More than a decade after its release, The Weeknd's 'House Of Balloons' continues to influence artists today
“I just feel like when Doc, Abel, and myself linked up, it was just kind of like a meeting of the minds of people that want to hear or see something different in the world,” Illangelo says. The Weeknd’s ghostly opening vocals make “Crew Love” distinctly his, and he owns the track before Drake enters halfway through.
At the time, McKinney, Illangelo, and The Weeknd were going for new, fresh sounds. They worked swiftly:was released via a zip folder on The Weeknd’s official website just two months after the trio’s initial meeting. McKinney says the quick release allowed for “the freshest shit.”, McKinney and Illangelo were minimalistic in their approach, utilizing software like Ableton Live, MPC studio, and Cubase instead of many different instruments.
“[The Knowing] was a beat that I had for probably three years at that time,” McKinney says. “But I had it at 90 BPM. And he was like, ‘I want to do stuff that's wavy.’ And I was like, ‘Oh man, this Cocteau Twins sample [of “McKinney then slowed the track down by 10 BPM, but it still wasn’t “wavy” enough for him.
“He’s like, ‘Slower,’” McKinney says. “Finally, it's half-time and he starts banging his head. And I'm like, ‘I'm not hearing the hype-ness,’ and he's like, ‘It's perfect.’ It ended up being 45 BPM.” McKinney and Illangelo both say another prominent sample-driven song, “House of Balloons / Glass Table Girls,” is their favorite ofs original nine tracks. McKinney first created the instrumental for the track circa 2009, but The Weeknd immediately gravitated toward “House of Balloons / Glass Table Girls” when McKinney was playing him tracks for consideration.
