Starboy - Great beat at the beginning. Vocals kick in and the song is flowing good. Great sounds made by Daft Punk on this one. Bass is a little heavy, but made up for it with the piano and other synths that kick in. Definitely a hit. ****
Party Monster - Nice eerie sound at the beginning and great mellow vocals that kick in shortly after. Very melodic when the hook and chorus kicks in. Really digging this track. I won't be surprised if this is The Weeknd's fans favorite B side or future hit. Great sounds. *****
False Alarm - A questionable intro at the beginning, but made since when The Weeknd starts laying his vocals. When the chorus kicks it you get a feel for a drop that turns at well for this song. Fast tempo drums work well with the vocals on this one. Outro is a bit weird. ***
Reminder - Great intro hitting the first verse. Makes you want to bop your head up and down. Bass gets even more deep in the chorus and your heart will be melting. This is an incredible track! *****
Rockin' - Song begins in a way that makes you want to shake your body. Instrumentals hit with the verse and expecting something better mixed, but I'll take it. Still want to dance. Hook and chorus gets you bumpin and your ready to party. Great song for getting jiggy with it on the dance floor. ****
Secrets - A very mysterious intro and verse. So romantic too. Will make the ladies hearts melt. Powerful chorus that brings the song home. Great for a next single for pop radio. Truly an amazing track. *****
True Colors - Sounds like a R&B style song. Very mellow and heart felt. The tempo feels like it drops with this one. Great for some slow dancing with your lady. A romantic hit that R&B fans will love to enjoy. ****
Stargirl Interlude - Indie rock type vibes here sang by Lana Del Rey. Great way to begin the next track and nothing like a little rock vibes to intrigue the listener. ****
Sidewalks - Getting all bluesy and rocky up in this joint. Makes you want to jam by bopping your head and the same time rockin out like a rock star. Great flow with the rap and creativity to the max on this one. Favorite B side so far. Kendrick Lamar is boss too on this track. *****
Six Feet Under - More guitars and you can feel the album intensifying as the bass from the kick kicks in. Great vibes all the way through. Digging how this track is going. Another club banger and this album is on a roll when it comes to potential future hits. *****
Love To Lay - Some killer drums at the beginning and it gets mellowly with the keys at the same time The Weeknd's vocals. A song all about love. The Weeknd will melt the ladies hearts with this. Chorus gets a little bit more progressive perfectly. Love the vibes with this one. *****
A Lonely Night - An intro and singing that remind me of a Michael Jackson type hit, but for the year 2016/2017. Great vocals and an instrumental that will bring you to a magical place. Great track and awesome album so far. The Weeknd is bringing it. *****
Attention - The intro will make you want to close your eyes in harmony. Great vocals that are to the point for this instrumental. Amazing chorus that has a synth that will wow you. Great masterpiece here. The Weeknd can serenade the ladies with such an amazing voice and such an amazing song. *****
Ordinary Life - A slow pace beginning before the kick and vocals kick in. The hook rises the track to another level. Chorus is impactful and full of life. ****
Nothing Without You - Great mysterious synth and guitar to begin with a great bass drum to add to the vocals hitting at the same time. Great melodic tune that has all the makings for a future pop radio hit. Chorus that shines bright and makes you think about relationships at the same time. Great song that anybody wanting or having a relationship will dig. *****
All I Know - Nice oohs by The Weeknd to begin the track. When he starts singing he crabs your attention with the best of ease. Passion consumes this track in every melodic way. Great kicks kick in later on before the chorus. A tad on the bassie side, but I let it slide. Great lyrics in the chorus and a track that will make the ladies go nuts. Future does a good job rapping on this as well. ****
Die For You - A great classic sound of hip hop instrumental for this one. Lyrics that will make you smile from the love coming from The Weeknd. A song that will take you on a journey of love and keep your heart pounding with happiness. Such a feel good song and filled with love that everyone needs. *****
I Feel It Coming - A great way to end the album. Song gives you clarity and feels you with love and embrace at the same time. This song will make you dream and believe and in the same time love someone. I recommend this track to anyone. *****
Rating: ****1/2
An awesome album that is worth any music fan to pick up. The Weeknd did such a phenomenal job on this album. Kudos to the producers and writers that made this album possible.
