The Weeknd - The Morning

This is the standout track from that mixtape I was hyping. It's got synths in place of the strings you'd expect, and that voice - half falsetto, half swagger.

The lyrics are right on the cusp of hip-hop - it's almost a rap ballad, but his voice is all sugary sustenuto.

Commercial RnB has been stuck for a while now, and this is what the future sounds like.
