Hear A Live Preview Of The Weeknd’s Kanye West-Produced “Tell Your Friends”
The Weeknd’s ridiculously anticipated new album Beauty Behind The Madness comes out in just a week and a half, and we’ve still only heard a few songs from it. Last night, though Abel Tesfaye played a show in Las Vegas. And when he was there, he sang the album track “Tell Your Friends,” which Kanye West apparently produced. As Fake Shore Drive points out, Travi$ Scott, who was at the show, Instagrammed a very short video of the song. Also, someone made a longer live recording of the whole thing. Based on what we can hear, it’s hard to detect any of West’s sound in the track; this could be a rare case of West sublimating himself entirely to his collaborator’s aesthetic. Check out the live recording below.
Beauty Behind The Madness is out 8/28 on XO/Republic. And Abel Tesfaye recently modeled West’s new Yeezy Adidas collection for GQ.
