Everybody has the “Fifty Shades of Grey ” movie on their mind since it premiered last night in theaters.
The film’s soundtrack is also getting a lot of buzz due to The Weeknd’s song “Earned It,” which he performed yesterday on “The Tonight Show.”
Rocking some black jeans, a black and white jacket, and the new Yeezy Boosts, the Canadian crooner sang in varying octaves, switching back and forth from falsetto to mid-range quite seamlessly.
He didn’t move around a lot, he just used his powerful voice to draw in the studio audience, singing every word clearly and hitting each note precisely. It was truly a solid performance.
A piano player started things off before the band kicked in, and once The Weeknd hit those hard-to-hit notes, you could almost feel the song’s impact through the television screen.
The song itself is about a man telling a woman that she’s earned his devotion, and the 25-year-old does a splendid job of conveying the heart felt words through his performance.
It was also good to hear him sing the song in front of a live audience without any studio effects. It only proves how much vocal range he has and how talented he is.
The OVO affiliated artist will be playing tonight (Feb 13) in Las Vegas at the Drais Rooftop Nightclub, according to SongKick.com. Then he’ll be playing Coachella in Indio, Calif. from April 17-19.
The “Fifty Shades of Grey” soundtrack is in stores now and you can also purchase it on iTunes.
