I was a teenager when I saw Scarface, and even though it was unbelievable, it’s kind of cool Tony Montana could survive all those gunshots and not feel them. The vibe on “Starboy” comes from that hip-hop culture of braggadocio, from Wu-Tang and 50 Cent, the kind of music I listened to as a kid. The project was met with mostly favorable reviews, became the number one album on iTunes in one day, topped the Billboard 200, and shattered Spotify’s single day streaming record.Ībel commented on the album in an interview, saying:

The album was eventually released on November 25th 2016, touting a whopping 18 tracks with features from Future, Lana Del Rey and Kendrick Lamar. Daft Punk on September 21st 2016, one day before the start of the fall season in North America. He dropped the first single, “Starboy” ft.

The “king of the fall” announced the album after teasing his fans on his instagram. Starboy is The Weeknd’s highly anticipated third studio album (excluding the mixtape compilation album Trilogy).
