Continuing on the R&B crossover explosion, we have another mysterious group named the Weeknd. You can download the whole album for free off their website here. You can tell by the album cover and their Tumblr they are going for that witch house vibe. There style is more of the high pitch R&B lyrics over a draggy wobbly bass. The lyrics are much darker than your 90's R&B, which I think help.
Overall the album is definitely worth the space on your hard drive. Pitchfork.com recently rated it 8.5 out of 10, and gave it the label of "Best new music". You can read their review here. Enjoy.
