His last album 'Beauty Behind the Madness' was a huge commercial success, likely leaving Republic Records eager to release album number three. It’s like Scarface, the villain: It’s horrible, but you can’t stop looking at it. 'Starboy' is the upcoming third studio album from R&B/Pop sensation The Weeknd. You add more to him, and then it’s uncontrollable-its own character. Sometimes you take him and then you create more, and then it becomes this beast. That guy is who I am, but it is who I am to myself and in my writing. Speaking to Apple Music about the persona behind his songs, Tesfaye said, “I’m a chill person. And though his music has gotten a little brighter over time, the prevailing mood remains heavy, even unsettling-the ride you want more of even when you’ve had too much.

Tesfaye’s music has become a symbol of hedonism pushed to bleak excess, with a series of albums-including 2015’s Grammy-winning Beauty Behind the Madness, 2016’s multiplatinum Starboy, and 2020’s dense and atmospheric After Hours-whose narrators can’t seem to say no even if they hate themselves for it later. Ethiopian by heritage (his parents immigrated to Canada in the late ’80s, just before he was born), Tesfaye-out from behind the mask of making art online-has since come to represent the changing face of Toronto, rooting himself not just in an international musical community but in a specific diasporic experience.

One of the earliest musicians to find his footing on the internet, Tesfaye originally offered his music through YouTube and free downloads, a move that felt radical then but is common now. The brainchild of Toronto singer Abel Tesfaye, the project took off in 2011 with a string of mixtapes (later collected as 2012’s Trilogy) that forged cavernous, falsetto-driven R&B with narratives drenched in drugs, sex, and other regrettable decisions-a sound both sensuous and detached, featherlight and dead heavy. Even the singer’s sunniest tracks (“Can’t Feel My Face,” “Starboy”) feel anchored by darkness-the sense that pleasure is pain and beauty decays and you can’t have the night without the morning after. All in all, you will not be let down by this album.Nobody makes feeling bad sound as good as The Weeknd. Blood, dancing, and even a jungle cat were featured in this visual. The Weeknd also starred in his own short film titled “Mania” which I recommend watching. This is definitely a feel good album, something that you could kick back to or cruise to. But like I said, I love the album in general (It’s so hard to pick). My favorites include: “Die for you”, “Reminder”, “Secrets” as of right now. I cannot name one song on this album that I don’t like. Lana Del Rey was longer!! The Weeknd definitely took a different approach with this album because it’s not dark at all. He only had 3 artists featured in this album which were Lana Del Rey, Kendrick Lamar, and Future. Starboy has a lot of soul, R&B and funky tunes. Later then he released an album Titled “Kiss Land” and “Beauty behind the Madness”. So basically after he released House of Balloons, I was definitely going to be a life long fan.

His music was just so dark and twisted, but his voice was very soft and amazing! As the years went on he then released “Thursday”, and “Echoes of Silence” (which by then had crashed the internet when he tweeted the site where you could download E.O.S.) the site went down for about an hour. And OMG I was in awe, I became a fan! I then found myself searching for more and more songs from this guy that went by The Weeknd.
So I thought, why not listen to the House of Balloons mix-tape. I listened to it again with the speakers blasting on loud, and suddenly I became hypnotized. I heard “Coming down” and at first it was very strange, very dark, very different. At the time, House of Balloons was fresh on the internet. I had actually been told to listen to this mysterious guy (you could never see his face in pics back then) so one day I decided to look him up.
It was a few years ago, and I was sitting on a computer chair looking up songs on YouTube. Let’s back track to when I first heard my first song by The Weeknd.
