[Songs of the Day] 2/17/14 (Feat. Beyonce, Kanye West, PARTYNEXTDOOR & More)
There was a huge influx of new music over the weekend, and we're here to round it all up, organize it, and make it a little easier to sift through it all. Unless your head has been firmly buried in sand somewhere, you may have heard Beyonce dropped an unexpected album, the lead single of which ("Drunk In Love") has been burning up the radio waves and Internet. Everyone and their mother seemed to get on a remix of the Jay Z/Beyonce track as Diplo, Kanye West, T.I. & The Weeknd all highlighted a heavy dose of Bey. Weathering the "Drunk In Love" storm was Canadian product and OVO signne PARTYNEXTDOOR, who dropped off a new song in "Persian Rugs" and Trinidad Jame$, who celebrated Valentine's Day the way only he can, with a new record in "EtheREAL". Jeremih & Shlomo's latest track, "No More" got a remix from Boots and some EDM from Jr. Hi, who got Childish Gambino on "Trillion Girls" and Ellie Goulding who unveiled a new Skrillex track on her latest mix for BBC Radio 1. Kanye West made the list twice, with producer Hudson Mohawke leaking the original cut of "Bound 2" featuring Tyler, The Creator in Leeds over the weekend, Big Boi continued his series of "Mash-Up Mondays" with a new track in "Damaged World Mash-Up" which comes complete with animated visuals and Trash Talk & Flatbush Zombies got together for "97.92". From Honduras we got a fresh song in, "Ace" and The Trouble With Templeton showed up with "Soldiers". In other news, Treated Crew member Mic Terror teased his latest album, Fresh Prince of Darkness, with "Anti-Swag" featuring Taylor Bennett and The GTW of JODY fame dropped a dope little dance number in "Calling Cards". Check it all out, streaming below.

[Stream] The Weeknd: "Kiss Land"
The Weeknd, quiet since his release of his Trilogy series last year, premiered his latest album, Kiss Land via an album stream on NPR, which is available here. At first listen, the newest offering from the Toronto native isn't much of a departure from his earlier work: introspective-laden lyrics dripping in layers with a lot of large-scale production behind it, albeit a bit more dance-laden. The Weeknd does what he does well, and that sentiment isn't lost on him as he seems to further his brand and personal genre with Kiss Land. The lone feature go to Drake (of course), check it out for yourself.

The Weeknd: "Love In The Sky"
The Weeknd AKA Abel Tesfaye offers another effort titled "Love In The Sky" from his upcoming LP, Kiss Land, dropping September 10th. I'm [personally] not altogether blown away by the two singles that have been released but continue to have high hopes for the LP. Either way, peep the track below. Also, The Weeknd will be performing in Chicago on his massive Kiss Land Tour on October 13th & October 14th at The Chicago Theatre.
[Video] The Weeknd: "Belong to the World"
Here is the newest visual from Toronto crooner, The Weeknd, off of his fourth LP, Kiss Land. The eight-minute video, directed by Anthony Mandler, views more like an independent, revolutionary, Kung Fu film but featuring a man with a really bad haircut. The Portishead sampled track ("Machine Gun") is a hint of the progressive sound to come on the next album yet with the same story line (boy meets absent-minded, all love lost, no feeling kind of girl who likes to party). But decide for yourself and peep the clip below.
