The Weeknd has shared 18 minutes of material off his upcoming The Beauty Behind the Madness LP, in an apparent attempt to quash the spread of illegal bootlegged copies that are (allegedly) circulating online. Every one of the record's 14 tracks are included in the leak, which is effectively a string of snippets fading in and out of one another. Listen to the teaser below. It's excellent, and should be more than enough convincing for you to pre-order your proper copy of the album, which is due out Friday.
