Artist of the Week : The Weeknd
Toronto
native Abel Tesfaye, aka The Weeknd first caught attention in 2011 by posting on
the web a debut album House of Balloons in which he remixed in a personal way classic
pop-rock hits. Eclectic musician although mostly influenced by both hip-hop and
R’n’B overtones, he played in his first concert in London, June 2012 during which
he performed a strong rendition of famous Michael Jackson's Dirty Diana. He
then signed with Universal and released a 3 CDs compilation soon followed by a
studio album named Kissland in which performed American rapper Drake.
Initially
rather shared, critics have recognized the restless and crepuscular universe of
The Weeknd and the way his highly emotional voice has an ability to set up a
forlorn and anxious scenery. After having duetting with Ariana Grande
in Love Me Harder, he has just signed the amazing ballad Earned It for the
upcoming movie Fifty Shades of Gray's soundtrack that will certainly have a big
impact. A pure jewel in any case we don’t get tired to play over and over.
