Though his star continues to rise, he's remained an enigmatic figure who avoids magazine and TV interviews. Hard to believe that his 2013 album, Kiss Land, was just his second. The Weeknd seems a natural onstage, even when the stages he's playing are huge. Fans consistently give Tesfaye kudos for the quality and depth of his live vocals. On tour, Tesfaye re-creates his recorded music with some live backing musicians' help and usually can be counted on to bring an eye-popping light show. His slow grooves and falsetto croon create a beautiful and sometimes creepy backdrop for what are often sexually-charged lyrics. The Weeknd's sound has been described as hipster R&B (or PBR&B to some), and his tracks have sampled a huge range of artists from indie-rockers Beach House to R&B megastar Rihanna. The three mixtapes eventually became the first Weeknd album, 2011's Trilogy. In the midst of the critical kudos, he made his first concert performances, including collaborations with Drake. The Weeknd followed up the next year with three mixtapes - House of Balloons, Thursday, and Echos of Silence- that served to ramp up his profile further.
Before the year was out, the songs were getting great write-ups on the music-hipster bible Pitchfork and in The New York Times. The tracks eventually got the attention of fellow Toronto artist Drake, who linked to the songs via his blog. “I don’t criticise,” he adds, leaving a pause to give himself a pat on the back.Abel Tesfaye, who performs under the moniker The Weeknd, emerged shrouded in mystery in 2012, when he uploaded three tracks to YouTube that picked up near-immediate buzz - despite the fact that nothing was known about the artist who posted them. “Where are you now when I need you most?” he mopes on the title track, while on slow-burn opener Alone Again you can imagine him padding mournfully around his apartment as he sighs: “I don’t know if I can be alone again.” Unfortunately, this being a Weeknd album, there are still moments of misogyny, specifically on the bloated Heartless, which seems like self-parody, and the risible, nearly six-minute epic Escape from LA, in which he details having very boring-sounding sex in a studio with women who have all had the “same work done on their face”. Even when he’s apologising or looking for reconciliation, however, it’s always to serve him and him alone. The featherlight, Limahl-esque Save Your Tears, meanwhile, offers up a hint of self-reflection. On the widescreen expanse of the excellent Faith he croons, “thought I’d be a better man but I lied to me and you” in his best choirboy voice. The album opens with a suite of songs that show a scintilla of remorse for failed relationships that never seemed to make it beyond the bedroom. Lyrically, he ventures into new territory too, albeit briefly. Just as those early mixtapes were buffeted by blog-friendly samples from the likes of Beach House and Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Phil Collins-esque ballad Scared to Live soars over a hilarious sample from Elton John’s Your Song, while new single In Your Eyes struts around a refreshingly uncool sax solo. Rather than sticking out like a sore thumb, the glorious 80s synthpop explosion of lead single Blinding Lights – No 1 in the UK for five of the last six weeks – blends in nicely with the album’s nostalgic palette of shape-shifting synth workouts, tactile minimalism and (on Too Late and Hardest to Love), splashes of drum’n’bass and UK garage. The agile After Hours might be his best attempt yet at fusing the two.
