Album

House of Balloons is the debut mixtape by Canadian singer The Weeknd. It was released as a free download on March 21, 2011, then was later released by XO. The mixtape was also released on The Weeknd's official website. Its music incorporates electronic and contemporary genres, including R&B and soul, along with trip hop, indie rock and dream pop tones. The contributions to the mixtape's production came from Canadian record producers such as Doc McKinney, Zodiac and Illangelo, among others. On November. I am reacting to The Weeknd's House Of Balloons album Thanks for watching. Where the Weeknd differ, though, is that their source material pulls from the leftfield the title track re-purposes Siouxsie and the Banshee's Happy House, two songs here ride mutated Beach House samples, and their approach is more about building vibe and atmosphere. They're great at rich, woozy compositions that send Tesfaye's aching falsetto through the mix. House of Balloons is the first of three critically acclaimed mixtapes released for free download by The Weeknd, which was released on March 21, 2011. This 9 track project was released under XO and Island Records. House of Balloons, along with Thursday and Echoes of Silence, was later remastered as the Trilogy album in 2012, with one extra song on each tape. The bonus track for this mixtape was his twenty-eighth song, Twenty Eight. The project, primarily produced by Illangelo and Doc McKinney, pushed the boundaries of R&B, with its influences of trip-hop, indie rock and dream pop and inco. Taken as mood music designed for toxic and illicit late-night situations, House of Balloons - the debut from Toronto vocalist Abel Tesfaye, released as a free download on his Tumblr blog - can make for absorptive listening. Joined by producers Doc McKinney and Illangelo, Zodiac, and Rainer, Tesfaye - to lift a phrase from David Toop - exemplifies the combination of sugar and poison that has powered R&B throughout its evolution. Album 2011 10 Songs. The Weeknd. R&BSoul of Balloons is the debut mixtape of Canadian artist, The Weeknd, released online for free in March 2011. Production was headed up by Canadian producers Doc McKinney, Zodiac, Illangelo. House of Balloons blends a range of electronic and urban genres including R&B and soul. The title track is based on the music of the hit single Happy House by Siouxsie and the Banshees. Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, born 16 February 1990, known professionally as The Weeknd pronounced the weekend, is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer. In late 2010, Tesfaye anonymously uploaded several songs to YouTube under the name The Weeknd. Throughout House of Balloons, Tesfaye croons in a silky smooth R&B voice that gives The-Dream a run for his money, and frankly, blows Frank Ocean out of the water. Out of nowhere, he has established himself as the newest, freshest voice on the scene, albeit with promotion assistance from Drake. Still, no song on the album best exemplifies The Weeknd like What You Need. Illangelo and McKinney compose their most minimal track here, with only a basic minor synth progression and an almost too-simple beat. House of Balloons is a record comprised of slow-burning bangers, expertly crafted and dripping with a refreshingly ugly prettiness. Full Review. The comparison has been made before, but The Weeknd is essentially Michael Jackson if he was a huge partygoer and suffered from endless depression and substance addiction. House of Balloons pretty much capitalizes this by instantly hitting us with its druggy atmosphere and Abel's tenor vocal delivery. His pen game isn't anything great, but this record makes the lyrics work in his favor. Overall, The Weeknd's debut mixtape stands, with the rest of Trilogy, as his best. read more. 3mo.
