Initializing an sobject with record id

Lets say I have Id of Account record and I am initializing the sobject and assigning the Id to account variable. Below is the code : 
sObject obj = Schema.getGlobalDescribe().get(parentObjName).newSObject() ;
obj.Id = recordId;
System.debug('****obj : '+obj);
Debug Result: 
****obj : Account:{Id=0019000001dbup5AAA}
I was hoping that the debug will have the entire information from the account example like : Account:{Id=0019000001dbup5AAA, Name=TestAccount,...}
Is there any way to initialize the sobject in a way such that it gets loaded with the entire information?

OK Bro, 
You can try this -  
SObjectType objToken = Schema.getGlobalDescribe().get('Account');
DescribeSObjectResult objDef = objToken.getDescribe();
Map<String, SObjectField> fields = objDef.fields.getMap();
list<string> fieldslist = new List<string>();
for(String s : fields.keySet()) {
    fieldslist.add(s);
}
string q = 'SELECT ' + String.join(fieldslist, ',') + ' FROM account LIMIT 1';
System.debug(q);
sObject sObj = Database.query(q); 
Account acc = (Account)sObj.clone(false, true);
System.debug(acc);

Thanks,

If you want actual account data such as "Name=TestAccount"

Why not just do a SOQL query  such as [SELECT Name, Id etc From Account WHERE Id =  :recordId];

Hi Mathew, I need to clone the record using Sobject clone method. If I will query the record, I need to query all the fields. Since I am trying to build a generic solution, I do not want to query the record. Makes sense?

Hi Sumit, I need the record information, not the object information.
