[RnB] An interesting video from The Weeknd
The Weeknd - Glass Table Girls (off their new mixtape House of Baloons)
The Video is a scene taken from the first Robocop chopped up to flow with the songs rythm.
The lyrics are refering to a drink, "7 on 7" as in Seagrams 7 blended canadian whiskey and 7up.
The Weeknd is Abel Tesfaye, an RnB artist from Toronto, Canada. Abel started uploading songs to YouTube in 2010, and has sampled such artists as Beach House and Siouxsie and the Banshees. In March of 2011 he dropped his first mixtape, House Of Balloons. The vocals, sometimes sung and sometimes rapped, talk about ugly things in a pretty voice. Drake, the group’s citymate, toys with a similar aesthetic, but the Weeknd takes his ambivalent emotional tenor and stretches it out, building a whole worldview from it.
