Anyone listened to The Weeknd?

New artist, free mixtape was released a couple of months ago...

It's very intoxicating and dark, not normally my thing but I've been playing the album on repeat ever since.

Listen to "High For This" and "House of Balloons / Glass Table", my favourites.

Massive bump, but surely there are some more fans on here? He is awesome. :cool:

drake was touring in Europe and i went to to see him with some friends in Amsterdam back in march. The weeknd opened up for him before drake came on. everyone was smoking and drinking so it was an amazing atmosphere. love his music. his voice sounds even better live ! listening to his older album atm ( The Trilogy )

As above, really good voice, agree with older stuff being better

I see him and just see massive hipster douche bags.

The guys good, but his main audience are horrific.

So, his new album is out. After a few listens, it's alright, but you can tell he's definitely just aiming for the fame now. It's miles apart from the dark, mysterious sort of sound he had going on Trilogy, and I can imagine his concerts will now be filled with teen girls.
