Best Mixes of the Week

Alright, yo, let’s get this weekend rollinnnn. It’s been a solid week for remixes and I’m ready to get y’all booties poppin’ this Friday’s eve. To start off right, we’ll start things smoothly, with a hit that will undoubtedly remind you of that girl/guy you wanted to get with so desperately and fortunately enough were [...]

Wiz Khalifa – “Remember You” (Ft. The Weeknd) [Music Video]

While it isn’t out of the ordinary for a Weeknd-featuring music video to be extremely odd, it’s exceptionally interesting to see how his macabre spirit can be like a Midas touch to those around him. Wiz Khalifa‘s latest music video, the visuals for his Weeknd-featuring “Remember You,” is certainly something out of left field. The [...]

Recap: The Weeknd

Abel Tesfaye: the apparition; the gloomy and macabre coming of age story that began to unfold across the blogosphere on March 21st, 2011; the 22-year-old godless spirit that hails from the north (that’s Canada for our overseas readers); but, most importantly, The Weeknd, a game-changing, candid R&B singer with a personality and aesthetic that could [...]

The Peak – Week 8

This is your weekly Peak; the saddest time and place of the week. When you’re ready to relax, wind down, and reflect back on your crappy life, this is the place to be. I, Holmes, will be walking you through the punishment of understanding that even the most ostensibly permanent pleasures are fleeting in nature. [...]

Ellie Goulding – “High For This” (Prod. Xaphoon Jones)

“Hold tight for this ride / We don’t need no protection.” Reworked by Chiddy Bang‘s very own Xaphoon Jones, and covered by Britain’s very own Ellie Goulding. The aftermath: a breath of fresh air. Although paying homage to the original, with a ghoulish, shopworn vocal performance, the track definitely verges off the beaten path. For [...]

Coachella 2012: The Weeknd [Full Performance]

One of the most interesting points of the performance: realizing that Abel Tesfaye has a remarkably low voice for a singer with such a high-octave coo. If you missed the performance, you can stream the entire thing from here! Enjoy–I certainly did.                           [...]

Usher – “Climax” (Prod. Diplo)

I hate to say that I love this, but I do. After recently realizing his club-oriented career has been less than wonderful, and having cried about it for a few days, Usher picked up the phone, called his buddy Diplo, and put this together: a more thoughtful, explicit, dark, and electro-infused R&B composite very much like [...]

Anti-Love Songs for Single Awareness Day

Happy Single Awareness Day! If you’re looking for some songs to get out your frustration, dodge sappy couples, or just bob your head to, here’s a short list of anti-love songs. The songs are presented in no particular order. If you’d rather hear some love songs, check out our other list. 1. “Forget You” – [...]

Drake – “Crew Love (Shlohmo Remix)” (Ft. The Weeknd)

The Weeknd just updated his twitter with a link to his Tumblr and a short message that reads, “download shlohmo‘s amazing remix to crew love…”– so here it is, hot off the press. The song carries itself in a more languid manner, and with slow-mo vocals that make you feel like you’ve taken one-shot-to-many, you’ll [...]

Chandler Strang of Saskatchewan Speaks [Interview]

After writing an article on Saskatchewan’s cover of “The Morning” by The Weeknd, we here at Homeless Tracks contacted Chandler Strang, lead singer of Saskatchewan about a possible interview. He graciously agreed. Here is the transcript of that interview, completely unedited. The original article can be found here. 1. How did Saskatchewan form? Were you all friends before [...]

Saskatchewan – “The Morning” (The Weeknd Cover)

If you’re going to cover The Weeknd, you better do a bangin’ ass job, because otherwise it’s not even worth listening to. Abel Tesfaye, otherwise known as The Weeknd, is the sort of R&B artist that you can’t help but listen to. His hedonistic, dark themed songs are constructed in the void that exists between [...]
