid-back vibe and introspective lyrics like "Everything I said I'd do, I did," it captures Abel’s raw, unpolished sound before he became a global icon. Lyrical elements would later be repurposed for Lil Wayne's "I’m Good" and Drake’s "Come Thru," making the demo a fascinating intersection of influence and creativity. It reflects his fast-paced, fame-fueled lifestyle, mixing gritty, seductive imagery with a sense of self-awareness and vulnerability.
