The Weeknd's (Abel Tesfaye) upcoming sophomore album, "Kiss Land," is streaming on NPR a week before its Sept. 10 release.
Tesfaye talked to Complex Magazine about his thinking behind the album, saying, "When I think about Kiss Land, I think about a terrifying place. It's a place I've never been to before that I'm very unfamiliar with," he said. "That's what Kiss Land is to me, an environment that's just honest fear. I don't know who I am right now and I'm doing all these outlandish things in these settings that I'm not familiar with. To me, it's the most terrifying thing ever. So when you hear the screams in the record and you hear all these horror references and you feel scared, listen to the music because I want you to feel what I'm feeling. Kiss Land is like a horror movie."
This new effort comes after 2012's "Trilogy," and includes on its 12 tracks collaborations with Drake and Kavinsky and a remix from Pharrell, according to Consequence of Sound.
The album features singles "Kiss Land," "Belong to the World," "Love in the Sky" and "Live For" (the Drake collaboration), which are currently available for download on iTunes.
