The Weeknd - High For This
I first heard The Weeknd’s House of Balloons mixtape back in April. Funny thing about music, like movies and most art forms, timing is important. I was almost put off by this record the first few times I listened and now I can’t get enough of it.
The Weeknd - Wicked Games
The Weeknd are Canadian duo Jeremy Rose (production) & Abel Tesfaye (vocals) serving up a darker strain of R&B. They’ve been almost over-hyped in the music blogosphere since the first in a trilogy of mixtapes dropped back in March.
DISCLAIMER: As a general rule, I find songs with lyrics that overuse profanity (fuckin’ and motherfuckin’ in this case) to be a turn off. For months that was the case with this song. But it kept popping up on music blogs I follow, and I kept tuning in. Once desensitized to the lyrics, I completely fell for the song. Dark and almost disturbing but very motherfuckin’ sexy.
