Title: i don't usually R&B but the weeknd is on some other shit...
Post by: Beasley on March 13, 2012, 07:10:37 am

seriously, is on some other shit. this mixtape, house of balloons, is unreal. if you can stand or appreciate r&b on any level then you need to hear this asap. i dont know what it is but the atmosphere in this album... at it's best it's dark, it's haunting, its fucking captivating to me. and it's something i bet most of you have missed. the strength of the album really lies in the production but this guys voice is seriously ligit.


some stretches do drag but there pretty much all the songs are great

His first and third are the best I think.


Frank Ocean is pretty good also:

And The Dream, despite being a cheeseball personality wise.

funny how the rap underground has really rallied around the r&b/soul revival. probably has a lot to do with the frank ocean/odd future connection.
