THE WEEKND - ECHOES OF SILENCE

Ever since he first appeared in 2011 with his three independent online offerings House of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes of Silence, which subsequently turned into the chart-topping platinum-selling 2012 epic, Trilogy, Toronto alternative R&B mystic Abel Tesfaye aka The Weeknd has become one of the go-to voices in music. Everyone from Wiz Khalifa to Juicy J has enlisted his talents for singles. Meanwhile, he became a live draw, joining both early champion Drake and Florence + the Machine for full tours. Now, Echoes Of Silence, part three of the Grammy-nominated trendsetter's critically acclaimed Trilogy series makes its official vinyl debut in 2015. A longlisted nominee for the 2012 Polaris Music Prize, the 9-track set featurues production from Illangelo, Clams Casino and DropxLife and is home to the essential cuts "D.D." (a cover of Michael Jackson's "Dirty Diana") “XO/The Host” and “Initiation.”
