![]() These are supposed to be the last tracks we’re going hear from the Canadian singer’s new album before it comes out. *The Weeknd simultaneously released TWO countdown singles from “Starboy” last Friday night: “Party Monster” and “I Feel It Coming”. One with indie-pop queen Lana del Rey, one with rapper Kendrick Lamar, and two with French production duo Daft Punk. “Starboy” is to include 4 collaborations. The LP, which will hit stores around the world on November 25th via Interscope Records/Universal, will feature 18 tracks in total. Please, feel free to reflect everything whenever you want! A mixtape would be fine again, just like when he started.The Weekend revealed the full tracklist of his forthcoming much-anticipated third studio album “ Starboy” this week. Never! He can bring back that deeper part of himself anytime he wants. Now, he says its too late for him and we should give up. It's like a violent truth that he feels the need to hit you with: he is motherfcking rich and you are NOT, so THERE. The Weekend is boasting of his obscene wealth and lifestyle, including his love for the expensive cars, which he legitimately owns. In the darkness, there was this hope that things could change and get better maybe. The word 'Starboy' is Jamaican slang for celebrity. Anyway, we core Weeknd fans just aren't sure what to do with this newly super confidant, resigned to his destruction Starboy. So now, we mix that new exploratory Weeknd, with more fame & ego, and old Weeknd. How'd we get from "Thursday" to here? He found this more sincere part of himself on BBTM with Earned It, and it was his first #1 single. I guess all his one night stands get him on " A Lonely Night" but he will also die for someone? Is that person Valerie? :D I'm just not sure. The album, entitled Starboy will be released on November 25th, 2016. "Twenty-Eight", anyone? Now, his music is a little confusing. THE WEEKND has announced the title, cover art and release date for his latest album, the follow up to last year s Grammy-Award winning, triple-platinum Beauty Behind The Madness. He himself is a little of the same, but his behavior communicated through the music used to carry a strong undertone of regret and confusion regarding his actions with women. It was a very good tribute, people dont know that. ![]() Now mind you, this album is a tribute to David Bowie & Prince, which Weeknd is no stranger to showing respect to those that came before him (D.D from Trilogy is still my favorite one to date). ![]() I applaud him for that, and since every song on the album debuted on the Billboard hot 100 at the same time I'd say its working. As he says in the title track, he "switch out his style & take any lane," very clearly refusing to limit himself. The artist we see now is much more exploratory than when he debuted, "False Alarm" should be all the proof anyone needs. The Weeknd has talent! Amazing talent that makes it impossible for him to put out a truly bad album, especially since his core subject matter ( his voice, sex, love like themes, drugs, mistrust, money now, & more sex) are ever present. At first the singing was kind of creepy and alluring, but now its more open and inviting. On this follow-ups fourth track, a blithe midtempo cut where Tesfaye takes a swipe at pretenders while boasting about drinking codeine out of one. Why? The Weeknd's career from Trilogy to Starboy is like a creature crawling out from under the bed in the dark, to now laying in the bed with the lights on. The extent of the 2015 Weeknd commercial rebound, symbolized by platinum certifications for Beauty Behind the Madness and all four of its singles, didnt merely embolden Abel Tesfaye. Why? The Weeknd's career from Trilogy to Starboy is like a Solid 9 on production creativity (Shout out to Daft Punk!) but a strong 8 overall.
