Fans of The Weeknd, rejoice! The Canadian singer is re-releasing his first-ever mixtape on its 10-year anniversary, but with a twist. 

The star announced on Instagram that he will be dropping his decade-old project, House of Balloons, which arguably put him on the map, in its original form.

"On Sunday for its 10 year anniversary I’m releasing House of Balloons on all streaming platforms for the first time in it’s original incarnation. With the original mixes and samples," he wrote.

In 2011, The Weeknd released his first full project after posting music to YouTube for a while and gaining traction for his anonymous and mysterious allure. When House of Balloons dropped, it got a nod of approval from Drake and was voted best new music. 

The Weeknd has been busy after performing at the Super Bowl and planning for his upcoming tour, which starts in Vancouver on January 14, 2022.
