Abel Tesfaye's first album proper was released to a muted reception and middling sales.

Kiss Land (2013) Kiss Land is not without its charms, among them the seven-minute , two -part title track.

Tell Your Friends ( 2015 ) is a ballad that ruminates on fame in equivocal terms.

Starboy (ft Daft Punk) was written in 30 minutes and sold 11 m copies in the US .

The Hills was the Weeknd returning to the style that had made his name.

I Feel It Coming channels the spirit of Off the Wall-era Michael Jackson over a slowed-down take on the super-smooth disco sound the French duo had pursued.

The Hills is sharper, bigger, more striking without losing any of the unsettling power that drew people to it in the first place.
