The Weeknd: Canadian R&B singer Abel Tesfaye is a one-man after after after hours. Smooth as milk laced with ecstacy, Tesfaye’s project The Weeknd is a velvety tongue in your ear with its powerfully hypnotic quality and incredibly sexy lyrics. But that mouth has teeth as well, mixing in subtle electronic elements and sudden breakdowns. It’s unimaginable that such disarming music could come from a 22-year-old, who came to prominence releasing mixtapes on YouTube. But finally, now you’ve got completely appropriate bedroom music that doesn’t make you roll your eyes.
