I never thought I'd recommend a current R&B album considering how poor most of it is these days but "House of Balloons" by The Weeknd is pretty good. Definitely worth a listen if you like some R&B past or present.

I've read a lot about it (it's been highly-acclaimed by critics) but not got round to listening to it yet.

The whole album (or mixtape, as it's been referred to as) was actually released as a free download

I LOVE The Weeknd, it's actually becoming a bit of an unhealthy obsession

Wicked Games is my favourite, but I also love The Morning, What You Need, Loft Music and House of Balloons. And a song not on the mixtape called Do It.

House of Balloons - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjrCg4SybNw

What You Need - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMjM2...eature=related

I agree with those saying that him and Frank Ocean are the new wave of real R&B.

(If you haven't heard Frank Ocean, this song is brilliant - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaS-S4Brx7o)
