Starboy is the third studio album by Canadian singer and songwriter The Weeknd. It was released on November 25, 2016, by XO and Republic Records. The album features guest appearances from Daft Punk, Lana Del Rey, Future, and Kendrick Lamar. The album was supported by three singles: "Starboy", "I Feel It Coming" and "Party Monster".

Starboy received generally positive reviews from critics and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with 348,000 album-equivalent units, including 209,000 traditional album sales in the first week. It also debuted at number one on Billboard's Canadian Albums Chart.

Background

After the commercial success of his album Beauty Behind the Madness in 2015, The Weeknd hinted at the release of his third studio album on March 12, 2016, with his Instagram calling it the next "chapter" to his music.[7] On August 24, 2016, The Weeknd was confirmed by the Republic Records executive vice president Wendy Goldstein to be collaborating with the French electronic dance duo Daft Punk, during an interview with Billboard.[8] On September 7, 2016, the album was confirmed to be in production from an interview with VMAN, with influence taken from Prince, The Smiths, Talking Heads and Bad Brains.[9] On September 21, 2016, the album overall and its title was officially announced,[10] with its release slated for November 25, 2016.[11]

Artwork

The album's sleeve is photographed and designed by Nabil Elderkin.[12] It features The Weeknd with shorter hair in a crouched pose with a cross necklace and is highlighted by streaks of blue neon across a neon red background. The top of the picture says the album's name in yellow lettering and the edges of the packaging are grained by the blue neon.

On September 22, 2016, the album's first [[Starboy (song)|single of the same name]] was released digitally on music stores and streaming services. The song features guest appearances from French electronic duo Daft Punk. The music video for the track premiered on September 28.[13] The song peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming The Weeknd's third number one single.[14]

"False Alarm" was released as the first promotional single from Starboy on September 29, 2016.[15] The song peaked at number 55 on the Billboard Hot 100.[14]

"I Feel It Coming" was first released to British contemporary hit radio on November 24, 2016,[5] being serviced to rhythmic contemporary radio on December 6, 2016, as the album's second single.[16][17] The song has so far peaked at number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100.[14]

"Party Monster" was released to urban contemporary radio on December 6, 2016, as the album's third single.[6] It peaked at number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100, on the album's release week.[14]

Performances

The Weeknd was a musical guest on the season 42 season premiere of Saturday Night Live. He promoted the album by performing both "Starboy" and "False Alarm" and starred in a brief cameo on the "Weeknd Update" sketch, where he acknowledged his new haircut.[18] On November 20, 2016, The Weeknd sang "Starboy" at the 2016 American Music Awards.[19] Four days later, The Weeknd appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to perform both "I Feel It Coming" and "Starboy".[20] On December 6, he performed at the 2016 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on CBS.[21]

On November 25, 2016, all of the album's tracks played throughout The Weeknd's interview with Zane Lowe for Beats 1.[22]

Short film

On November 23, 2016, The Weeknd released a 12 minute-long short film in promotion of the album, directed by Grant Singer, who also directed the "Starboy" music video. Named Mania (stylized as M A N I A),[23] it features the songs such as "All I Know" featuring Future, "Sidewalks" featuring Kendrick Lamar, "Secrets", "Party Monster" (with background vocals from Lana Del Rey) and "I Feel It Coming" featuring Daft Punk.[24]

Starboy received generally positive reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 67, based on 25 reviews.[26] Annie Zaleski of The A.V. Club said, "The record is a few songs too long, and it loses steam as it progresses. But such imperfections are par for the course: He'd rather express everything he's feeling than put forth an airbrushed or idealized version of himself. In that sense, Starboy is one of the most confident releases of the year, one bold enough to reveal the cracks in The Weeknd's façade for the sake of resonant art."[28] Michael Madden of Consequence of Sound said, "It would help if more of the album were idiosyncratic that way, but as is, Starboy is still the sound of Tesfaye knowing he has what it takes to be a major figure in pop music for a very long time."[36] Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph said, "What is surprising is how seamless and integrated the sound is--a really luxurious, supple groove of sparkling electronica and sinuous, melodic vocals."[3] Nolan Feeney of Entertainment Weekly said, "While musicians writing about coping with newfound celebrity is one of pop's oldest tropes, the Weeknd avoids the usual clichés with observations and anecdotes that feel specific and genuine."[29]

Ryan B. Patrick of Exclaim! said, "Those wishing for a return to the Trilogy days will have to bit a tad longer; across 18 tracks, the Weeknd proves he's ready for primetime here, but there's still a sense of feeling out the new parameters."[37] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times said, "Some of the most exciting songs on Starboy are the least expected. ... But brevity is almost too central here: Some songs ("Love to Lay," "Nothing Without You") have barely any verses at all, largely relying on pre-choruses and choruses."[38] Mehan Jayasuriya of Pitchfork said, "Starboy, by way of contrast [to Trilogy], feels more like an opportunistic compilation of B-sides than an album. Who is the Weeknd? At this point, even the man behind the curtain might not know."[33] Andy Kellman of AllMusic said, "The productions--the majority of which involve Doc McKinney and/or Cirkut, low-lighted by maneater dance-punk dud "False Alarm"—are roughly as variable in style as they are in quality. When pared down to its ten best songs, Starboy sounds like Tesfaye's most accomplished work."[27] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian said, "There are things worth hearing on Starboy. It seems to capture an artist in a slightly awkward state of flux, unsure whether to cravenly embrace the kind of pop stardom that gets you on the shortlist for the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice awards or throw caution to the wind and do something more interesting artistically. Starboy hedges its bets and tries to do both. You can see why, but it makes for a curiously uneven album."[30]

Scott Glaysher of HipHopDX said, "Starboy won't immortalize his legacy just yet but it will strengthen a once desolate Toronto kid's placement in a musical sect he probably couldn't even have ever dreamed of being in."[4] Kevin Ritchie of Now said, "At 18 tracks, Starboy delivers some pop gems, but its last third falters with a string of schmaltzy ballads eventually rescued by the Daft Punk-assisted closer, an enjoyable bit of retro lite-funk that wouldn't have sounded out of place on Random Access Memories."[39] Mosi Reeves of Rolling Stone said, "Despite an overlong hour-plus runtime and surplus of filler, Starboy does have highlights. ... But for longtime fans that believe the Weeknd is one of the major R&B artists of the decade, Starboy will ultimately seem like a disappointment."[35] Jesse Cataldo of Slant Magazine said, "He remains an exceptionally talented vocalist, yet none of the many studio wizards represented in the album's by-committee structure is capable of wrenching him out of his usual morose rhythms. To be fair, none of them really try, playing to his basic talents while also coddling his laziest inclinations, swaddling songs in scintillating soundscapes that coat these sour centers in layers of sweetness."[40]

Complex placed Starboy at number 40 on their "50 Best Albums of 2016" year-end list,[41] while Billboard placed it at number 21,[42] and Variance Magazine ranked it at number 41.[43]

Commercial performance

Starboy debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with 348,000 album-equivalent units, of which 209,000 were pure album sales.[44] In the US, it was the third-largest debut sales week of 2016, the second-biggest week for album streams ever (behind Drake's Views), and is The Weeknd's second number one album.[44] As of January 1, 2017, Starboy has sold 904,000 album units in the United States.[45]
