Joe mentioned "catchy". You can listen to it without the visuals or with the visuals.
It is the late 70s and 80s disco electro, but today with the sound of today for one audience of today.

There are certainly some aspects of that tune and video that I too like, or I wouldn't even started this thread in the first place. It is not for all taste and I completely understand the majority here.
I enjoyed also reading Shane's comment and with full understanding. He has four albums of The Weeknd. Over the years we learned each other's music taste, and with the times from yesteryear and where we are @ today slowly going towards tomorrow...music evolution in each one of us related more or less to our age and life's exposition...bringing up...family, friends, and all.

The Weeknd ... music today that resonate differently in different audiophile's ears and emotions ...

I do try and keep up with modern music and having two daughters just out of their teens keeps me up to date with the more poppy stuff. I like The Weeknd but he is more of a singles artist than full albums and as others have mentioned, there is a lot better electro pop stuff out there, but this discussion was to comment on the Weeknd.

If you can listen to Rufus Dul Sol on hirez or vinyl, you will have a better idea of really good modern electronic music. These guys are unbelievably good.

You are absolutely correct Shane; it's about The Weeknd.
We can all compare to other bands too; that's very easy.

I started this thread specifically about this singer from The Weeknd. I wanted to know what people here thought. I wanted to know if some will stream the hires of that first tune I posted through their hiend hifi sound system and turn it up. I kind of knew that only few would dare.

* As for the couple videos that you've just posted above...not my cup of tea, no offense.
 
There's some music that I enjoy because the fidelity pulls me in, 'The XX' is an example, but the weekend is too far from my preferred genre. and the dude's lips make Steven Tyler look normal.
