The Weeknd Biography
Origin: Toronto Members: - Abel Tesfaye: vocals - Jeremy Rose: production From the NY Times: ?_r=2&ref=music Another month, another act experimenting with the death impulse. To date the Weekend, from Toronto, has uploaded three songs to YouTube — “What You Need,” “Loft Music” and “The Morning.” Each is a marvel of texture, drawing from the aching moans of screw music and the sexual impulses of early 1990s new jack swing, all buried in a hazy cloud that’s part too-cool affectation, part bleeding-out puddle. The vocals, sometimes sung and sometimes rapped, talk about ugly things in a pretty voice, making for a tone of flashy bohemianism. Drake, the group’s citymate, toys with a similar aesthetic, but the Weekend takes his ambivalent emotional tenor and stretches it out, building a whole worldview from it.
