11/14/2022 0 Comments The weekend starboy tracklist![]() ![]() Most of the collaborations are good, but, as always, Future is hit or miss. It's gotten a bit better since, but the great verses can't save the off putting choruses. Such is the case of ' False Alarm,' a song we didn't originally enjoy. In trying to become something different, there's always moments of awkward transition. The album treads away from the negatives of fame, too, taking in the extravagance of it all, another "fuck you" to the haters: ' Rockin'' has a lot of groove and sweet melodies that make the message about a fun relationship sound great, and Lana del Ray helps ' Stargirl Interlude' sound weird and oddly sensual as the lyrics call for the starboy's lover. Similarly, ' Sidewalks' is the story of The Weeknd's and Kendrick Lamar's upbringings, Lamar absolutely smashing his verse in the track, as he does. Its chill composition allows for The Weeknd to gracefully diss his haters. It becomes most apparent firstly in ' Reminder,' which is really a big "fuck you" to those labelling him as a sell-out for abandoning his darker influences. Starboy has a statement to deliver, however. The album ends on a sweet note, as well: ' Die For You' returning the dreamy vibes and combining it with the infectious flairs of previous tracks before Daft Punk returns for the finale ' I Feel It Coming,' bursting with funk. 'Lay' is a fun song, upbeat percussion driving the song powerfully throughout its length. Songs like ' Secrets' and ' True Colors' rings slowly and sweetly, while others like ' Love To Lay' go into fully infectious tones. There are plenty of moments on the record where a poppier atmosphere takes over. The bridges on the album really take many songs to another level - later on the record comes the punchy ' A Lonely Night.' This one has a lot more of a poppy flair, sweet melodies keeping the upfront synths bouncing until the bridge, where synths explode with huge amounts of bass for a huge experience. The song reaches an epic climax in its bridge, great melodies resonating hauntingly above The Weeknd's singing. The song follows up with the story of 'Starboy,' The Weeknd singing about his need for a girl who already has another man. ' Party Monster' follows through with a darker composition, sweet melodies ringing above dark synths. It's about grandiose but also about an internal anger, the chorus lines " Look what you've done / I'm a motherfuckin' starboy" ringing both proudly and with contempt. The song itself is a realization of fame, but negatively and positively. 'Starboy' is a good representation of the album to come, sensual and somewhat threatening at its core. The Weeknd and Daft Punk put together a very solid song. ![]() Perhaps its a new mix or just the context, but 'Starboy' sounds great, exceeding our original thoughts. The album begins with the eponymous single ' Starboy,' which admittedly sounds a lot better on the album that it does as a standalone single. Starboy is an album about fame and its intricacies. The Weeknd's new album Starboy shows a growth of his character and sound. ![]()
