New Music: The Weeknd - 'Earned It'
A snippet of a new track from The Weeknd titled 'Earned It' has been circulating around the Internet since last week and tonight we get a listen to the full version. The slow tune will be featured on the movie soundtrack to 'Fifty Shades Of Grey' arriving in theaters on February 13th.
'Earned It' is a refreshing sound from The Weeknd as he mixes in his signature vocals with a smooth instrumental from producer Stephan Moccio. The track is a appropriate fit on the motion picture soundtrack as 'Fifty Shades Of Grey' is based on a romantic novel written by E. L. James. "You know our love would be tragic / So you don't pay it, don't pay it no mind" sings the Toronto-bred artist.
