In case you haven't heard, The Weeknd is a Toronto-based 'alternative R&B' singer named Abel Tesfaye...and The Weeknd is totally the real dealio. I say in my pre mentioned description 'alternative R&B' because The Weeknd are totally miles away from your typical urban artists/singers ... nope, something bigger is going on here (and that includes the words 'art' + 'music,' a rare combination these days).
Just out is an official (?) video of "What You Need"
Just think if Prince came out today with a dose of D'Angelo. Something like that.
Also from their "House of Balloons" album released March 21st, we've filtered the very best songs of The Weeknd. Rumour is they are just now signing to a major label in the U.S. Check out some great songs below.
