    Only started listening to him since i heard him and drake are mates.

    weeknd has that chilled out vibe in his music, so good.

    Any specific tracks you both can recommend?

    While his latest album may be good, Drake seriously annoys me. He's got a great ear for music though.

    All three Weeknd mixtapes are fantastic. Some tracks that jump to mind: The Birds, Thursday, High for This, House of Balloons, The Knowing, Initiation.

    I liked him a lot till I found out he screwed his old producer over...the guy that stopped the weekend from going down the whole rnb/dance path. I think it's a shame that no one knows that without him the weeknd would be another failed act...

    Thursday, What you need, Initiation (this is my personal favourite) and his cover of dirty diana :ahee:.. all his songs are good though and so its worth listening to all three mixtapes.

    lol

    Proud listener since the week after his first mixtape (HoB) dropped

    Hipster me haha :P

    But yeah, HoB 10/10, Thursday 6/10, Echoes of Silence 8.5/10

    Seeing him this July at Hyde Park, can't wait. Although he wasn't great live at Coachella. He suits small venues better, like his first concert at The Mod Club in his native Toronto.

    He has never played a UK show before. He is Canadian, hence done a few there. Went on a mini-tour of the US recently and I think they were fairly intimate shows. He also did Coachella, which is a huge field festival set up.

    The Weeknd is brilliant!

    Not a fan of the newest mixtape, tbh. House of Balloons > Thursday > Echoes of Silence.

    If you want songs, the first mixtape is fully amazing. Instead of being able to pick out a few songs, I recommend just listening to the full mixtape as every song is good.
