In “Outside”, Abel describes a drug-filled sexual encounter with a woman, who had recently broken up with her boyfriend. Enticing her with every syllable within his words, The Weeknd paints a picture of what sex is like with him. He not only describes his sexual encounter, but creates a metaphor for his listeners. Once you start listening to his music, you are automatically trapped.
On the production, Illangelo proves that any sample can be turned into a literal work of art. With remnants of Cult’s “Go Outside” used in the background, the perfect dream-like atmosphere is set. The Weeknd can do nothing but add his own brilliance to the song.
