The 29-year-old singer is now coming off the heels of the release of My Dear Melancholy in 2018. He even enlisted the talents of Lana Del Rey for his 2016 album, Starboy, a project that boasted chart-topping songs, like the infamous “I Feel It Coming.” He went on to collaborate with artists like Beyonce, Travis Scott, and Future. Tracks like “Can’t Feel My Face” and “Earned It,” the latter of which found great success in the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack, earned him millions of streams.įrom that point on, The Weeknd became an undeniable star. Two years passed before he released his sophomore album, Beauty Behind The Madness, a commercial success that included features from Ed Sheeran and Lana Del Rey. In 2012, Abel embarked on his first tour of the United States, and began work on his debut studio album, Kiss Land.
Following the release of the mixtapes, the Weeknd amassed a level of fame that no longer merited anonymity. After adopting the pseudonym the Weeknd, he dropped three mixtapes- House of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes of Silence-which collectively became known as Trilogy, an album that put him on the map. Abel Makkonen Tesfaye was once an anonymous figure.
