Saw him on Jimmy Kimmel and liked his voice. A mix of El Debarge and Babyface type voice. CD NOW out! Lemme know wha ya think?

His 2012 Highly praised CD:

In late 2010, Tesfaye uploaded several songs to YouTube under the name "The Weeknd", though his identity was initially unknown. In 2011, he released three nine-track mixtapes: House of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes of Silence, which were critically acclaimed.In 2012, he released a compilation album, Trilogy, consisting of remastered versions of the mixtape material and three additional songs. It was released under Universal Republic Records, and his own label XO. In 2013, he released his debut studio album Kiss Land.

The Weeknd has received praise from several music publications, including Pitchfork, MTV, BET, Rolling Stone, XXLand The Source. MTV's John Norris has dubbed him the "songbird of his generation" and the "best musical talent since Michael Jackson".

I LOVE his mixtapes. Didn't get Trilogy but I will be getting his new one if it lands at Wal Mart or Target.

He's been around for months over here and I was feeling him as well. Also thought of MJ in Wicked Games, the melancholy of Stranger in Moscow and edge in Dirty Diana
