Life can be beautiful, full of love and vigor. But, life has its dark side as well. Life can be ugly and foreboding. The Weeknd has captured theses two aspects of life in his music. In many of his songs, he spins a tale of pain and that searching for love through his unique lyrics and rhythms.
Abel Tesfaye, more famously known as The Weeknd, is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer. In 2010, he began to upload music onto YouTube under the stage name, The Weeknd. The next year he released several mixtapes. It was 2012 when The Weeknd released his first album, Trilogy, He released Trilogy through the Republic Records and his very own label XO. In 2013, The Weeknd release his debut studio album, Kiss Land. Some of his big hits from that album were Kiss Land* and Live For*. The Weeknd's music exploded with his song, Earned it, for the infamous movie, 50 Shades of Gray. Now, fans anxiously wait for his next album, Beauty Behind the Madness, which is expected to be released this Friday, August 28, 2015. The songs Often*, Earned it, and my personal favorite, The Hills* are some of the big singles from his upcoming album, and the song, Can't Feel My Face has become his number one hit.
Yesterday, August 24, 2015, The Weeknd just released the music video for the song, Tell Your Friends, from his album, Beauty Behind the Madness. This music video falls on the darker side of the spectrum, but you can tell he had fun it. This song, Tell Your Friends, has a great beat, like the rest of The Weeknd's work. Also, this song is explicit, so if you are sensitive to such music, be warned. Be sure to check out The Weeknd's newest music video below and his album, Beauty Behind the Madness, on Friday. Enjoy!
