Africa has produced another talent in the rank of Red One(Morocco) and Akon(Senegal). Abel Tesfaye (born February 16, 1990), better known by his stage name "The Weeknd" (prounounced The Weakened) is an Ethiopian Canadian singer. Songs recorded under The Weeknd name first leaked in late 2010, though the identity of the individual behind the project was initially unknown. The Weeknd released a nine-song mixtape, House of Balloons, on 21 March 2011. The mixtape is a part of a trilogy which includes Thursday, released on 18 August 2011, and Echoes of Silence, to be released in the autumn. The song "High for This" was featured in the promo for the final season of the HBO show Entourage. On June 16, 2011, House of Balloons was named as a longlisted nominee for the 2011 Polaris Music Prize.

The Weeknd was recently commissioned by Florence & The Machine to remix their single "Shake It Out" off their album Ceremonials.[16] Tesfaye released a new track entitled Initiation, on October 8, 2011 which will appear on Echoes Of Silence. [17] His third mixtape may be more experimental and different then his previous two. On twitter, Abel stated "I hope they don't hang me for my decisions on Echoes of Silence" [18]

Illangelo announced The Weeknd "has been tapped to contribute a remix of one of Lady Gaga's Born This Way hits to her forthcoming 14-track collection, Born This Way: The Remix due out November 21." [19]On November 2 a remix called 'The Weeknd & Illangelo Remix' of her single "Marry the Night" was released on the internet.[20]

He was featured on the Track "Crew Love" from Drake's album Take Care. He was credited for writing on five songs of the same album ("Shot for Me", "Crew Love", "Cameras", "Practice" and "The Ride"

still waiting for this talent to blow.

Been ages this thread was opened. The Weeknd has finally blown.

he was on sia elastic heart remix...my ringtone

This dudes voice is heavenly. Best voice I have heard for years.

''I only call you when it's half past 5
the only time that I could be by your side
I only love it when you touch me not feel me
when I'm fucke.d up that's the real me
when I'm fucke.d up that's the real me''

Genius lyrics
