Echoes of Silence - The Weeknd

[Savage]

The Weeknd, Montreal native, released a new album to the internet the other day and it's gotten a lot of attention. Posted below is my favorite song off the album so far. It really shows the power of his voice. So amazing.

Lyrically, Tesfaye remains destructive, angry and utterly fascinating, still waxing poetic about a lonely, intoxicated party life. However, the Weeknd has begun conveying his emotional devastation without resorting to direct, graphic declarations. "Initiation" describes a terrifying scene of drugs and sex but saves its most salacious parts for the listener's imagination, and "The Fall" ("I ain't scared of the fall/ I've felt the ground before," Tesfaye sings on the hook) is desperate without being disgusting. As much as an artist who has put out three full albums in less than a year can possibly mature, Tesfaye's growth as a lyricist has begun to match his production expertise and wildly talented vocal skills.
