Less than two months ago, few of us had ever heard of the Weeknd. Then, as soon as the creepy R&B tracks from his free mixtape (House Of Ballons) began to circulate, the hype engine revved up. What makes this whole thing work in an album context is that all the thematic and sonic pieces fit together-- these weird, morning-after tales of lust, hurt, and over-indulgence are matched by this incredibly lush, downcast music. Even though the image of nightlife painted by the Weeknd isn't a place you'd ever want to live, it's one that's frankly very hard to stop listening to. I Find my self listening to these songs at least once a day, and you probably will be too! Download House Of Balloons Here
