Sound the alarm! The Weeknd has dropped another nugget for his fans. His second studio album, "Beauty Behind the Madness" is almost here, 9 days and counting!
However, the Canadian born crooner has been nice enough to drop a few gems now and again for his loyal followers. First he let fans hear the dark R&B hit "The Hills" followed by the release of the funky Michael Jackson-esque sounding track, "Can't Feel My Face." Now he has gifted fans a third glimpse of his highly anticipated LP. In all its glory a 15-second clip caught on a cell phone unveils the collabo between Abel Tesfaye and of "All Day" rapper Kanye West, titled "Tell You're Friends."
During a performance in Las Vegas on Tuesday, Aug. 18, the ethereal-voiced crooner debuted the track to fans. For everyone who was not there, Travi$ Scott was nice enough to capture it all on video and share it via social media.
In a post on Instagram, Scott writes "New weeknd prod by kanye Tell ur friends." Looks like everyone sure did. The clip has already garnered over 20,000 likes and 2500 comments. In the short, but sweet clip, one can hear The Weeknd's distinct voice over an R&B rhythm and ecstatic screams from the audience.
August appears to be coming an exciting month for the mysterious R&B artist, as he just covered GQ Magazine and modeled head-to-toe Yeezy gear in the GQ fashion spread. On the topic of Kanye and the Yeezy collection, the Toronto native said, "I really felt like he targeted someone like me. The camo, the army look, the black boots, the nonchalant kind of vagrant look. I relate to it. It relates to my story. Kanye is such a great friend of mine as well, when he asked me I couldn't say no. It was the least I could do."
How precious. What else are those two hiding? At least fans know they will get to hear the entire cut of "Tell Your Friends" when The Weeknd's "Beauty Behind the Madness" hit stores Aug. 28. The album is rumored to feature appearances from Ed Sheeran, Labrinth, and Lana Del Rey. In addition, the 14-track LP will contain the hit song "Earned It" from the "Fifty Shades of Grey: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack." Ah, remember only 9 days and counting!
