File The Weeknd beside Frank Ocean as an RnB star set to climb to new heights in 2012.
Earlier this year, Canadian singer The Weeknd (aka Abel Tesfay) became a ‘net sensation when his House of Balloons mixtape attracted the support of rapper Drake and highly positive reviews across the music press – stateside site Pitchfork compared its spectral qualities to The xx’s Mercury-winning debut. At the time of writing, it’s on the shortlist for the Polaris Prize, essentially the Canadian Mercury Prize. But rather than simply reaping the rewards of his blogosphere breakthrough, Tesfay has pressed on with the second of a proposed trio of mixtapes in 2011; on the schedule for later this year is part three, Echoes of Silence. Thursday again captures the artist amid woozy RnB bumpers and skeletal soul backgrounds, plus a couple of raucous almost-rockers, but perhaps lacks the sparkle that made House of Balloons so immediately satisfying.
