Abel Tesfaye aka The Weeknd (yes with only two E's, not three) has been the latest buzz all around internet. The Canadian born singer has caught mainly the attention of Young Money artist Drake, when he started releasing his songs off his 9-track mixtape known as 'House of Balloons' late last year.
Mixing elements of R&B/Minimal/Dubstep/Electro and more while using a signature echo and distortion to basically form a style of his own, Abel is being compared to artists such as The Dream, R.Kelly, early sounds of Drake and even newcomer Frank Ocean. Although none of these artists can actually be pinpointed to his sound, it is quick to notice that his unique production will leave a mark on your ears.
Frequent use of drugs, alcohol, sleeping around with girls, early mornings and late nights can be found in The Weeknd's content, which are still topics that may take a while to adjust too or sink in right away.
This is one of the standout tracks on The Weeknd mixtape, featuring a memorable Aaliyah sample.
