15 years ago today, an unknown 21-year-old from Toronto released 'House of Balloons'—a free mixtape with no press or label attached.
The real House of Balloons was a deteriorating party house at 65 Spencer Ave in Toronto, where Abel Tesfaye spent 2010 and 2011. Most of the project was recorded in bedrooms and makeshift studios with producers Doc McKinney and Illangelo.
What emerged was R&B warped by darkness and ambition. The blogs moved fast. By the time anyone knew who The Weeknd was, the intrigue had already taken on a life of its own.
In 2013, Tesfaye reflected on what separated the project from everything that followed in an interview with Complex: "I just wanted to make the greatest mixtape of all time... 'House of Balloons' is the most important for me because I spent the most time on it. I didn't have a deadline for that. Before 'House of Balloons,' it was all freedom."
