The weeknd
The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) is an amazing Ethiopian
Canadian chill wave/r&b artist
based in Toronto. He is by no means Drakes protege, but just his own self. Some
music critics have even said Drakes new album was definitely inspired by
Abel. The Weeknd and his xo crew did link up with Drake and were featured on each others songs and even connected their acronyms, Drakes OVO (Octobers Very Own) and Abels XO (Ecstasy and Oxycodone).After Drakes sophomore album Take Care was released The Weeknds popularity blew up ..like a c4.
He surfaced in 2010 with a few songs floating around. Built up a supportive fan base then released a free mixtape , House of Balloons, on his website.After what felt like eons he then released another free mixtape, Thursday, also on his website.
His
music involves a
cool smugness, a lot of sex, a fun addiction to various
drugs and lean, trippy ass beats, a sensual voice, and the explosion and/or convulsions of ovaries across the world.
Many wonder what he will do after his balloon trilogy is over.
