Before everyone’s favorite mystery singer The Weeknd was The Weeknd, he was part of a songwriting/production team called, The Noise. We’ve heard comparisons of Mr. Tesfaye’s sound being similar to The-Dream and Drake, and in an unreleased demo track titled, “Birthday Suit”—which he apparently penned back in ’09 for Drake—you can definitely hear the musical influences.
Hard work really paid off for the Toronto native. He’s gone from aspiring to write for Drizzy to sharing a stage with him as he gave a room full of club-goers his Weeknd stamp-of-approval. We hope to hear something from the two on The Weeknd’s upcoming “Thursday” mixtape or Drake’s sophomore effort Take Care. It surely looks like something is already in the works.

Is there a way to download those songs?
