TWENTY EIGHT//THE WEEKND

I tuned into BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe show tonight to hear one of the highly anticipated new tracks premiere on the show. The track was 'Twenty Eight' which is one of the new pieces of material on the upcoming 'Trilogy' which is being released on Tuesday. I am well and truly hooked on this one, the beautifully haunting vocals and sultry beat house the raw emotions from Abel. Zane also announced that there will be an interview with the Weeknd on the show at the end of November so watch this space! Listen to the radio rip of this track below.
6 days til Trilogy.

WICKED GAMES//THE WEEKND

The Weeknd releases yet another video for fans in the wake of the highly anticipated 'Trilogy' , dropping November 13th. This video is for the first track I ever heard and got me hooked on The Weeknd last summer, making him one of my favourite artists, 'Wicked Games'. The track is taken from the first mixtape, 'House Of Balloons' which was released March 21st of last year. Its incredible just how much success has come to Abel and the gang, with the last two mixtapes Thursday and EOS inevitably gaining him so many more fans and of course his Fall Tour this year and now tracklist and album artwork released for Trilogy as well as two videos being released within the same month... there is really no stopping this artist and now I'm sure we can all say he's getting the recognition and exposure he truly deserves as such a talented artist.

NEW VIDEO: ROLLING STONE//THE WEEKND & TRILOGY ARTWORK

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.
