When I replaced my corroded Mac harddrive with a new 1TB monster, I promised myself that I would make my new iTunes a riff-raff-free zone. I’ll download anything, but if it’s not up to par….into the trash it goes. If you’re looking for some quality to new artists, be sure to check out The Weeknd.
Take some Frank Ocean-like vocals, layer them on top of airy reverbs, lightly-strummed spanish guitars and beats that conjure images of marijuana-filled cinematic drives down the California coast and you will have a small idea of what it is to experience The Weeknd. For those of you who have no idea what those factors produce when fused…it’s cool.
I haven’t heard much buzz about this EP, but all the cool kids are listening to it and that’s always a good sign. So if you’re looking for a good way to grace your ears with 9 tracks of cool, be sure to check out The Weeknd’s EP “House of Balloons”
