When House of Balloons was first released on the 21st of March, 2011, no one would have expected for it to blow up this much. It was an experimental sound, something everybody wasn't too familiar with. All of the excitement came in part from Drake, when he quoted Abel through his twitter one of the songs off of the mixtape. This then sparked the interest of many people.
Now it's November 13th 2012, and as I sit hear watching everyone buy the album, and watching people place "XO" after their twitter names shows you just how much The Weeknd has impacted the music world.
This time it's just not about his music; it's more about the person he was last year, to who is today, to who he has become one year later, how much he's going to change, and to how the music is going to change and if it would stay the same. Supporting a true artist and watching him evolve creates a bigger pride, and seeing how far Abel can and will take this. I wish him good luck, and hopefully he would stay true to his music, and especially himself and what he stood for from the very beginning.
-xo until we overdose...
