The Weeknd has been making some of the best and most original R&B music in the last year. coming out of Toronto (T'Ronto), Abel Tesfaye's sounds like R-Kelly would sound like if he took a break from peeing on 14-year-old girls (fucking awful, dude) and concentrated on making good music. a beautiful, soulful voice matched with original, gorgeous production. the beats seem to have some Burial/drag influence which is refreshing to hear in R&B music. perhaps witch house music is making an influence in the mainstream genres? i dunno, and honestly i don't really fucking care, i just like it. and if you don't, then you should chill with half a bottle of bourbon and a handgun and see what happens.
check out this sick fan-made youtube video that utilizes a scene (a perfect one to match the music) from the pride of Detroit, Robocop:
