Canadian singer The Weeknd's hit "Blinding Lights" rose to number one on the charts in 34 countries including the U.S. and Canada. Taken from his fourth album After Hours and performed at the Super Bowl, the singer combines elements of pop music along with the synth-pop era of the 1980s. This piece is the perfect vehicle to reinforce syncopation while having fun! Arranged by Michael Kamuf, the infectious groove will make this a favorite of students and audience alike! (2:45)
