The Weeknd - House Of Balloons by The_Weeknd

"Less than two months ago, few of us had ever heard of the Weeknd. Then, as soon as the creepy R&B tracks from this mixtape began to circulate, the hype engine revved up. There was the Drake cosign, the album art that looked like Spiritualized crossed with Tumblr art-porn, the missing vowel, the stylish samples, and the project's creators hiding in the shadows. You can't buy buzz like this, and the Weeknd's quick rise to Internet fame, both in indie circles and in parts of the mainstream, raised fascinating questions about the blurrier-than-ever lines between those two audiences and the underground's newfound embrace of R&B. But set all that aside for a moment and you're still left with an album, same as always. And this album happens to be very good. House of Balloons is a remarkably confident, often troubling debut that excels at both forward-thinking genre-smearing and good old-fashioned songcraft." (Pitchfork)
