Hear the Weeknd's new track with Daft Punk, Starboy

This article is more than 7 years old

The R&B star has teamed up with the Gallic kings of dance music for his latest single

The Weeknd has unveiled a new track, recorded with Daft Punk. Starboy is the title track of his new album, due to be released on 25 November. News of the collaboration had been leaked in the summer, when Wendy Goldstein, an executive at the Weeknd’s label, Island/Republic, told an event hosted by Billboard: “We have a session coming up in two days with the Weeknd and Daft Punk, and I’ve always been a Daft Punk fan.”

The new album will feature 18 tracks, if the iTunes preorder is accurate and its cover is identical to the single’s artwork, bar the removal of the “The Weeknd Ft Daft Punk tag.”

The Weeknd’s 2015 album Beauty Behind the Madness, was a No 1 hit in both the US and UK, with the single Can’t Feel My Face going platinum around the world
