This week has been a good one for Toronto R&B artist the Weeknd. On Monday night, he won the award for Canadian R&B single of the year for "High for This" at the 2012 Stylus Awards, which honours the best in Canadian urban music and culture.
British singer-songwriter and critical darling Ellie Goulding has taken on the Weeknd's award-winning song, and added her own ethereal vocal quality to the original. Have a listen below and leave your thoughts on her interpretation in the comments.
