After much speculation, the world was treated to a teaser for the upcoming album by The Weeknd. The title track, Starboy, was released on Apple Music where it can be downloaded.
But the surprise wasn't that it dropped early. The new track is a collaboration between the Canadian artist, and Robot French duo, Daft Punk.
More of a guest performance, the duo can be heard in the background using their iconic robotic voices. Still, don't expect the big return of the helmet brothers on this one. It is truly The Weeknd's album and sound, and not a marketing move to bring back the duo after a void of many years. Could it be a soft reintroduction of their name into our psyche before their next big drop? Only a few know. The R&B singer keeps his sound, and his etheric voice, while allowing a subtle disco-funk through in a memorable drum section.
In the meantime, The Weeknd's upcoming album is close, and we can't wait to hear it!
