The interplay of The Weeknd’s and Daft Punk’s musical acumen figures again on My Dear Melancholy, where Daft Punk’s Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo receives a production credit on the six-song project’s fifth track, “Hurt You.” Techno visionary Gesaffelstein and Skrillex are likewise represented in terms of authorial credit - Gesaffelstein appears as both a featured artist and a producer on “I Was Never There,” and “Hurt You.” Skrillex’s influence in the making of the album’s third listing, “Wasted Times,” is apparent in his production credit thereon. Watch The Weeknd discuss his new album Starboy with Zane Lowe.

His Starboy: Legend of the Fall tour kicks off in February 2017 in Vancouver. Chance the Rapper, Skepta and The Weeknd headline Wireless Festival 2017. With the announcement of a new album Starboy, dropping on November 25, and two new singles, it's no surprise a tour announcemnet has followed.

The considerable commercial success of Starboy could be credited in part to The Weeknd’s collaboration with Daft Punk on two tracks of the album, “I Feel It Coming,” and the album’s namesake, “Starboy.” The Weeknd is making his 2016 as memorable as his 2015. The Weeknd’s surprise release of My Dear Melancholy marks the vocalist’s first full-length production since 2016’s Starboy, The Weeknd’s widely acclaimed third studio album. With his new album Starboy just around the corner, The Weeknd shares two new tracks, 'Party Monster' and 'I Feel It Coming.' The latter song links him up once again with Daft Punk, who also.
