Ready for The Weeknd

no not this weekend, The Weeknd! This is my week to post about music apparently, but this one is too good for me to wait to post.

Garnering some major, major buzz is 20 year old Abel Tesfaye from Toronto. After having listened to his entire album House of Balloons (which by the way you can download for FREE here ) I can see why. I kind of have a major crush on these smooth, sexy tunes. Having just been released on March 21, 2011 The Weeknd has recieved big endorsements from fellow Torontonian Drake and also reviewed by Rolling Stone magazine as an artist to watch out for.

The Weeknd is not just R&B slow jams though, his influences range from Aliyah and The Dream to Souxsie and The Banshees to who knows what else, all combined House of Balloons is dark, mysterious, lush and sexy...like you are going to want to put this on and run and find someone to make out with kind of sexy....I'm addicted.
