"In the last six months, The Weeknd has become one of the most reliable hitmakers in pop." - this is how the New York Times recently praised pop phenomenon The Weeknd. Behind the name is the 25-year-old Canadian Abel Tesfaye, who is already being celebrated as the musical role model of a new RnB generation. The Weeknd celebrated his breakthrough with the track "Earned It" from the soundtrack to 50 Shades of Grey (number 3 in the US charts). His new album will be released this fall with the current single "Can't Feel My Face".
