When I watched theĀ MTV Video Music AwardsĀ on Monday night, it was the first time I’d seenĀ The WeekndĀ perform, and oh how I fell in love! The Weeknd,Ā real nameĀ Abel Tesfaye, has a soulful sound thatĀ reminded me of the late, great Michael Jackson – an opinion I’ve learnt many others feel too. Performing his newest song,Ā Can’t Feel My Face,Ā I now understand what the hype is all about, because The Weeknd is pretty damn good! I really adore his vocal tone &Ā abilities, and the beat of this song is funky but still very chill. In the music videoĀ it shows that he is also quite the dancer. Since listening to his live performance at the VMAs, I’ve taken toĀ TidalĀ to listen to more of his music and am very much enjoying this artist. I also had heard Ellie Goulding’s cover ofĀ High For This,Ā and am surprised at myself for not listening to the original before now.
