Canada’s The Weeknd has gone major.

Even though his name is still fresh on the lips of most music fans, The Weeknd has dominated the blogosphere over the better part of the last two years. His crooning goes into sonic territory that is still largely unexplored by mainstream artists, and this deal could lead to big things for a whole realm of great, soulful artists on the rise. His first release will be Trilogy, a compilation of his previous three mixtapes with new material included for longtime supporters. Fan favorite “Wicked Games” will be the lead single, and sources close to the deal say the track will be on iTunes shortly. For now, you can watch a fantastic fan made video for the clip below.

Trilogy is scheduled for release November 13. Buy it.
