The Weeknd, it's "What You Need"

Many people are confused on the point Abel Tesfaye is trying to make with the omission of the “e” in his artist name “The Weeknd” and creepy album art. Even with the missing vowel The Weeknd’s music has a smooth groove to it that you would only find at a party lasting until the early morning in a loft somewhere in New York City. Vocalist Abel Tesfaye out of Toronto, Canada has received the likes of Drake and are currently working on a much anticipated project together. The Weeknd’s latest album “House of Balloons” is a creative drug infested party album with samples of techno and house beats and similarities to the also popular Frank Ocean. Tesfaye possesses a smooth R&B voice that leaves everyone forgetting about The-Dream and frankly, blows Frank Ocean out of competition. Out of nowhere, he has established himself as the newest, freshest voice in R&B, with promotion assistance from Drake.  Early rumors speculated that Drake’s main producer, Noah “40” Shebib, also produced The Weeknd, but that was found out to be false. Although there isn’t any word on the next release from The Weeknd “The House of Balloons” is enough to get us through the crazy summer nights.
