The Weeknd- Twenty Eight (Official Video) Watch it right  here  right now.

Starting to think of the VZ top albums of the year...

"Tesfaye's music takes you to another place. There is nothing else to do but to keep it on repeat and never come back..." The Weekend  |  Trilogy For the large part of The Weeknd fans reading this, you will already have all of his songs safely stored on your iPod. Yet, for those who are blissfully unaware of Abel Tesfaye’s The Weeknd, Trilogy - made up of three remastered mix tape and released under Universal Republic and his own label XO -  is the best musical introduction of an r'n'b artist that [...]

Releasing music for free might be a quick way of garnering attention, but it’s not necessarily a route to success. Yet last year both Frank Ocean and Abel Tesfaye (aka The Weeknd) released free mixtapes to critical acclaim and have gone on, in 2012, to release two of the most stylistically important albums of the year. ‘Trilogy’, a re-release collection of last year’s three free mixtapes, marks the first major label release from Tesfaye, who signed to [...]

Over a year and a half after releasing the first installment of the Trilogy mixtapes, The Weeknd  has appeared several times on Drake ’s well-loved Take Care , attracted droves of fans to a widely anticipated performance at Coachella, toured with Florence and The Machine , and even hung out with Diddy and Ciara . Still, Abel Tesfaye has remained absurdly quiet [...]

• TheWeeknd - Trilogy

Ladies and Gentlemen, The Weeknd has a new song out off of his upcoming album  Trilogy (due out November 13th, online and in stores). The song is called, " Enemy " and its as sexy as you would expect any Weeknd song to be. This guy couldn't make an ugly song if he tried, seriously. Listen to the new track below, preferably alone (or with a friend) in a low lit room. In the meantime we'll keep you posted for any new Weeknd business to come. [...]

The magical crooning voice of The Weeknd has revealed his mysterious face in his newest video for the track, " Wicked Games " this week, and its pretty sultry. The video features a seductive and scantily clad lady chasing Abel with her shadows. I can't think of a better suited video for this track. Enjoy the classy beauty below.

El clip corresponde a al tema Wicked Games del álbum House of Balloons , editado en marzo del año pasado. Además, como ya te contamos en Rocktails , el próximo 13 de noviembre The Weeknd lanzará una trilogía que reunirá a sus tres mixtapes de 2011: House of Balloons , Thursday y Echoes of Silence . A continuación te mostramos el  tracklist completo de este material que incluirá también una serie de [...]

The Weeknd will release his major label debut, Trilogy , on November 13th.  Today we get an official video for "Wicked Games", a cut previously off his House of Balloons project.  The video matches the records dark tones and bare sounds, and you can check it below.

With the forthcoming 13 November release of Trilogy release by The Weeknd comes remastered, revisited versions of songs that we've all grown to love. Among them, count this re-upped version of "Wicked Games" , the song which most would agree started it all.

I am still a bit bummed we are going to have to sit through a mixtape re-release before we get that major label debut, but the Weeknd has now exposed us to the 30-track listing from Trilogy . The only listed features are Drake and Juicy J, leading us to believe this is going to be a rather intimate experience with Abel. There are there new recordings included as well included on Trilogy , so all isn't bad. And of course things have been mixed and mastered to the major label standard. Trilogy is set to drop Nov. [...]

    The Weeknd nos presenta el video de "Rolling Stone" rola que apareció en su segundo mixtape Thursday y que será parte de Trilogy,  el release oficial que además de las rolas de los mixtapes, incluirá otras tres completamente nuevas. La calidad sigue siendo espectacular, sin embargo todo el misterio detrás de The Weeknd se ha ido y es una falta importante. Trilogy sale el próximo 26 de noviembre. Enjoy.    

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 [...]

• natalskaa - The Weeknd – Wicked Games (Remastered)

Canadian producer Jeremy "Zodiac" Rose, better known as The Weeknd 's producer who was scrubbed from the production credits , has an EP forthcoming on Jaques Greene 's label, VASE . Rose is responsible for production on The Weeknd’s House of Balloons, specifically on the tracks: What You Need , Loft Music , The Party & The After-Party;  The similarities between The Weeknd's tracks, and Zodiac's upcoming VASE release is definitely a good thing.   Focusing on the EP, Jeremy explains that he draws inspiration from a wide arrangement of sounds- [...]

FADER : The Weeknd's XO imprint inks a deal with Universal Republic. House Of Balloons , Thursday , and Echoes Of Silence will be mixed, mastered and released together under the title Trilogy on November 13th. Unreleased material to be included.

• Danny Brown - Change

The last time that we heard from Zebra Katz was back in January when he dropped his video for "Ima Read" . Just like the sparse and thumping "Ima Read" , "W8WTF" is also barely there and makes way for echoing space and his gradually warping rhymes. The video is reminiscent of the artwork for The Weeknd 's album "House Of Balloons" , which I think I'll go and listen to again. [...]

New doesn't necessarily a better entity make. Wilton's Music Hall, for instance, emphatically branded 'The City's Hidden Stage' and secreted down Aldgate alley is an unfeasibly incredible and therefore equally amazingly underused venue. We'd immediately implore you to get the heck down there with disconcerting insistence, were listings anywhere near as forthcoming as Abel Tesfaye may tonight periodically appear when nudely live; stripped of his beloved bloody Auto-Tune. A petition at its modest entrance pleas for salvage: Wilton lies on his proverbial deathbed and although they that tonight line the balcony (Katy Perry and Florence; Def Jam, Universal and Mercury [...]

The Weeknd performed at Coachella for the first time ever yesterday. All three 2011 releases, House of Balloons , Thursday and Echoes of Silence , from the enigmatic hip hop maestro, Abel Tesfaye, were covered at the festival. The Weeknd is also doing something cooler than most artists by offering the full performance as a free download on The Weeknd's website. Watch the Coachella performance and download the audio below.
