The Weeknd Once Admitted All His Music Is About Lana Del Rey.In particular, The Weeknd and Lana Del Rey have worked together a few times. And The Weeknd once admitted just how important Del Rey is to his music . On the surface, The Weeknd and Del Rey might seem like very different artists. After all, The Weeknd’s music hip hop and soul sound feels more in line with someone like Ariana Grande. Meanwhile, Del Rey’s career lives much more in line with rock-infused pop. However, the two artists are much more similar than the genres of their music might reveal. For instance, The Weeknd and Del Rey both often capture a dream-like quality in their songs. In addition, their lyrical content dips into dark territory, such as their preoccupation with drug references. So it makes sense they would work well together. And so they have. Beginning with The Weeknd's 2015 single “Prisoner,” they've worked together on five songs. In a 2015 interview with Pitchfork, The Weeknd explained the interconnected nature of Del Rey's music and his own de él. “Me and Lana have been friends for a long time. I've inspired her. She’s inspired me. I feel like we've always been talking to each other through our music. She is the girl in my music, and I am the guy in her music by ella. It's just this ghostly collaboration that feels the most natural on the whole [Beauty Behind the Madness] album. Even the whole monologue intro on “Lonely Star” from [my 2011 mixtape] Thursday - I just realized now that that's Lana. That’s Lana’s voice of her. I mean, it's my voice from her pitched up, but it's her from her. It’s who she is. She was definitely the first feature that I wanted to bring on this album. " The Weeknd and Del Rey are more than just collaborators, it seems. The pair’s music - according to The Weeknd - is spiritually linked. Perhaps this revelation puts into context not only the collaborations between these two but their respective catalogs as well.
