The Weeknd - Superhero x Cure

Two previously unreleased tracks from Toronto R&B artist The Weeknd have been resurfaced. All the way from the vaults of 2009, these tracks don't have the traditional sound we're used to hearing from Abel, but they at least show where he's come from and how much his sound has developed.

It seems that the mystery behind the artist known as The Weeknd has begun to fade. This marks Abel's first official music video from either of his first two projects. Hopefully this will mean more visuals from the Toronto-based R&B artist in the near future.

Abel just let this one go via Faceplace. This track serves as a bonus for the deluxe version of  Take Care. Forget Drake and Ross, these two should just go ahead and put their own collaborative project out. "Crew Love" has been my shit.

Sunday's are usually very slow in the new music department, but it seems like that's not true in Drake's world. Three new tracks from his sophomore release, Take Care, have gone public one way or another just about one week before it's November 15th release. The first track, that features Rick Ross, was produced by Just Blaze, while the other two tracks include features from Rihanna and The Weeknd.

My mistake for posting this on a Friday, but the follow up to the Toronto R&B artist's well-respected House Of Balloons mixtape is now available. This new project, titled Thursday, brings us the same smooth sound as the previous one with an added feature from Drake on "The Zone". Hit the jump to stream and download.

This track could quite possible be from The Weeknd's upcoming Thursday project. But, with the mystery behind this guy, does anybody honestly know?

Even with recent information leaking and the release of some of his older tracks (including a Drake demo), The Weeknd still remains a mystery man to many. That is, until he performs at the upcoming OVO Festival in Toronto alongside Drake and Rick Ross. This track could be from his upcoming Thursday project.

I'm surprised it took this long for a rapper to put some bars over a track from The Weeknd's House Of Balloons mixtape.

Be careful kids. This video is NSFW. Kinda.

Ever since Drake gave The Weeknd a huge co-sign and HouseOfBalloons dropped, everyone has been asking the same question: Who is The Weeknd? Well, the folks at Complex have been digging around for a bit of info on this Canadian artist with a futuristic R&B style and came up with an article. Hit the picture to read.
