The project wasnвЂ™t quite finished yet, but if he stays the course itвЂ™ll be the best project heвЂ™s ever put out. It was clear to me that this isnвЂ™t just the album The Weeknd has always wanted to make itвЂ™s the album weвЂ™ve always wanted him to make. It became nearly impossible to find something else to listen to. That statement would linger in my brain for days. вЂњItвЂ™s the album IвЂ™ve always wanted to make,вЂќ Abel said. Drenched-suit, grinding-on-the-girl/boy-of-your-dreams party records. (Not вЂњcosplay,вЂќ as Abel put it.) That sort of retro thing is having a moment right now in pop music, but these records are new. Quincy Jones meets Giorgio Moroder meets the best-night-of-your-fucking-life party records. Like real-deal, illuminated-white-tiles-on-the-floor party records. The new project is packed with party records. The music hit the studio like a Mack truck. IвЂ™m not a heavy drinker, as much as I used to be. ThereвЂ™s chatter on the internet that youвЂ™re sober or sober lite. To be able to just like go on a walk and not being in a fucking SUV. And I just love being in normal situations, man. I just try not to bring attention to myself. ThatвЂ™s why I donвЂ™tвЂ¦ I try not to do too much. вЂњBlinding LightsвЂќ is obviously not going to have him disappear anytime soon.Дo you ever feel guilty, when you date someone who isnвЂ™t famous, for bringing so much attention and celebritydom into their life? Yes. I think itвЂ™s me removing The Weeknd from the world, but he still finds his way back.

I think a lot of people are like, вЂњOh, heвЂ™s suicidal.вЂќ ItвЂ™s not that. What is your fascination with killing The Weeknd? ItвЂ™s crazy, right? I think itвЂ™s me removing The Weeknd from Abel. In most of your videos, The Weeknd is murdered, beaten up, et cetera. Jacket, price upon request, and turtleneck, $1,090, by Amiri. Mind you, nobody knew who The Weeknd was. A good friend of mine hooked me up with a job at American Apparel, and I was folding clothes there when somebody at the store played the song. It was the first song that came out from The Weeknd.

The second instance was when вЂњWhat You NeedвЂќ came out. He heard me sing and was like, вЂњYou should sing for Canadian Idol.вЂќДid you try to go on Canadian Idol ? No! But then I started singing to girls and I was getting great feedback.

It wasnвЂ™t until I met La Mar, my best friend. And I would get in trouble for it because it was inappropriate at the time. When did you first hear your voice and know that it was special? I used to get penalized for singing when I was younger, because I always wanted to sing. Especially R&B, which is a genre that is heavily influenced by how the artist looks. And I felt like it was the most unbiased reaction you can get to the music, because you couldnвЂ™t put a face to it. With House of Balloons, nobody knew what I looked like. Maybe there is a deeper issue with that, but I feel like with me itвЂ™s never been about the artist and the image of the artist. What was the original reason for your anonymity? I donвЂ™t know. But I feel like because IвЂ™m not dark, I was able to channel it and put it into my music and into my art. IвЂ™ve used those dark times as inspiration for my art. My art is dark, and IвЂ™ve gone through dark times. Watch his performance and stream Starboy below.How do you feel about people thinking youвЂ™re a dark person? I am not dark. The Weeknd also appeared on The Tonight Show to perform a вЂњI Feel It ComingвЂќ and вЂњStarboyвЂќ medley. Starboy begins sounding like an action thriller, its opening songs being the title track, вЂњParty MonsterвЂќ and dance-punk turn вЂњFalse Alarm.вЂќВ Yet its conclusion is вЂњI Feel It ComingвЂќ - an actual romantic note, coming from an artist who has sworn time and time again that heвЂ™d never be a heartthrob. Its DeBarge-meets- Off the Wall production, featuring input by pop savants Max Martin and Savan Kotecha, also soundsВ luxe.Д«ut what is most striking, at least on first listen, is how much the Weeknd has changed since even last yearвЂ™s Beauty Behind the Madness. Of his entire discography, Starboy has the highest profile cameos,В including Daft Punk ( the title track, вЂњI Feel It ComingвЂќ), Lana Del Rey ( вЂњParty Monster,вЂќ вЂњStargirl InterludeвЂќ), Future (вЂњSix Feet Under,вЂќ вЂњAll I KnowвЂќ) and Kendrick Lamar (вЂњSidewalksвЂќ). Today (November 25) The WeekndВ released his blockbuster of a new album, Starboy.
