It’s been a strange year and a half for Abel Tesfaye, aka The Weeknd, since the release of House Of Balloons, the attention-commanding mixtape on which Wicked Games first appeared. Now the track serves as the first taste of a polished compilation of the Canadian producer’s trilogy of mixtapes, fittingly titled Trilogy. It still holds up well as a foremost example of the new R&B vanguard. Interesting to note I was sent a censored radio edit. Despite being stripped of profanity, it’s still a sexy as hell drug haze of a number.
