Hoping to steal Bruno Mars‘ magical thunder this week is The Weeknd and his new LP ‘Starboy.’
Inspired by the stylings of Michael Jackson, the set hit retailers today and, much to the delight of swelling fan base, is now available to stream right here on TGJ!
How he described it?
The production feels aggressive but still sexy. The Smiths, Bad Brains, Talking Heads, Prince, and DeBarge play roles. We wrote it all in Los Angeles. I think it’ll be the best-sounding album I’ve ever done. It’s hard to label the sound because, when I first came out, nobody would label it R&B. I just want to keep pushing the envelope without it feeling forced.
Will you agree?

I need the FULL version of stargirl ASAP
Same he’s so epic
OMG on the strength of you making that comment I went and listened and Stargirl…. IT’S EPIC!!! This is the sound Lana Del Ray should go back to – urban beats and sonically trippy vocals
Chile, The Weeknd haters are just gonna have to pick their faces up off the floor like they are about to see Chateau Sheree for the first time lol…True Colors (beautiful), Die For You and Sidewalks are some of my early favorites…King Abel was scheduled to collaborate with Prince at Paisley Park before he died…if that doesn’t show that The Weeknd has his own lane, I don’t know what will! Starboy oozes with The Weeknd’s style – this isn’t pastiche chile…Justin Timberlake is singing background vocals on Rockin – YES, you heard right! Daft Punk works with close to no one, yet King Abel gets TWO SONGS…this is just some of the reasons that King Abel is on another level! #STARBOY
OK, that might not be Timberlake on additional vocals lol…but yes, everything else I said is confirmed
Confirmed by who? Get off of your self valadated, self righteous self and stop loling at what you think is funny.
You’re just pressed, boo boo! lol
I feel it coming had been on repeat all day. That song is so bomb!
It’s is sooooo f****** good. A lonely Night, Sidewalks and Attention are my favorite tracks so far.
You forgot “Die For You” ??❤️
I’m so proud of him ! This album is everything ! I literally love every song ❤️
“Reminder” “6 Feet Under” “Dir For You” “Ordinary Life” “All I Know” & “Party Monster” has me SHOOK ??
Honestly, I can’t stand his voice for a whole album. Tried to listen to it, but he got on my nerves though the album is not that bad
Wow he got some good music
