Under XO Records, Tesfaye released his debut mixtapes: "House of Balloons", "Thursday", and "Echoes of Silence". He quickly earned a following and critical recognition from several mainstream publications due to his dark style of Contemporary R&amp;B and the mystique surrounding his identity. In 2012, he signed with Republic Records and re-released the mixtapes in the compilation album, "Trilogy". His debut studio album, "Kiss Land", was released in 2013. His sophomore album, "Beauty Behind the Madness" (2015), with the "Billboard" Hot 100 number-one singles "Can't Feel My Face" and "The Hills", won Best Urban Contemporary Album and was nominated for Album of the Year at the 2016 Grammy Awards. It was among the best-selling albums of 2015.
