The MixtapE! Presents The Weeknd, Halsey, Logic and More New Music Musts – E! Online

New music Fridays are a thrilling, yet daunting prospect for any music lover. 

It’s essentially a weekly holiday where fan-favorite artists and fresh faces alike drop their latest offerings for all the world to hear, flooding streaming services and digital retailers with an onslaught of aural goodies. But who has the time to sit there and listen to everything before updating their playlists? There’s just too much good stuff! (And, if we’re being honest, usually a few stinkers, too.)

As it turns out, we do. Welcome to The MixtapE!

Music fans, we’ve earned this remix.

On Feb. 24, The Weeknd and Ariana Grande released a new version of his 2006 hit single “Die for You.” While the track is one of his biggest hits to date, The Weeknd said it was one of the hardest to write. 

“It took forever to finish that record,” the Grammy winner previously told Apple Music when the song was first released. “Technically, it’s the last record on the album, but I wanted it to feel it coming as the last record.”
