He’s Back! The Weeknd Announces New Album ‘STARBOY’

And it begins!

The Weeknd is back, as predicted, with the first teaser of his hotly anticipated third album.

Taking to social media moments ago, the Platinum player unveiled the cover for the LP – which has officially been christened ‘STARBOY.’

Full story below…

The set is the follow-up to 2015’s ‘Beauty Behind The Madness,’ which spawned smashes such as ‘Can’t Feel My Face’ and ‘The Hills.’

That album hit 1 million in US sales and 2 million worldwide; and, with streaming factored in, was recently awarded a 3x Platinum plaque.

Needless to say, expectations are giant sized. Will Abel be able to deliver?

Word on the curb is that the first answer, in the form of a single or maybe even the album, will arrive imminently.

Exciting times!

    I hope this album is more urban & alternative like his older music . I used to love the weekend. BBTM was a decent album though

    I am in love with this era already. I am really proud of Abel. I can already feel this 1st single will slay. Im going to need all my pop/r&b men to step it up too.

    He’s like The Dream was. Awful singer, some knows his way around the studio, good songs but pretty similar in sound. And an all around bore. I give him 1-2 more albums of the same stuff and he’ll be right where the Dream is.

      Honey but The-Dream can write and produce.

    King Abel! He recently said he was influenced by Talking Heads, Prince, The Smiths, Bad Brains and DeBarge for this album! I thought he was going to take a few months before announcing anything, but here it is! #STARBOY

    That’s wassup! A real artist who ain’t about the chitter chatter, the gimmicks, the instafame & all that f*ckery. He gives his fans the music and keeps us fed. Can’t wait for this new era. Go in, Abel!
