Abel Tesfaye, better known as the Weeknd, has released a new collaboration with French electronic duo Daft Punk entitled “Starboy.” The song not only serves as the title track for the Weeknd’s upcoming album, a follow-up to last year’s Beauty Behind the Madness, it also marks the first new music from Daft Punk since 2013. Listen via Apple Music here:

The title track’s release is timely, considering it name drops a certain A-lister who is currently in the middle of a high-profile divorce: “Brad Pitt/ Legend of the fall, took the year like a bandit.” Almost certainly just a coincidence, but still. Tesfaye also unveiled the new album’s cover art on social media, revealing that he has changed up his signature hairstyle, something which is newsworthy in and of itself.
