Last night (March 19), The Weeknd headlined YouTube's SXSW showcase and treated fans to some new music. The new song, reportedly titled "Mood Music", is produced by Million $ Mano, who was Kanye West's former tour DJ. As far as the "mood" on this one, it's typical XO: late-night/early morning (depressed) vibes, with enough bass to be a club staple. We're not sure "Mood Music" will appear on The Weeknd's next album, but going off the snippets we've heard, it will likely be his next single. 

The Weeknd also guested on the special SXSW edition of "Jimmy Kimmel Live", performing "Earned It", his latest single off the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack. 

Watch the clips below, and tell us what you think of "Mood Music".
