The Weeknd!

[belalala]

don't prefer any weeknd remix over the original tbh.

[mchrysler]

glass table girls is too good

[exfox]

thanks for this thread as it convinced me to check him out, and he's great indeed. the party & the after party is one perfect track!

Bump since that new mixtape came out recently and it's rather spiffing. Better than the first one I'd say.

This in particular is making me happy:

have to disagree, much preferred the focus on beats in 'house of balloons' over lyricism on 'thursday'...

still slapping the birds part I & II though, big tunes.

[muntz]

Yeah really only feeling the Birds part I & II off the new mixtape. No where nearly as cohesive as the first imo but that would have been a hard debut to beat.

[fractal]

Really good!

[Sexual_Chocolate]

only tune from the new mixtape im really feeling is The Zone

although, as a whole, its not bad, no real progression but eh, i still listen to it haha

[vincent 2 fly]

Overrated.

[abs]

The first tune, the zone, and the birds part 1 are all pretty good.

other than that it's pretty shit, but then i only really liked 4 tunes from house of balloons so yeah.

more hyped for the new drake album really.

[pulkpull]

more hyped for the new drake album really.

Am I right in thinking this is, at least in part, being produced by Jamie xx?

[abs]

i've not read or heard that, and i based on what i've heard from his new album i wouldn't have thought so? but who knows, it'd be cool if he was

The Weeknd may be a lot of things, but all we know for sure is that he’s 1) unfit for mainstream, 2) one-of-a-kind, and 3) a monstrous tease.

[Sykotic]

thursday ep was shit. if he releases an ep of dark tunes like initiation that would be sick

Pretty much this, Thursday only had a handful of good tunes. Rinsed the fuck out of House of Balloons and Initiation is (I'm going to say it) the best track yet. I really hope this actual dark vibe continues on the next album/tape.

Rumors are that it's out on the 24th, Drakes original album release date before it was delayed

I loved Thursday. Not as good as House of Balloons, but I think people are being a bit harsh on it. Initiation bodes well for the new album though
