Since The Weeknd stepped on the scene in 2011, he’s delivered three critically-acclaimed digital pieces. On his major label debut, Trilogy, he reintroduces himself to the masses by re-releasing them all together commercially and adding three new tracks to close out each chapter. Abel pre-games his nightly affairs on Houses of Balloons before diving into the piano-driven first offering “Twenty Eight”. As Thursday arrives, the love tale continues (“The Birds Part 1 & Part 2″) before he finally professes his heart on the standout, “Valerie”. Echoes Of Silence hits the speakers to close things out. From the impressive ”Dirty Diana” cover on the opener “D.D.” to the deceitful “Till Dawn (Here Comes The Sun)”, Weeknd holds your attention for the emotional two and a half hour ride. And you can’t argue with the results. Since its release in November, Trilogy has already struck gold. Guess the best things in life really do come in threes.
