This past month, fast growing star The Weeknd released his newest album,
Starboy
. Before releasing the album,
the artist released a short film
“
Mania,
”
which gave a first look to the new music coming. The album landed a spot at
number one on the iTunes charts for a couple weeks after it was released. This studio album is the third made from this
artist, and brings in collaborations from other popular artists such as Daft Punk, Lana Del Rey, Future, and Kendrick
Lamar. The Weeknd based his album around the single
“
Starboy,
”
which he also performed live this year at the
American Music Awards. The song
“
Starboy
”
is at number two on the iTunes charts, as well as number three on
Billboard
’
s
“
Hot 100
”
charts. Definitely upbeat and catchy, the album brings an R&B vibe, giving great sound lyrics
aside.
