I've had a soft spot for The Weeknd's music ever since House of Balloons was first released. After unveiling the name of his upcoming album, Kiss Land, Abel Tesfaye's taken to Twitter to release his single of the same title. Surrounded by hazy production, Abel seems at home yet again, and "Kiss Land" is one of those tracks you'd want to play back a few times to really vibe (though "this ain't nothing to relate to," he sings). The 7:41 track switches up halfway through to allow the Canadian singer some venting...
A true OVOXO fan will argue that no one can ever outdo The Weeknd in the “sexy yet depressed” department. I'll still argue this, but Berlin based-singer Dillon is making it very difficult for me to continue leading this charge for much longer. She recently covered Abel's “Echoes of Silence,” for all of the Internet to see. She, too, has the same sad demeanor, painfully beautiful voice, and mysterious sheen that Abel Tesfaye first cornered in his House of Balloons mixtape days. There isn't much added...
2012 marked a time that was dominated by R&B revival, with artists like Frank Ocean and The Weeknd taking the reigns in transcending a mere novelty to occupy mainstream space. In doing so, the artists managed to niche out an unexplored sub-genre that has recently been referred to as...

First "Valerie," now this second recent release from Abel Tesfaye. I'm not complaining. The Weeknd just unveiled the highly-anticipated visual for "The Zone" featuring Drake. The song was originally featured on his second mixtape, Thursday. Judging by Abel's hair in the flick, we can tell he...
The Weeknd (aka Abel Tesfaye) teased fans with snippets of new reocords that will be on his upcoming Trilogy release. Yesterday, Zane Lowe of BBC Radio 1 premiered Trilogy bonus track "Twenty Eight". Today, the DJ got to unveil yet another newly-recorded bonus cut "Valerie." This one is...
I hope we all can agree there are far too many bad remixes of Drake and The Weeknd to count and too few worth actually remembering. So while it was a bit shortsighted of me, you can't blame me for feeling a little hesitant about giving αtμ's music a listen, especially when I saw remixes of...

Finally after a few videos from past projects, the Toronto crooner The Weeknd's (aka Abel Tesfaye) has release a new record for all his fans to enjoy online. Single titled “Enemy,” that is embodied with that experimental Weeknd ambiance with seductive lyrics. This new song does not appear...
