The Weeknd

[ToneDef]

He's not exactly super underground or anything but my friend recommended him ages ago and I finally got around to listening the other night and shiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

It was the House Of Balloons album I was checking out. I was in bed and his voice literally felt like my head was being filled with sparkly, sugary, melting butter or something.

I've been out of the loop musically for a long time. Just generally uninspired. I put a lot of it down to being pretty fussy and only enjoying that feeling of downloading something and it being magical. The XX and In Rainbows were pretty much the last records that did that to me. So this is a start.

He's pretty good...some of his lyrics are stupid, but that kind of goes hand in hand with the genre.  Definitely picks his beats well and he does sing like a champ.
