The packaging is great, it really feels like you enter the Kiss Land universe when you have this record in your hands and open it. I recently picked up this vinyl release and it has completely turned around my opinion of this album. 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.

While the original pressing of The Weeknd's Kiss Land was released in 2013, this special Green Translucent Vinyl edition was released in November of 2018 to help celebrate the five-year anniversary of the album.

The album's production was primarily handled by DannyBoyStyles, The Weeknd himself and Jason "DaHeala" Quenneville, among others. 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 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. Fuelled by the success of the singles, ‘Belong to the World’, ‘Love In The Sky’ and the titular track ‘Kiss Land’, the album shot to No.

Releasing on the album’s exact anniversary, The Weeknd and Superplastic linked up to curate a capsule of three unique vinyl figures. 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 via Urban Legends/UMe. On a global level, Kiss Land broke the top 100 charts in several foreign countries including France, Australia, Germany, and Ireland.Each figure stands tall at eight inches, and dons a custom tail as well as a trippy set of removable VR goggles atop 3D eyes. Lovely imagery on the packaging, bad poor orientation of the sleeves within each other - the gatefold slides out of the box DOWNWARD which could easily lead to accidental dropping as you remove the box from the shelf.

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".

The collection sees the classic SuperJanky model reworked with three new designs in striking green, red and black colorways. I popped the records straight into Mo-Fi sleeves and just keep 'em separate in the gatefold pockets. 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. Credited as primary performer and executive producer, The Weeknd's debut, Kiss Land, propelled him towards the spotlight, garnering critical acclaim and rapid stardom.

You can tell that a lot of care was put into this release and I wish more artists/labels would do the same. However, that is the only decent thing about it because when you play it, it sounds like a bootleg copy of the album. In the edit page, go to the 'Metadata' tab and add your Juno artist, label or release page for listeners to purchase your release / releases. To commemorate the occasion, Abel has teamed up with Superplastic for a limited-edition collection of vinyl toys. 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.COMPLEX participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means COMPLEX gets paid commissions on purchases made through our links to retailer sites.
