Kiss Land

Product Information

It was the album that launched his career into the stratosphere, and now five years later, The Weeknd’s Kiss Land is getting a limited-edition double LP reissue on green color vinyl via Urban Legends/UMe. Many of the songs remain familiar because it spawned a high number of singles - think "Belong To The World", "Live For", "Wanderlust" etc. It also has moments of insight and candor; The Weeknd's lyrical acumen allows him to starkly drift between aggressive intimacy, addiction, and vulnerability—leading to complex chaos in a modern world reflected in tiny, tightly strewn, modern love joints. The Weeknd would go on to release two more studio albums and his recent EP, My Dear Melancholy this past March, as well as collaborate with the likes of Lana Del Rey, Future, Travis Scott, and Kendrick Lamar to name a few, but Kiss Land serves as the starting point of where it all began. I wasn’t the biggest fan of this album when it first came out; I preferred the Trilogy and subsequent BBtM around this time, kind of ignoring Kissland.

Its following singles like "Love In The Sky" and "Wanderlust" bolstered the album's monumental success. You can tell that a lot of care was put into this release and I wish more artists/labels would do the same. Synthy, drum-driven, dark and dancey at times, the production duties were also shared by DannyBoyStyles, Sebastian Tellier, frequent Action Bronson collaborator, Harry Fraud, and the venerable Pharrell, respectively. COMPLEX participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means COMPLEX gets paid commissions on purchases made through our links to retailer sites.The album's production was primarily handled by DannyBoyStyles, The Weeknd himself and Jason "DaHeala" Quenneville, among others. The album was supported by six singles: "Kiss Land", "Belong to the World", "Love in the Sky", "Live For", "Pretty" and "Wanderlust". The Kiss Land collection is in recognition of this journey we are on together, and I am grateful to Superplastic for helping to bring this vision to life and celebrate this special moment. Kiss Land also saw Abel Tesfaye take more creative control, producing the record almost entirely himself, with additional contributions by DannyBoyStyles, Sebastian Tellier, frequent Action Bronson collaborator, Harry Fraud and Pharrell. I popped the records straight into Mo-Fi sleeves and just keep 'em separate in the gatefold pockets.

Included in the collection are a green 8-inch SuperJanky figure (limited to 1200), a red SuperJanky figure (limited to 200), and a black SuperJanky figure (limited to 500). It was the album that launched his career into the stratosphere, and now five years later, The Weeknd’s Kiss Land is getting a limited-edition double LP reissue on green color vinyl. Was so disappointed that it turned out to be more of a collector piece than something you could actually play and enjoy. Only gripe about the packaging is that the original inner sleeves are super super weak, and were already seam-split along the bottom. This is the deluxe edition of The Weeknd’s debut studio album, Kiss Land, which includes two bonus tracks, being a Pharrell Williams remix of “Wanderlust” and a remix of Kavinsky’s “Odd Look.It’s surreal to look back on 10 years since the release of Kiss Land and to see the lasting impact this album has had on me as an artist and how it continues to be received by my fans,” The Weeknd said of the collection, which launches on Sept. Hot on the heels of new album "After Hours", UMC has decided to deliver a fresh vinyl reissue of The Weeknd's 2013 debut studio album "Kiss Land". Singles on the album include hits such as Kiss Land, Belong to the World, Love in the Sky, Pretty, Wanderlust, and Live For, which even sees an appearance from fellow Canadian superstar, Drake.
