For long-time fans, Trilogy is a sacred text. For new listeners, it is a rite of passage. Whether you are here for the thumping bass of "The Hills" (which is a descendant of this sound) or the synth-wave of After Hours , the roots are here.

The title track, "High for This," serves as the perfect entry point. The heavy, distorted bass kicks in before Tesfaye’s falsetto floats over the top, an invitation to a party you know you shouldn't attend. Then comes "What You Need," a masterclass in seduction and manipulation.
