Yesterday (I don't know if this went up earlier and I just didn't see it), I saw that The Weeknd is finally going to drop his first studio album. This is huge.
Most of you know The Weeknd even though you don't think you know him. That song Crew Love that everyone has heard about 50 million times on the radio? Yeah, that's The Weeknd in the hook. Most people don't know it's him (even though the name of the song is Crew Love (feat. The Weeknd)) and it's a damn shame.
He also appears in The Ride in the background sample. If you listen to something with him in, you will instantly fall in love. It's almost Frank Ocean-esque the way that he sings, but it also has a little bit more auto-tune so it's more electronic when he appears on the Take Care album.
However, his solo stuff is just good. He's released three mixtapes: Echoes of Silence, House of Balloons, and Thursday. They are all available online for a free download. Thursday is my personal favorite but to be honest I've never really sat down and just listened to them all from start to finish, despite the fact that I have told myself that I would over and over again.
You know what.. I'll do that right now.
In the meantime, just download his stuff and listen. It's awesome. His new album "Trilogy" drops on the 13th of November so be on the look out for a pre-order sometime soon.
