The Weeknd 'Echoes Of Silence' Released

Had your fill of holiday music already? Before you head off to wherever it is you spend Jesus' birthday, it's important to stock up on new music, whether it's to amuse you on your trip or to drown out the sound of your family.

Today The Weeknd, the super-hyped Canadian act known for its experimental R&B sounds and a #1 fan in the form of Drake, released Echoes of Silence, a free, nine-track download follow up to August's Thursday.

If you only get one chance to turn off Bing Crosby this holiday weekend and plug in your own iPod, make sure this is what you play.
