The Weeknd's announced his new record Starboy, which he's been teasing this summer, and revealed the artwork.
Abel Tesfaye only released latest LP Beauty Behind The Madness last year, but is eschewing the huge pop cycle to release its follow up. Starboy is released 25 November via XO/Republic.
According to reports Tesfaye's been working with Daft Punk on the record. Last month he released a collaboration with Cashmere Cat and Francis and The Lights.
The artwork is by visual king Nabil. Hear the first single now.
