And with time running out on the shot clock in the 4th quarter, The Weeknd alley-oops Thursday to the world right before the buzzer hit on Friday. You can say that he dropped this out of no where and then he tweeted “f**k… it’s finally Thursday”. And like that the anticipation for this grew sky high, everyone wondering whether he would drop it or not. Well he did release it and managed to even crash his own website. If Thursday has the same kind of success that House of Balloons had (one of the best projects of the entire year), then it could propel The Weeknd into stardom and solidify him as one of the most talented musicians today, period. I don’t know if it’s even possible for me to build any more hype for this project, it’s already sky high. So without further adieu check out the review of The Weeknd’s Thursday + stream and download below!

We are changing it up here today on the ESP, as we are going to cover one of the most promising R&B singers today. With that being said, no one in the music industry might be more mysterious than The Weeknd himself. I mean the picture above is one of about a total of six different ones, and you can’t even see his face well. I actually think that’s what makes him so intriguing. Not much is known about him, except for one thing: he makes damn good music. So come check out what makes The Weeknd the next big thing in music below!
It’s hard to believe that we are already halfway through 2011. Even harder for some to believe that there have been so many good releases in music already. That being said I’ve cooked up my Top 25 releases of the year so far. Rather than try to breakup mixtapes and official releases (which have become pretty much one in the same lately), I decided to lump them all together and give you my take on the twenty-five best releases at the midway point of 2011. Hit the jump for the countdown and let me know what your favorites are in the c-section!
