The Weeknd - The Morning
Artist: The Weeknd
Producer: Doc Mckinney and Illangelo
Album: House of Balloons
Label: Universal Republic
Tunes appropriate for late nights filled with bottle-popping revelry are never in short supply, but what about The Morning after, when you wake up with the room spinning and a headache the size of Texas? OK, so R&B-lovers haven’t exactly been clamoring for hangover music – but, hey, a true innovator creates his own market, and Booth newcomer The Weeknd has this one cornered. The T-dot buzzmaker’s latest single finds producers Doc Mckinney and Illangelo blending hazy synth washes and liquid blues-guitar riffs to narcotically hazy effect, as the T-dot native croons about the fallout of his latest bender: “Got the walls kickin’ like they six months pregnant…. girls callin’ cabs at dawn, quarter to seven..” Though the lingering effects of codeine and liquor have him feeling like a “[zombie] of the night,” emotion shines through his flat affect as he revisits his memories of a certain female – he knew she wasn’t going to stick around, but he has to admit that the “girl put in work.” Smooth, sexy and slightly disorienting, this joint is guaranteed to leave fans of unconventional R&B vibes intrigued. If that sounds like you, more freshness awaits on Weeknd’s House of Balloons mixtape, available now online.

The record... blew me away. Then I download his new mixtape... blew me away. How did I not hear about this guy sooner? To make up for lost time, expect to hear much much more in the months/years/decades to come. Unconventionally and intentionally dynamic.

I can't really get into The Weeknd. They got a crazy buzz but I'm not feeling any of their music. The beat on here is hitting though

Nice way to sum up his sound and this song Richard. As I've said before, his genre should be labeled - Melodic Seduction! This song is a cut but will never compare to two of the best R&B songs I've heard in the past five years by him. "High for This" which is being talked about a lot lately because it's on the Trailer for Entourage's last season and "Wicked Games!" I know it sounds weird but he has a smooth way of cussing in his music which adds more of an emotional feeling to it. Only behind Drake on my list of favorites.
