Music That Takes Me Places

The Weeknd, House Of Balloons

House Of Balloons is one of the more intriguing albums of the year for me. I'm not a big fan of music that celebrates or glorifies sex and drug use, but The Weeknd (Canadian R&B singer Abel Tesfaye), has crafted a highly stylized, dark and moody album that is hard to ignore. On the first of what will be a trilogy of albums, Tesfaye creates a lush, atmospheric landscape that provides such an inviting backdrop to set his unsettling lyrics against, that I found myself drawn into these songs and then unable to escape them.

Music has always been an important part of my life. My family and friends knew this well, often asking me what I was listening to and what I liked. It was always humbling to be asked, and eventually, I gathered the courage to create this music blog—to put into words what draws me to certain music and why. Over the years, my passion for writing has grown, along with my excitement for sharing musical discoveries. I hope your time here sparks excitement and leads you to a musical discovery of your own. More than anything, I hope your visit brings a little joy to your day.
