Introducing: The Weeknd



Canadian Singer The Weekend will, no doubt be making his mark in 2013 with his unique contemporary sounding R&B. Following his critically acclaimed nine track EP, House of Balloons, released in 2010, the 22  year old singer went on to feature on Drake's 2011 song "Crew Love". Since then, he has been steadily garnering interest throughout the year. He has appeared on Later with Jools Holland and he performed a sold out secret gig in London earlier this month.The combination of his haunting vocals and his poetically stark lyrics creates a magnetizing aura of eeire, stylish cool. Having been nominated for the BBC Sound of 2013 and dubbed by MTV as "the best musical talent since Michael Jackson",  The Weekend has received some mighty praise and is definitely one artist to look out for in the coming year. His album The Trilogy is out now.
