PARTYNEXTDOOR covers the May issue of FADER magazine.
In the issue he reveals the details of his life as a songwriter before eventually pitching himself as a solo artist to Jimmy Iovine. We also get to learn where the name “PARTYNEXTDOOR” stems from (it’s not as exciting as you might think) and what “férina” means, as well as how Party got connected with the OVO camp.
And of course, The Weeknd comparisons couldn’t be avoided.
“People throw that [Weeknd comparison] over me because I came at a time where people assumed I was there to fill a void,” he says, alluding to The Weeknd’s departure from the OVO fold in 2012. “A lot of things that came out of Toronto were darker at the time. But me? I’m all about colors. I’ll flip samples where one’s a completely dark song and the next one is a complete sexual song. People think my whole thing is a dark thing, but I don’t.”
