The Weeknd

My latest inspiration in music is young, fresh and deep artist whose name is "The Weeknd". His real name is Abel Tesfaye (born February 16, 1990). He is Canadian RnB recording artist and producer of Ethiopian descent from Toronto. The Weeknd released his first nine-songs album House of Balloons and it was met with universal critical acclaim. As Joe Colly wrote, "all the thematic and sonic pieces fit together - these weird, morning-after tales of lust, hurt, and over-indulgence ... are matched by this incredibly lush, downcast music. It's hard to think of a record since probably The xx's debut ... that so fully embodies such a specific nocturnal quality." 
His music is heartfelt, touching and sounds differently... can't stop listening to it... I often use The Weeknd's music on my Hip-Hop, L.A and even contemporary classes. On my opinion the best choreography made on The Weeknd's song "Next" (which is one of my fav) is that by Quick Crew. Ohhh.... these guys transfer emotions and feeling of this song in such a strong way! 
Enjoy!
