The Weeknd’s single Out of Time won the Best R&B music video at the VMAs.

The song was released together with its album Dawn FM on digital download and streaming, CD, cassette tapes, and, of course, vinyl records.

In the song, the Weeknd speaks of how his traumas from past relationships have affected the relationships he’s had after. It showed acceptance of being f*cked up and regretting the stupid things they’ve done all in the same song.

It definitely suits the overall theme of the album which was very “purgatoric”, as the artist journeys towards the light.

There were 3 versions of the vinyl album on the online store and all were on two 12-inch black vinyl records housed inside a single vinyl jacket for the standard version and gatefold jackets with two different artwork for the Collector’s 01 and Collector’s 02 versions.

This year it won the Best K-pop music video award at the VMAs.

The single by Lisa was accompanied by the b-side Money which also gained great attention from the western audience.

And just like most K-pop CD albums, the Lalisa vinyl album also has many inclusions and has very uncommon packaging.

The gold vinyl, together with its vinyl pet sleeve, double-sided round photocard set, double-sided round lyrics card, and selfie photocard set, are encased in a clear vinyl case.

A black envelope with a vinyl stand is also included.

The I Wanna Be Your Slave is from the Italian rock band Måneskin’s second studio album Teatro d’ira: Vol. I, which was released on March 19, 2021.

The song went viral on Spotify charts upon its release and now has won an award as the Best Alternative music video in the VMAs.

The song talks about the duality that exists in a romantic relationship. It portrays the people’s obsession and their willingness to be enslaved as long as it wins that special someone over.

It’s a dark but very true reality of love and paired with its video with a voyeuristic loop it sure deserves its award.
