Kicking Off The Weeknd

By Tankboy in Arts & Entertainment on Aug 19, 2011 9:20PM

The Weeknd's latest mixtape dropped yesterday and it's titled Thursday, but we can think of nothing better to to listen to on a Friday. This is music to have sex to, to come down to, to regret to, to get dressed to go out to and to wallow so deeply in -- submerge yourself completely -- as to cause you to not have any idea which way is up and not care.

This is a good time to be a fan of breathing R&B unafraid of evolution. Between The Weeknd, Frank Ocean, Theophilus London and Van Hunt it appears we're entering a new golden age of artists delving deep within the structure of soul without feeling beholden to repeating the past.

Anyway, go find someone to get lost with you in this music and don't come back up until Monday morning. If you can.
