The Weeknd


I resisted it. No, really. Soooo trendy as far as i can tell. I hate to be the 2nd-to-last guy to jump on the train of something that's been making the hipster circuit for a season already. And that is definitely what this is.

But i'll be damned if it isn't great.

It sounds like the perfect sound track for the party and follow-up "necking" scene in a horror movie. And it gives that same sense of fun and impending doom.



I don't know if this fellow does his own production. I doubt it. But i hope he does. If not, it will be another Kid Cudi story: awesome weird production on the free interblog mixtapes, and settle down to normal after signing. As it is, this stuff is fab. Dark, moody, lots of real guitar and bass.



Lyrics are so bad you'd have to pull out an R Kelly record to beat it, but at the same it is so ugly and weird.
"She gave me sex and a handbag
  i got her wetter than a wetknap...
  I heard he do drugs now;
   you heard wrong, i been on it for a minute
   .....Bring out the glass tables"

Why am i spending so much time on justifying this? Because, frankly, it sounds a little like Usher... and my kid's babysitter loves Usher. So that's kind of like a double dip of dis, right?





Dude's mixtape is free on his site
