The Weeknd - Thursday

It's still early and I've listened to this tape twice already, but I can't give a review.  It sounds good, but I haven't given it a proper listen.  Is it better than House of Balloons? Probably not, but it is still moving in the right direction.  As long as the young man stays with his production team, he'll be a winner.

The amount of downloads within 13 hours of release Thursday has accumulated is crazy.
The Weeknd is a music anomaly because people normally don't care about your work early in your career.
But he's been able to create an unprecedented buzz with his music.
Now he just needs to learn how to perform on stage.
Once he has that down, his journey is endless.

The Weeknd - Rolling Stone

Something new from this guy is always a positive.  Last time I wrote about him I didn't know if he was one person or a group.  Well he's a singular unit, with a team behind him.  They're crafting this sound that's easy to fall in love with.

This song is called Rolling Stone, and he's picking up where he left off on House of Balloons.  I suppose this will be on his next joint, entitled "Thursday".  You already know I'm looking forward to it.
