The new song from The Weeknd follows along the same path as the brilliant House Of Balloons mixtape. Since then, we’ve found out The Weeknd is Toronto-based Abel Tesfaye, we’ve seen about a gazillion unofficial videos for the each track on the mixtape and discovered that House Of Balloons was merely the first part of a trilogy with the other two mixtapes: Thursdays and Echoes of Silence in Fall coming in Summer and Autumn respectively. Most likely, the military-drum-backed ‘The Birds (Part 1)’ features on Thursdays.
