The Weeknd announced his new album “Starboy LP” earlier today and shared the cover with a new haircut to boot. Tonight, we get the first single off his upcoming 3rd album featuring Daft Punk! Expect Abel’s new 18 track LP to drop November 25th. Interestingly, the Apple Music stream has a track you can’t play called “False Alarm,” which will most likely be the next single to drop soon. For now, listen to the self-titled track “Starboy” below by downloading the Funk Flex App for iOS & Android for free.
The Weeknd Announces New Album “STARBOY”
It’s officially Abel season. After a recent collab with Cashmere Cat, an appearance with Daft Punk in the studio and some cryptic tweets about something possibly coming in the fall, we now have our answer of what it is. Weeknd took to his Instagram to announce his new album titled “STARBOY.” No official word on when the project is dropping, but this is big news considering the massive success “Beauty Behind The Madness” took in. One has to wonder, could this be a more EDM album than R&B? Weeknd has even said this will be his best sounding project to date, with a new transformation as an artist. Check out the cover below and stay tuned for more from The Weeknd.

The Weeknd Possibly Working On A Collab With Daft Punk
An EDM website YourEDM made the connection from a Billboard Interview where Republic Records A&R Wendy Goldstein said The Weeknd and Daft Punk were working together. Goldstein said in the roundtable interview, ““We have a session coming up in two days with The Weeknd and Daft Punk.” A couple months have gone by and still no song, but, last Wednesday The Weeknd posted a picture to his Facebook wall from he studio with two silver toy figures that look just like Daft Punk sitting on top of a speaker. I’m no genius, but if you ask me, that looks like a precursor to a collab song coming soon. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available. Check out the photo below from Abel’s Facebook.
