New Music: The Weeknd – “Dirty Diana” [Michael Jackson Cover] Read more: New Music: The Weeknd – “Dirty Diana” [Michael Jackson Cover]




If staying out of the public eye enables you to drop three signifigant mixtapes within one year, then a few artists need to take notes from Toronto’s own The Weeknd, who just did that with the release of his newest mixtape Echoes of Silence.
At first listen, the track that stands out most is the opener titled “D.D.,” short for “Dirty Diana,” the classic Michael Jackson song about a ruthless seductress. The track shows The Weeknd singing the M.J. hit well; capturing the essence of the King of Pop with his pitch and intensity. It was a pretty bold statement for The Weeknd to take on the classic cover.
