If you're hungering for more some more A-list R&B after Miguel's show at the Penn Museum this week, look no further. The very same night as the show, soulful R&B artist extravaganza The Weeknd dropped a new song titled "Enemy." And yes, it's good. Though apparently a passing cover of The Smiths' "Please, please, please let me get what I want," "Enemy" immediately finds itself to be just much darker and solemn in typical, glorious Weeknd style.

SPIN : This might be the weirdest combination of artists performing together since Fred Durst rapped on that "What's Goin' On" tribute track.

We got alot of love for The Weeknd here at WTGR. We named House of Balloons the fifth best album of last year. The first part of a trilogy of albums which will all now be remastered, remixed, edited and released as the suitably titled Trilogy album in November. The first snippet we have is this, a re-dressed version of House of Balloons' 'Wicked Games', the pinnacle of said record. It keeps The Weeknd's USP - that being Tesfaye's sugary-sweet vocal - and suggests that Trilogy will have [...]
