Nov 25, 2016If you are only looking for Trilogy-like songs, you will be disappointed. However, the album is a masterpiece in modern pop music and there are plenty of songs that rank among the best songs the Weeknd. Stand out has to be Secrets, which is a beautiful pop song with a dark undertone.

Jul 25, 2017Desde que ouvi starboy pela primeira vez já senti o impacto dessa nova era, não tem uma música nesse album que não vicie, felizmente melhor album masculino de 2016,

Mar 20, 2020Despite the obvious filler songs Starboy is a joy to listen to with plenty of diversity.

Nov 25, 2016Definitely his least dark album. Comparatively, not dark at all. I like Trilogy and all too but I embrace this change too. Those who absolutely can't will probably hate this album.
-
Nov 25, 2016A mix between The Trilogy and BBTM, with A little Kissland. A match made in heaven... Prince and David Bowie would have loved this album. I recommend this album for all!
-
Nov 25, 2016Great album by The Weeknd... He has some experimental sounds in this album like "False Alarm" for example and he has some groovy ass sounds like "Secrets" and "Rockin". I definitely recommend this album.

Nov 26, 2016Um hinario desses, primeiro que o cd tem 18 musicas e mesmo assim consegue prender a atenção de quem o escuta de uma forma surpreendente, todas as musicas muito bem escritas e muito bem produzidas.
Esse cd entra facilmente em um dos melhores do ano e como sempre o THE WEEKND SALVANDO O POP MASCULINO -

Nov 25, 2016This album is a big masterpiecei¡ in the modern pop music. Full of songs that could be easily hits, surprised for the album. I have been loving The Weeknd for years, but now finally I can define myself as a fan of Abel after listening to Starboy several times since it came out a few hours ago.

Nov 25, 2016After a thorough listen, I didn't understand how I should react to this album. Was it good? Was it bad? Was it just disappointing? After multiple hours spent trying to decide how I felt about it, I realized one thing. It's lit af fam.

Nov 25, 2016Killing his old style has let out an entirely different beast. The Weeknd's "Starboy" is wild and explosive, jumping from bangers (Starboy, Six Feet Under) to R&B slow jams (True Colors) to pop gold (Love To Lay, I Feel It Coming). Great album full of amazing singles.
-
Nov 25, 2016Nice to know The Weeknd is improving his music, I've always found him nice, but this time he made something that I really fell in love with. The lead single happens to be the first song and from this point you already get a massive hit and vibing rhythm, I can't even describe how I loved it.
-
Dec 4, 2016Probably the most experimental album by The Weeknd, himself. If I'm disappointed? Hell no.
It's very clear that since "Beauty Behind The Madness" he'll not only focus in only one type of sound, and he's not afraid to do it. Even tho he's known by his dark sounding songs and all, it is very interesting to see and listen to him doing something more light. Not bad, Abel. Not bad! -

Nov 27, 2016An amazing piece of work. A beautiful yet dark album. While some songs has a more pop feel, he still comes back to the eerie R&B sound he is known for. Auto-tune was unnecessary for someone with his voice, but works well. Amazing melodies, and vocal performance, and beautiful writing.
-
Nov 26, 2016Un grandioso regreso del exitoso The Weeknd. Los sonidos R&B/Soul fusionados con otros géneros hacen de este la mejor entrega de The Weeknd hasta la fecha.
-
Nov 26, 2016it's just like, if RAM and Yeezus have a son and they call him the weeknd, and the boy grown up to become a MTFK starboy!!! yes is the best album of 2016!!!
-
Nov 27, 2016Rich in sound, but a lack of artistry. This album by The Weeknd is refreshing and something new and therefore a good album, which will probably be a great commercial succes, but not really an artistic succes.
-
Nov 26, 2016huge effort made by Canadian act the weeknd. sounds familiar to his previous works but with a glimpse of fresh beats. this is by far my favorite album of 2016.

Nov 25, 2016The Weeknd is back and doing what he does best, make chill music based on edgy things like drugs and sex while sounding like Michael Jackson reincarnated.
-
Nov 26, 2016The album overall is pretty good. There are a couple songs like False Alarm and Secrets that just don't fit in. At the same time, there are certain songs like All I Know and Party Monster that I could listen to all day. I don't know if Stargirl Interlude was unfinished or not, but it was still satisfactory. I recommend, The Weeknd is shaping between a Frank Ocean and Michael Jackson.
-
Nov 25, 2016Starboy consistently delivers as a medium of dark, immediate pop anthems and does so without even breaking a sweat. However, as with some of his recent work, the songs' effect don't seem to last more than a hazy night.

Dec 19, 2016The Weeknd is a self-described pop star, and proves his worth on Starboy, an album with plenty to love.

Dec 5, 2016It may showcase a cleaner sound, both in lyrical content and production, but its value for money at eighteen tracks comes at the cost of coherence.
