Inspired by an impressive and eclectic mishmash of sounds spanning decades, The Weeknd has crafted his own unique genre of music. It’s hard to pinpoint a specific style when his music is so complex, but many of The Weeknd fans will know him best for his hard hitting ’80s synth-filled beat and cinematic keys.
Taking inspiration from The Canadian artist himself and his many chart topping hits, we’ll show you how you can create a beat in the style of The Weeknd – right here on BandLab’s web Mix Editor. Best part – it’s completely free. No hidden costs, paid content, or limitations in quality.
