The first single from The Weeknd's new LP Starboy is here - and it features French electro legends Daft Punk.
Over the summer reports emerged suggesting Daft Punk and The Weeknd, aka Abel Tesfaye, would be joining forces. Turns out they weren't just rumours after all.
Last month Tesfaye also released a collaboration with Cashmere Cat and Francis and The Lights.
Starboy is released 25 November via XO/Republic. Tesfaye dropped his Beauty Behind The Madness record in 2015.
