Intro. High For This

Rolling Stone

What You Need / The Party & The After Party

If the hundreds of fans lined-up along College Street outside The Mod Club on Sunday night to attend the coming out party for reclusive R&B artist The Weeknd is any indication, Toronto is driving the hype hard on this one.

Although the buzz surrounding The Weeknd, a.k.a. Abel Tesfaye, was built entirely online after the release of his Polaris Prize-short listed debut album House Of Balloons in March, the vibe surrounding this much-anticipated gig had a frenzied throwback exclusivity about it; the official flyer proclaimed “no guest list, no cameras, no media”; tickets could only be purchased in-person at a shoe store downtown a week earlier and sold out immediately.

Inside the club, the ecstatic mood on the floor was reflected by the beaming presence of rapper Drake on a balcony above.

Vocally Tesfaye was in top form. An impassioned, unpredictable singer, he’ll belt one out, quiver-quaver in his boyish cadence and suddenly trail off.

When the concert ended roughly an hour-and-a-half later, not much more was known about The Weeknd except that he’d pulled off one of the most remarkable debuts in the city’s recent history.
