Hij is er weer, het jaarlijkse BBC-lijstje met tips voor het komende jaar. Elk jaar tippen de BBC-DJ's welke artiest er volgens hen het komende jaar gaat doorbreken. Vaak hebben ze het bij het juiste eind (self-fulfilling prophecy: juist doordat een artiest op deze lijst staat is de kans op doorbreken groter), maar soms blijkt het toch niet zo'n goede voorspelling te zijn. Hoewel voorgaande winnaars als 50 Cent, Keane, Mika en Adele al flink wat schaapjes op hun droge hebben. Dit jaar staan er maar twee namen op de lijst die me iets zeggen. De een, Kodaline, [...]
"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 [...]
It's pretty unanimous that few things get more fly than Ellie Goulding's rendition of The Weeknd's "High For This". kthx flips Xaphoon Jones savvy boardwork with all of the vaporous chill that it deserves. Dim the lights cos shit is about to get seriously heavy. Ellie Goulding - High For This (kthx Remix) kthx ( Facebook ) Rating 8.39835
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 [...]
High For This - Ellie Goulding - The Weeknd Cover - Prod by Xaphoon Jones - Click to download. Ellie offers up this great cover of The Weeknd’s “High for This” produced by Xaphoon Jones. It’s a jammer. Dig.
One thing I can safely say is that The Weeknd was higher than Ellie Goulding when creating the original "High For This". It doesn't matter too much though, as Goulding has linked up with Xaphoon Jones for a dope cover of The Weeknd's "High For This". Xaphoon's production is less haunting than the original's, but complimentes Goulding's voice very well. Listen to the rework below. Ellie Goulding & Xaphoon Jones: "High For This"
Ellie Goulding's newest single is a cover of one of our favorite Canadian artists the Weeknd. High For This was originally released off of the Weeknd's first mixtape House of Balloons which came out in March 2011. Although the re-make is a little awkwardly timed (the song has already been out for 14 months), the british indie star does not disappoint and offers a fantastic rendition of an already amazing track.

Aos saudosos da inglesinha Ellie Goulding , ela ainda não voltou com nenhum material inédito de sua autoria, mas disponibilizou um ótimo cover da música High for This , do The Weeknd . Produzida por Xaphoon Jones , do duo de hip hop Chiddy Bang , a faixa ganhou uma atmosfera toda sexy com a batida suave e os vocais delicados de Ellie. Não percebemos nenhuma influência do namorado Skrillex por aqui.
A Xaphoon Jones production? Ellie Goulding doing a cover of The Weekend? Trying to think of a better way to start out the day...coming up empty. This is a signature Xaphoon beat - mastering the hazy, glitchy vibe that he's so great at capturing on a track. It's been a minute since we've heard anything from Ellie, as she's been shacked up recording her new album (and dating Skrillex.) If you've been missing her, she puts her vocal range on full display for you here. I can work with a Xaphoon and Ellie collaboration any day of the week, that's [...]
Ellie Goulding is out with a new sultry cover of The Weeknd 's "High for This," produced by none other than the ever-Breakfasty Xaphoon Jones . It's a four minute slow jam that infuses the atmospheric effects of the original with Ellie's signature britpop sound. Xaphoon adds some of his handiwork, overlaying trickling vocals that manage to be simultaneously minimalist yet subtly complex. Ellie doesn't toss in any dub step beats in her version, instead creating an aesthetic that makes you want to sit back, relax and take in the sound. MP3: Ellie [...]
I first introduced my liking to Ellie a few days ago with her viral radio smash "Lights." Apparently this young lady has been topping charts for a few years now and I was a tad late to the show. Well, I will be late no more!! Check out this new track Ellie dropped featuring a cover of The Weeknd's "High For This" off House of Balloons . Ellie even enlisted Xaphoon Jones for production to give this a sound dark enough to be compared to the original but slightly brighter to fit Ellie's style. All around dope. Im sure [...]
What a good cover. Ellie Goulding is my guilty pleasure. Produced by Xaphoon Jones (half of Chiddy Bang), the two have really done The Weeknd prond with this cover. Ellie Goulding - High For This (The Weeknd Cover)
It’s a rare case to get a dream collab on a cover. At 2:30 this morning, it came true. World sensation Ellie Goulding tackles The Weeknd’s “High For This”. That would be amazing enough, but Xaphoon Jones completely reworks the beat for the pop princess to work off of. It goes without saying, this is as awesome as a cover as you can get. While it’s getting a bit annoying hearing “Lights” on Top 40 radio, this reaffirms all my faith in this beauty. Source

Brand new from Ellie Goulding comes a stirring Xaphoon Jones -produced cover of The Weeknd 's "High For This". Yep.
Back in September, Melvin Saul Sheik posted this video on Vimeo. Five months and 35 views later, he leaves us perplexed. Is this man actually dead? Was this a cry for help? There's been no activity since September 11, 2011. Illuminati? What..the..fuck? Thank you for the pills, Dr. W. I love you.
Wow. It takes a lot of skill (and balls) to successfully remix The Weeknd . Mainly because I think the music is already flawless. But this bootleg is actually very very good. Props to Half & Half Records and the team that put this together. Follow me @OceanPdestrians . mp3: The Weeknd - High For This (Sibian & Faun Bootleg)
No.5 THE WEEKND - HOUSE OF BALLOONS DOWNLOAD | LOOK | METACRITIC One of the more intriguing introductions of this year came courtesy of The Weeknd. Shrouded in secrecy and delivered by a then faceless young man, House of Balloons was put up for free download from their website back in March. With a leg-up from Drake in the meantime the mask has slightly dropped since then - we now know that The Weeknd is the work of 21-year-old Abel Tesfaye - however, the music is [...]
Abel Tesfaye is the real name of the 21 year old Toronto-based R&B singer The Weeknd. His song “High for This” (below) is the promo tune for the final season of Entourage. In late 2010, The Weeknd uploaded three songs, “What You Need,” “Loft Music,” and “The Morning” to YouTube. In 2011, he digitally released a nine-track album titled House of Balloons ( download here ) through his official website and he blew up. Drake has been partly credited for generating public awareness for him, after Drake quoted a line from the [...]
