Timbaland Takes Heat For Comparing The Weeknd to Michael Jackson
Dawn FM vs. Thriller.
Who are you taking?
If we asked legendary producer Timbaland, he’d argue they’re on the same level.
The Weeknd’s Dawn FM has garnered much acclaim from across the music industry and with fans, but producer Timbaland made the comparison to one of the greatest albums of all time, Thriller and the Twitterverse was not having it!

Personally, I’m a fan of the Weeknd, and I think there are some similarities between his voice and Michael Jackson’s, but I don’t care if it’s the Weeknd, Usher, Kanye or Beyonce – there has yet to be anyone who can match the level of influence on music and culture like Michael Jackson.
That being said, Dawn FM is a solid album and it’s definitely going to be on repeat in my headphones!
