The Weeknd credits Vice City for Blinding Lights

[Charley]

Dunno if you guys saw this. The Weeknd's song 'Blinding Lights' became the most successful US Billboard song in history last week, and he credited Vice City.

"Vice City really opened my eyes to a lot of ’80s music, so there was a nostalgia for when I was a kid playing video games and listening to Hall & Oates and Michael Jackson while driving through the city."

Pretty rad.

I did listen to the song but I never knew he had credited Vice City. Maybe vice city was the inspiration for Blinding Lights(?)

Nonetheless, that is astounding really.

Yeah I had this song on loop for hours when it first came out. Mad lad literally did it!
