Just a month ago, we were made aware of the fact that Daft Punk and The Weeknd were working together, and we’ve now seen the results of this collaboration.
Coming alongside the announcement that The Weeknd’s third album, Starboy, will be released on November 25th, the title track from the album has been released.
The almost 4-minute track sees Daft Punk take up the role of backing musicians, in what is a disappointing departure from their usually groundbreaking and innovative style.
While The Weeknd’s leading vocals are what one would expect of him and still quite decent, the track is somewhat middle-of-the-road considering the calibre of the artists involved in this track.
While Daft Punk have been relatively quiet since the release of their 2013 album Random Access Memories, The Weeknd is still riding high on the success of his 2015 sophomore album Beauty Behind The Madness.
Whether we’re going to see more big name collaborations on his new album remains to be seen, but we certainly hope they’re more interesting than ‘Starboy’ is. While we wait for Starboy the album to drop in November, check out ‘Starboy’ the song below,
