I first discovered this album back in 2011 from my friend who made music and knew how to hear brand new artists. XO was the very first song I heard and instantly I felt a connection to Abe and his music. Like him, a 15 year old with a drug habit, partying all the time, broken spirit.
I’ve never written a review for any album, but he’s the exception. If you’re a broken individual with a talent for self realization of how messed up you really are, I highly recommend The Weeknd. His music will never disappoint.
