After teasing it at festivals nationwide, The Weeknd finally lets loose his new banger
The Weeknd‘s mainstream career got off to a sputtering start, but in 2015, he’s hit his stride in marvelous fashion. Riding off the success of “Often,” the non-album single he dropped last year that bowed out at #6 on the R&B charts, Abel is firing on all cylinders. His collaboration with Ariana Grande, “Love Me Harder,” landed in the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 (#7), and the original song he penned for the blockbuster 50 Shades of Grey movie, “Earned It,” peaked at #3, making it his biggest hit to date.
Over the past couple months, Weeknd has teased a new record, dubbed “Mood Music” by some of his ravenous fans on Twitter, and performed it on two of music’s biggest festival stages: SxSW and Coachella. After revealing the official title of the song on Twitter last week, Weeknd has finally officially dropped the record, with a music video to boot. Check out the calamity-filled video for “The Hills” above.
