...INTRODUCING TWIGS!

If Abel Tesfaye better known as The Weeknd and Claire Boucher aka Grimes had a love child it would be Twigs. Im so into this right now and I don't really know who she is and is pretty much a mystery at this point! The beat in Hide is simply nasty if you turn up the bass; Ache is dance’able and more in your face. Sexy just the way we like it. Thanks to Cate Underwood for the heads up!

[LISTEN UP] THE WEEKND - ECHOES OF SILENCE

The Weeknd returned a few days ago with Echoes of Silence the third part of this year’s free mixtape trilogy, and as expected, it expands outward from the signature warped, drugged-out chic sound we’ve come to know the project for. Abel Tesfaye aka The Weeknd also tweeted "Can't wait to re-release The Trilogy as a package, re-mastered for you to collect with bonus features... #2012,". As we wait for that to happen you can DWLD the 3rd and final digital album HERE.
