Embeds allowing bloggers to easily embed videos from Distrify. Just go to any Distrify film page or player and copy the URL. Paste that URL in any WordPress blog and it will automatically be converted to an embedded Distrify player. If you are logged in to distrify.com it will automatically add your affiliate tracking code to your embeds. Make sure you turn on Auto-embeds in your WP settings and also make sure that the URL is on its own line and not hyperlinked (clickable when viewing the post). The plugin also extracts the still image from the film and saves it as the Featured Image for the post. This actually works for any Embed (not just Distrify) that you embed into your WordPress blog.

the weeknd | beauty behind the madness

The Weeknd gets fans (haters too) all in a tizzy. His second (official) album Beauty Behind The Madness (via Republic Records) drops today!

You can stream it over at HYPETRAK. The BBTM release is a biggie! Why? Well, it’s 14-tracks heavy on why we love Mr. Abel Tesfaye in the first place… the music man, the music! Although the haunting sadistically and beauteous voice is familiar we’re treated to hear new directions in sound, scope and the myriad palette of colors coming together is such fine form. This particular body of work stretches, arcs and shifts from the unconventional to a proscribed formula based on, well… unconventionality. Case in point, the track Dark Times (feat. Ed Sheeran) is an unforeseen sticky sweet and euphoric absinthe pill. Just as the proceeding track Prisoner, a tryst coupling Lana Del Rey‘s prettily bruised vocals with the sinful amber of yours truly. It’s a slight of hand; a mere candy drop coated with incense smoke and shared body heat.

All in all, the album stands on it’s on and is a pretty solid display of The Weeknd’s unfolding brilliance. Personally, I think this is his best release to date. The Beauty Behind The Madness closes with the track Angel and it intones… I hope you find somebody to love, find somebody, find somebody … well, I think my ears already have. Peace.

Angel Lyrics

Angel, oh oh oh

Knew were special from the moment I saw you

I saw you

Yeah

I said angel, oh oh oh

I feel you closer every time I call you

I call you…

‘Cause all I see are wings

I can see your wings

But I know what I am, and the life I live

The life I live

But even though I sin

Baby, we all want to live

But I know time will tell if I planned for this

Yeah. If I planned for this…

And if we’re denied

I hope you find somebody (x3)

I hope you find somebody to love

Somebody to love (x2)

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

__________

I said angel, whoa whoa whoa

You’ll probably never take me back and I know this

I know this

I said angel, whoa whoa whoa

I am so desensitized to feeling these emotions

No emotions, baby

‘Cause all I see are wings

I can see your wings

But I know what I am, and the life I live

The life I live

But even though I sin

We all want to live

But I know time will tell if I planned for this, yeah

If I planned for this…

And if we’re denied

I hope you find somebody (x3)

I hope you find somebody to love

Somebody to love (x2)

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

__________

And even though we live inside

A dangerously empty life

You always seem to bring a light

And even though we live inside

A dangerously empty life

You always seem to bring me light

I hope you find somebody (x3)

I hope you find somebody to love

Some body to love (x2)

Yeah. Yeah.

OHHHHHH!

the weeknd | can’t feel my face

The Weeknd always manages to come into the ring swingin’ and his latest “Can’t Feel My Face” is a knockout. Coming off the recent success of “Earned It” from the Fifty Shades of Grey Soundtrack we’ve hardly had time to catch our breath. But I suspect that is just the way Mr. Tesfaye likes it. Peace.

Artist: The Weeknd
Track: Can’t Feel My Face
iTunes

I Can’t Feel My Face (Lyrics)

And I know she’ll be the death of me, at least we’ll both be numb
And she’ll always get the best of me, the worst is yet to come
But at least we’ll both be beautiful and stay forever young
This I know, yeah, this I know

She told me, “Don’t worry about it”
She told me, “Don’t worry no more”
We both know we can’t go without it
She told me you’ll never be in love, oh, oh, woo

I can’t feel my face when I’m with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can’t feel my face when I’m with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh

And I know she’ll be the death of me, at least we’ll both be numb
And she’ll always get the best of me, the worst is yet to come
All the misery was necessary when we’re deep in love
This I know, girl, I know

She told me, “Don’t worry about it”
She told me, “Don’t worry no more”
We both know we can’t go without it
She told me you’ll never be in love, oh, oh, woo

I can’t feel my face when I’m with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can’t feel my face when I’m with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can’t feel my face when I’m with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can’t feel my face when I’m with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh

She told me, “Don’t worry about it”
She told me, “Don’t worry no more”
We both know we can’t go without it
She told me you’ll never be in love, oh, oh, woo

I can’t feel my face when I’m with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can’t feel my face when I’m with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh

More like forty-days and forty-nights of something totally intoxicating.

The Weeknd is a crooner par excellence and his track (and video) are no exception. If you are a fan of Mr. Abel Tesfaye, well, the song “Twenty-Eight,” has everything you’ve come to expect from this Toronto native. It is soulful, sexy and ringed by vocals that will send shivers across her erogenous zones (hey, less work for you right?). By the way this video is a bit explicit so handle your business and show some discretion. Peace.

The Weeknd has been building tremendous hype for the past couple of years. So naturally there is a great deal of anticipation for his debut trilogy album. Unfortunately, the minus is his debut release contains material we’ve already heard on his previous mixtapes. The positive, is the songs are remastered for this release. Yeah,it’s a small thing. but the big plus is the addition of three new songs, “Twenty Eight”, “Valerie” and “Till Dawn (Here Comes The Sun)”. You can cop the trilogy via itunes. peace.

Lyrics:

I left my girl back home
I don’t love her no more
And she’ll never fucking know that
These fucking eyes that I’m staring at
Let me see that ass
Look at all this cash
And I emptied out my cards to her
Now I’m fucking leaning on that

Bring your love baby I could bring my shame
Bring the drugs baby I could bring my pain
I got my heart right here
I got my scars right here
Bring the cups baby I could bring the drank
Bring your body baby I could bring you fame
And that’s my motherfucking words too
Just let me motherfucking love you

Listen ma I’ll give you all I got
Get me off of this
I need confidence in myself
Listen ma I’ll give you all of me
Give me all of it
I need all of it to myself

So tell me you love me
Only for tonight
Only for one night
Even though you don’t love me
Just tell me you love me
I’ll give you what I need
I’ll give you all of me
Even though you don’t love me

Let me see you dance
I love to watch you dance
Take you down another level
And get you dancing with the devil
Take a shot of this
But I’m warning you
I’m on that shit that you can’t smell baby
So put down your perfume

Listen ma I’ll give you all I got
Get me off of this
I need confidence in myself
Listen ma I’ll give you all of me
Give me all of it
I need all of it to myself

Let the bass creep curiously into her ears. Around her throat it will kiss reckless beats down in-between her … Yes, this remix is a bit X-rated and as funky as it can get. Paper Diamond is skillful with cutting open a song and inserting nuclear powered artificial hearts like a surgeon at the top of his game. Watch it nah! Don’t get to close to the speakers they’re possessed with the P to the D and his beats will cut cha. Here, Alex B has taken The Weeknd‘s already bangin’ track and poured rocket fuel all over it and the song ignites; like Hendricks taunting flames over his Strat. But we ain’t roasting marshmallows around here (or guitars). No, we’re bringing bodies together like puzzle pieces. Paper diamond + The Weeknd = Vicious! Like I said, “Watch it nah!” Peace.
