The Weeknd Announces New Album "STARBOY"
A year after the massively successful Beauty Behind the Madness, Abel introduces fans to STARBOY.
Earlier this month, The Weeknd told VMAN that STARBOY would be his “best-sounding” album to date with influences ranging from The Smiths and Bad Brains to Prince.
“I think it’ll be the best-sounding album I’ve ever done,” he said. “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.”
He went on to say that he’ll be touching on his relationship with religion, as well as “how it ties into my crazy and materialistic life.” “I wrote some of these songs while recording Beauty Behind the Madness,” he added. “It’s like a fictional book inspired by true events.”
