The Weeknd was in Paris, France last night and here is footage of him opening the show with a powerful performance of "High For This". The Toronto native has been non-stop touring as of late, and we have recently learnt that new dates have been added. OVO Fest, Osheaga Festival in Montreal, and RBC Blufest in Ottawa are the only 3 future Canadian dates... for now. Peep the video below and check back for more footage from the tour.

There are times when I have to get creative by busting out esoteric adjectives or finding new ways to scream in type in order to get people's attention directed toward music they want to hear but don't know it yet. There are several acts that require a few spins around the block before they attract attention, Odd Future being one of the most recent cases I can recall. But The Weeknd, thanks to a Drake tweet, is a group that never needed exterior propping. House of Balloons propelled them effortlessly into seemingly everyone's "Best Mixtape Of The Year" slot, from within pop, hip-hop and alt R&B circles alike. But co-sign aside, it's also true that this significant crossover achievement was brought about by the character and quality of the tape itself.
In this context comes the official video for "What You Need," a sultry visual that appropriately hinges around drugs, alcohol, sexy women in cocktail dresses sprawled out on couches around the 4am mark looking comfy without blankets nor pillows, threesomes, seduction, and hangovers. It's what you neeeeeeeed.
