Following the release of the compilation albumTrilogy (2012) and his debut studio albumKiss Land (2013), the Weeknd spoke toMTV about the two projects; describing them as the first and second chapters of his life.
Trilogy was more of a claustrophobic body of work, before it was released I hadn't left my city for 21 years, and I had never been on a plane, not once. I spent my entire life in one setting, that's probably why pieces of the album feel like one long track, because that's what my life felt like. It felt like one long song.Kiss Land is the story afterTrilogy – it's pretty much the second chapter of my life. The narrative takes place after my first flight; it's very foreign, veryAsian -inspired. When people ask me, "Why Japan?" I simply tell them it's the furthest I've ever been from home. It really is a different planet.[ 1]
Shortly afterKiss Land , the Weeknd began contributing to film soundtracks and other projects. He appeared on thesoundtrack toThe Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013) on the song "Devil May Cry" and as a featured artist onSia andDiplo 's single "Elastic Heart ".[ 2] [ 3] On September 30, 2014, the Weeknd appeared on Ariana Grande's single "Love Me Harder " from her second studio albumMy Everything .[ 4] He then made an appearance on thesoundtrack toFifty Shades of Grey (2015) on the songs "Earned It " and "Where You Belong"; with the former track peaking at number three on the USBillboard Hot 100 .[ 5] [ 6]
On July 5, 2015, during an interview onBeats 1 Radio ,Ed Sheeran revealed that he had worked with the Weeknd on the album and thatKanye West was also involved.[ 7] The Weeknd formally announced his second album on July 9 by revealing the album's title and sharing its artwork.[ 8]
Beauty Behind the Madness has been described by critics as a noticeable shift from the Weeknd'salternative R&B background to a more mainstreampop -oriented sound; with some of his original elements remaining intact.[ 9] [ 10]
In addition to its alt-R&B[ 11] and pop sonics,[ 12] Beauty Behind the Madness incorporates elements ofdisco ,[ 13] funk ,[ 14] soul ,[ 15] art rock ,[ 16] blues ,[ 17] andtrap .[ 18] Influences ofMichael Jackson 'sThriller (1982) andBad (1987) are also present throughout the album.[ 19] Lyrical themes include romance, success, loneliness, self-loathing, and independence.[ 20]
On June 26, 2014, the Weeknd announced the King of the Fall Tour, which spanned North America in September and October of that year.Schoolboy Q andJhené Aiko appeared as supporting acts.[ 21] The tour was announced the day after the Weeknd uploaded the single "Often " onSoundCloud .[ 21] On August 20, 2015, he announced The Madness Fall Tour, his first arena tour, in support of the album.[ 22]
On July 4, 2015, the Weeknd headlined FVDED in the Park inSurrey, British Columbia , Canada. On July 9, the Weeknd continued to promote the album by headlining summer music festivals, includingLollapalooza in Chicago, the Hard Summer Music Festival inPomona, California , the Summer Set Music and Camping Festival inSomerset, Wisconsin , Philadelphia'sMade in America Festival ,Austin City Limits in Austin, and Seattle'sBumbershoot Festival .[ 23]
The first single, "Often", was released on July 31, 2014,[ 24] after appearing on streaming services the previous month.[ 25] [ 26] The song peaked at number 59 and number 69 on the USBillboard Hot 100 andCanadian Hot 100 , respectively.[ 5] [ 27]
The second single, "The Hills ", was released on May 27, 2015.[ 28] The song peaked at number one on theBillboard Hot 100.[ 5] [ 29]
The third single, "Can't Feel My Face ", was released on June 8, 2015, following the performance of the song by the Weeknd atApple Worldwide Developers Conference on the same day.[ 30] The song peaked at number one on theBillboard Hot 100.[ 5]
"In the Night " was serviced to UScontemporary hit radio on November 17, 2015, as the album's fourth single.[ 31] The song peaked at number 12 on theBillboard Hot 100.[ 5] [ 32]
"Acquainted " was serviced to USurban contemporary radio on November 17, 2015, as the album's fifth and final single.[ 33] It was also serviced to USrhythmic contemporary on February 16, 2016.[ 34] The song peaked at number 60 on theBillboard Hot 100.[ 5]
Beauty Behind the Madness was met with generally positive reviews. AtMetacritic , which assigns anormalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album received anaverage score of 74, based on 26 reviews.[ 36] Aggregator AnyDecentMusic? gave it 6.9 out of 10, based on their assessment of the critical consensus.[ 35]
Sheldon Pearce ofThe A.V. Club said, "It expertly and carefully closes the gap between the Weeknd's perception and his reality".[ 37] Greg Kot of theChicago Tribune said, "He's aiming for harder truths, creating pop that also works as a commentary on choice and consequence".[ 38] Mackenzie Herd ofExclaim! said, "Beauty Behind the Madness proves that the Weeknd can thrive in the mainstream, and while the lyrics aren't overtly profound, he's proven that he is more versatile than previously thought, which is perhaps of greater importance at this stage in his career".[ 43] Kyle Anderson ofEntertainment Weekly said, "Anyone looking for a collection of homages to the King of Pop will be disappointed. Those masterpieces ["Can't Feel My Face" and "In The Night"] are outliers, and they end up makingMadness ' missteps all the more jarring.... In the middle of those two poles lies a series of bass-heavy throb-and-moan blasts with the signature oddness (shape-shifting melodies, twitchy percussion) that makes the Weeknd a compelling artist".[ 40] April Clare Welsh ofNME said, "He may have softened his edge, upped the production and pulled in the stars, but the Weeknd remains an outsider".[ 14] Andrew Ryce ofPitchfork said, "In the end, enjoying the Weeknd requires a certain suspension of disbelief, and that remains true onBeauty Behind the Madness . You really have to buy into his bad-guy persona.... For newcomers, there's a whole world to explore, and onBeauty Behind the Madness it's richer and smarter than ever".[ 13]
Jon Dolan ofRolling Stone said, "If the sound has widened and even brightened in spots, the Weeknd still rocks a seriousEeyore vibe for much ofBeauty Behind the Madness ".[ 19] Harley Brown ofSpin said, "Beauty Behind the Madness is front-loaded with fresh directions for the Weeknd that achieve the impossible: make it sound like he's actually enjoying himself".[ 42] Andy Kellman ofAllMusic said, "The commercial strides are obvious. The creative advancements are less apparent, obstructed by some unappealing measures, but they're in there".[ 11] Helen Brown ofThe Daily Telegraph said," "Real Life" builds up to a pitch of doomed drama from a corrosive slash of guitar as Tesfaye confides that even his "Mama called me destructive". ButEd Sheeran fails to rescue him on the tedious "Dark Times" andLana Del Rey —who ought to be his perfect partner in pop-noir—adds nothing but a bored spritz of vocal perfume to the lethargic "Prisoner"" .[ 39] Andy Gill ofThe Independent said, "Beauty Behind the Madness leaves one feeling just as estranged from Abel Tesfaye's depraved character as previous releases boasting less adhesive tunes".[ 44] Kitty Empire ofThe Observer said, "The Weeknd's most conventional songs thus far are Sheeran's boringly retro "Dark Times", and "Shameless", a guitar ballad unredeemable even by its deranged guitar solo. Elsewhere, the step up is more convincing, if not always easy to listen to".[ 41]
Commercial performance [ edit ] On August 31, 2015,Billboard estimated thatBeauty Behind the Madness would sell approximately 300,000 copies during the first week of its release in the United States.[ 70] The album debuted at number one on theBillboard 200 with 412,000album-equivalent units ; it sold 326,000 copies in its first week, with the remainder of its unit total reflecting itsstreaming activity andtrack sales.
