After absolutely fucking ages of waiting, Abel Tesfaye, otherwise known as The Weeknd, has finally finally dropped his second mixtape "Thursday". Though I was convinced he would indeed release on a Thursday, which I was damn right about, I was off on the date by months. He's spent weeks and weeks teasing us through his various social networking accounts, in which we saw him preview two tracks off this album which were both proper super. The mixtape features 9 tracks unsurprisingly including a collab tune with Drake "The Zone". It's been widely known that the two of them have been pretty tight lately, working together on each other's material, in the pursuit of creating a new movement - a movement which I believe is already running on full gas, and one that excites me as the next generation of R&B.
This mixtape is the second of The Weeknd's suspected trilogy of work, with the next one to be called "Echoes of Silence". And I'm already buzzing to hear that too. His voice is one thing, but the production of these new wave of sound is excellent. I assume more things similar will be available first in the shape of Drake's next album "Take Care" set for an October 24th release. "Thursday" is up for download here and on his website in the hope of just sending his message and sharing his music, it's free.
It's not Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or indeed Friday that people are going to be talking about now. We have a new favourite day of the week. Oh and the weekend too of course.
