The Weeknd surprised fans over the weekend when he dropped an unexpected EP, ‘My Dear Melancholy.’
The six song set, highlighted by production from the likes of Mike WILL Made-It, Skrillex, Frank Dukes, and more while only boasting one feature courtesy of French DJ Gesaffelstein, quickly shot to the top of digital sales tallies (where it currently sits as of time reported). And, with all chart placement factors considered – sales & streaming – the project has been predicted to easily top the Billboard 200 as well (click here to read more on that).
In a bid to ensure a lengthy distance between himself and his nearest competitor, the 3-time Grammy winner has teamed with Spotify to exclusively offer the mixtape’s first two videos – ‘Call My Name’ & ‘Try Me.’ See them both inside:

He’s a great vocalist!!
I hope that was a joke!
Still think DIE FOR YOU was huge but they did NOT give it the treatment it deserved. He bores live, he needs a new look to match his epic music……a new dark look— and cut that 1980’s hair and try something different…… i hate to admit it buy that NAPPY dread on his head was a look……
