Trilogy is a compilation album by The Weeknd, released on November 13, 2012, combining his three groundbreaking mixtapes—House of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes of Silence. The album showcases his signature dark, atmospheric R&B sound, blending moody production with themes of love, excess, and self-destruction. Featuring remastered versions of the original tracks along with three new songs (Twenty Eight, Valerie, and Till Dawn (Here Comes the Sun)), Trilogy serves as both an introduction to The Weeknd’s early work and a defining moment in alternative R&B. The album’s hypnotic storytelling and cinematic production solidified his status as a genre-defying artist.
