The Weeknd - "The Knowing"
Toronto's The Weeknd is anything but conventional with his mixtape House of Balloons released earlier this year garnering widespread acclaim including the shortlist for the 2011 Polaris Music Prize, while remaining relatively elusive. In fitting fashion "The Knowing" is Abel Tesfaye's first official music video, a track that doesn't immediately scream music video yet still manages to captivate. Both bizarre and stunning there is no denying the oddly enthralling experience of Tesfaye's references to Ethiopia and futuristic vision, "The Knowing" is not your average video but then again The Weeknd has never been your average artist.

In almost all the articles I have read about Abel Tesfaye,ever since his first mixtape came out, people refer to him as a "Canadian"....so I never expected him to put out a video ( his FIRST ONE)that basically says " I am ETHIOPIAN" .....he is obviously a proud habesha and as a fellow Ethiopian I am VERY proud of him for embracing his mother lands heritage and history!!!!!!!!!
