Every nominee list was great until AOTY. No After Hours? No FTBC? But they do nominate the deluxe version of the Black Pumas record? I was sure that this was going to win, even though I'm not the biggest fan of this album. Welp. Guess I'm happy for Dua, HAIM, and Taylor.
Highest-rated AOTY by users already? Either the Weeknd's doing something right with this album or the mixed-to-negative have yet to awaken from their slumber.
Based on the recent single, I really hope this album will be a fusion of the synth-pop we get on Starboy and the darker moody experimentation we got in his early Trilogy.
