Drake and Weeknd made a hit in the studio recently. My guess is Drake wanted to squash all rumors of himself and Weeknd in a conflict. Live For is another hand out from Drake and seems to lightly respark Weeknd's buzz. OVOXO

The Weeknd Live @ FONDA Theatre 5.6.12 [Watch]
After seeing Abel aka The Weeknd perform at Coachella a few weeks back, I thought his performance would have been a career ender, but I gave him that second chance to redeem himself at his solo show in Los Angeles over the weekend. He not only redeemed himself, but went above and beyond any expectations or doubts I had about him in my mind. The Fonda Theatre was overcapacity Sunday May 6, 2012 for none other than the man himself, Abel Tesfaye. With the industries biggest names in the crowd, such as music vets Rick Rubin and Pharrell Williams, there was no room for errors. A slew of records were played from opening the show with the classic High For This to Drake's heavily covered Trust Issues. Not to mention Weeknd closing out the night with a raw rap performance of Glass Table Girls. This is one of the greatest shows I have been to in a very long time, besides Radiohead at Coachella. The House Of Balloons Tour is not something to sleep on. Unfortunately if you don't have tickets already then you have been sleeping. Check out a couple videos below of the Weeknd molesting the crowd with his song & dance. #nextinshow.

Echoes Of Silence *Review'd*
His third mixtape may be more experimental and different than his previous two. On Twitter, Abel stated, "I hope they don't hang me for my decisions on Echoes of Silence"
D.D begins with smooth harmonies and a high pitched sample in the background. Nobody could ever begin to prepare for what comes next. A different Weeknd approaches the mic and immediately resembles a young Mike Jack. Sure enough by the chorus we come to find out that D.D stands for none other than Dirty Diana, a Michael Jackson classic. The Weeknd suprisingly accomplishes his portrayal of the late Michael. Amazing way to start off your record kid.
Next song, Montreal opens with more homeade harmonies from Abel. The drums hit and a filtered sounding Weeknd sings about what Montreal means to him. This headbanger get's you moving either in the bedroom or on the dance floor. One way or another it's going down, basement. Interesting sounds make up the next track. Almost like an 80's kung fu movie. Mandolin plucks and flutes make up the beat accompanied by the modern sounds of The Weeknd's drum kit.
Outside has Abel almost crying about a woman in his life. I believe he started the emo grunge sound last year when he released House Of Balloons. Nobody knew what to do with it, but listen and love it.
XO / The Host is my favorite track up to this point. I'm sensing a mixture of sounds from his previous tracks, The Zone and Loft Music from House Of Balloons. Throughout the song Abel sing-raps about the infamous XO that their crew reps. XO interludes by slowing up the beat and transitioning into The Host, which is The Weeknd.
Initiation was leaked by Abel himself a couple months ago. Still such a dope experimental track. Interesting how they engineered the pitch to frequently go up and down. The lyrics depict his more private sessions with girls I think.
Same Old Song is not the same old sound. Again they include some sort of mandolin plucking sound. It really goes nice with the album. There is honestly nothing bad I could say about this album. In less than a yearThe Weeknd managed to complete 3 hall of fame records to begin his career and end 2011. Here's a clue about the song. The same old song means the same old girl. ;)
The Fall begins with The Weeknd's signature adlibs. He borrows influence from Drake periodically, vise versa though. Mid song you sense this when he raps. "my cup full of Texas, flowin' on that OVO jet yeah I said it, was forced to be reckless was forced to make records so you don't gotta ask who's next." Abel get's cocky with it, and shows why he is #1 in R&B, Indie, Emo-Pop, and any other genre you can think of. Ok now I myself am getting carried away. The producer flips the beat a bit at the end of the song.
Echoes Of Silence blends well with the previous track. The song has been stripped down to just a piano and his 'emocals'(trademarked). This could be a personal message to a special woman in his life or maybe for all women in general.
Thus concludes the three-part trip that is TheWeeknd 2011. This album is amazing and can't wait to hear what you have in store for everyone in 2012. End of the World Music?

The Weeknd Releases Echoes Of Silence
First came, House Of Balloons, then Thursday released. Now Echoes of Silence is the third installment from The Weeknd. Less than a year ago, Abel aka The Weeknd surfaced onto the scene by mysteriously releasing a body of work to the internet. The album was released through new found friend, Drake's official blog, and the rest is history. The Weeknd is missing from the Freshman List of 2011 and 2012. In reality he has already surpassed the title of freshman and graduates with this album Echoes Of Silence.
