Even though we all secretly love a bit of Ellie Goulding, she's not normally the type of person we'd feature on the HotBox, well not unless it's yet another remix. However, this time Ellie is doing the remixing with her own take on The Weeknd's 'High For This'.
She gives it her own 'pop'-edge which is surprisingly charming and well worth checking out, especially since it's available for FREE here.

Don't know how this slipped under my radar. The Weeknd have a followed up 'HouseOfBalloons' with the new album 'Thursday'. If you are familiar with The Weeknd then you'll be happy to know this album is more of the same synthy, R&B style jams yet twisted and dark lyrics that we have come to expect. If you aren't aware of The Weeknd yet, then you are in for a treat, think Frank Ocean but with more of a 'post-dubstep' sound too.
Their next album, 'Echoes of Silence' is on the fast track to release on 24/10/11, so not long to wait now.
Their unique and captivating sound is really worth checking out. Fortunately The Weeknd have also been gracious enough to give out all their albums completely for free on their website, so it wont even cost you a penny. The Weeknd Thursday by the weeknd thursday
