So here it is, the first official video released from The Weeknd's second mixtape 'Thursday' created by Abel Tesfaye himself and Chris Cuningham on the official VEVO channel.
Seeing this seems surreal, I never really thought about when i'd see official music videos of Abel like this but of course now he has well and truly blown up, after the signing with Universal Republic, and the highly anticipated 'Fall Tour' which is underway now until he finishes on the 29th October in Montreal. The fanbase that The Weeknd has will no doubt continue to soar when November 13th hits, with the release of all three mixtapes (House of Balloons, Thursday and Echoes Of Silence) plus unreleased bonus material, in the upcoming release of 'Trilogy'. In the meantime the artwork has officially been released along with this video for the fans in the wake of this release.
After having got the 60-track mixtape 'The Lonny Breaux' by Frank Ocean, I recently went on to get his earlier-released 'Nostalgia,Ultra' which came out through his Tumblr this summer, featuring the tracks he is more well known for (see 'Swim Good' & 'Novacane'). The mixtape is a mix of his pop-esque and hip hop style and his sounds are more diverse in this mixtape and I feel really show off his talent as an artist. This mixtape has reached fame in the likes of featuring in the prestigious Rolling Stone as number 25 in the top '50 Best Albums of 2011', number 5 in TIME magazine's 'The Top 10 Everything of 2011' (albums section) and number three in The Guardian's 'Best Albums of 2011' and I can definitely see why. This mixtape is without a doubt a must have from 2011.Frank Ocean has also been nominated as one of 15 artists in the BBC's 'Sound of 2012' alongside such names as ASAP Rocky and Flux Pavilion. The winner and top 5 will be revealed in January..
