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?
