The Weeknd is the alias of Toronto R&B artist Abel Tesfaye and his first release. The album’s an amazing and moving listen, making it one of the best reviewed albums of 2011 so far and even topping some half-year lists (such as Metacritic).
And it’s available for free.
Click here to download from The Weeknd’s official website and give it a listen. You won’t be sorry. I’m not even really that much of an R&B guy and I fell in love with it on first listen.

I like to think that, by providing you with a link to these two great listens, I saved you anywhere from $20 to $30 you might spend on inferior offerings. Why not take that money you saved and donate it to the NY Special Olympics? They sure could use your help, now more than ever, in providing assistance and services free of charge to over 47,000 young differently abled athletes throughout New York State.
