I might be hearing Breakbot when I'm actually hearing an updated take on Nu Disco and City Pop - which both influenced Breakbot a lot.
And the vocal stylings on Breakbot songs when collaborators Ruckazoid and Yasmin sing are similar to the style The Weeknd employs often - but ALL are very obviously influenced by the non-HE-HE style of Michael Jackson.

I don't think he's biting at all, just have very similar shared influences.
I think he could cover Another You very easily: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dybNNo8y48k
