Daft Punk is so underrated on this track.. Simple but stunning

[@abdide4992]

@SC 8 no it's nott

[@somerandomweebb6876]

SC 8 daft punk may have done the instrumentals for him but Abel also produced it too plus Abel wrote the song as-well you gotta give credit where it’s due, not discredit.

[@tsayin2662]

I really thought daft punk was gonna have like a verse of their own but they are the ad libs and the chorus

[@makara5792]

@@tsayin2662 And the production of course

[@tahabinsaeed712]

Bro the synth/music production is by daft punk, which is the limelight of the song

[@jessetawasha9469]

this was a reinvention! the person that was killed at the beginning was abel (the weeknd) with his hairstyle from beauty behind the madness, which was the album that was released before starboy. with beauty behind the madness, abel was taking a more mainstream r+b approach as opposed to kissland and the trilogy mixtapes, but with starboy (starboy is an album too. the song you just reacted to is the lead single from that album), he goes even more mainstream and is almost making more pop-ish and radio friendly songs. so in the song he is reinventing himself from r+b to more of a pop star. a lot of fans didn’t like this reinvention so he went back to a more dark r+b sound like his older stuff on his mixtape that he released after starboy which was called my dear melancholy. and after that he released after hours, which you have heard two songs from. after hours is more 80’s synth, pop, and r+b mixed together. an interesting song for you to cover would be ‘rolling stone’ off of his mixtape called ‘thursday’. it was one of his first projects and the song is based around acoustics with minimal production. in the song he talks about how as he grows in popularity he will change the style of his music, and hopes that his fans will still support him. i loved your reaction as always! xotwod :)

[@habboFreak58]

everything you said is right! I just love our Community :)

[@jonathancruz2652]

Xotwod!!

[@justinnegron4843]

All correct!! But Rolling Stone was also about his drug use and using with other women

[@CrazeeAdam]

This is not only a vocally striking song, but one of the most striking music videos in the past decade

[@benjamint]

Couple of songs i recommend: - The Hills - The remix of “Rambo (Last Blood)” with Bryson Tiller. It’s one of his greatest verses/feature of all time - His cover of MJ’s “Dirty Diana” - Wicked Games - In Your Eyes - Call out my name

[@VaibhavKrishnaswamy]

Love Rambo Abel pops off on his verse

[@StefLuvsFoo]

The Weeknd is a genius. And his video directors always are as well.

[@schmikemilok]

I don’t see why people say startboy is overrated, personally I find it amazing. The vibe is so chill and safe, never a skip for me.

[@lijolitty5678]

It is one of my favourite songs

[@jishu1998]

No one said it's overrated

[@rhannatls8750]

The weeknd is amazing, so glad that you are digging into him ☆☆☆☆☆

[@MetalGuyReacts]

His stuff is soo good! What a voice and I'm loving the mesh of all sorts of styles!

[@rhannatls8750]

@@MetalGuyReacts told you to react him sooner 🗣🗣🗣🗣🇧🇷 love your reactions 🇧🇷

[@AriNoelle1]

Every Album he reinvents himself. Its a common theme where he kills his old self in a video He calls each reinvention “Chapters” and his fans always know when hes going to begin a new chapter because he will wipe out his instagram posts, etc

[@westont98]

He does another song with Daft Punk, I Feel It Coming and it's just as amazing. Daft Punk really pulls that song into a timeless sound.

[@wildwestreviews4622]

The Weeknd+Daft Punk=Greatness, great reactions!

[@jordanaustin95]

Starboy was his 3rd studio album where he basically created his most pop/mainstream sounding album of his career so far that really exposed his talent to a lot of the newer audience. If you go to the beginning of his career you can see a big transformation in the style of music he made, all of which is fantastic imo, but his early music is very dark, depressing, but arguably the greatest music he's ever made. He's transformed into a pop star and the height of that pop sound was right here in this album. A lot of people weren't too aware of his music until this album (minus the few radio hits from BBTM his previous album)(and minus og XO fans lol✊✊). He cut his iconic hairstyle off in a way of reinventing himself to go with the new style Starboy displayed. But after this he has since gone back and made music more reminiscent of his older work, but done in a completely new way, cinematically better than ever before and a combination of all his styles into one. After Hours in my mind is his greatest display of artistry as a cohesive record, and he has said the same thing.

[@LumberjackRy]

4th studio album, Beauty Behind the Madness was 3.

[@matthewbanton7077]

@@LumberjackRy nah, kiss land was 1st, bbtm was 2nd. trilogy wasn’t an album in its own right, just a compilation of the mixtapes.

[@monstie2795]

@@matthewbanton7077 true

[@Shime]

Try listen to some stuff from the Trilogy or Kissland

[@shashvithdayal606]

Yeah he's right.... In trilogy react to wicked games first....then you'll get to know the vibe of the whole album (trilogy)

[@getusome6776]

yes

[@yamilakhailemariam249]

I heard 3 of the weekends songs , and now I am his ultimate fan

[@dkarmusic5424]

It basically shows how he killed his old self in the beginning and has brought out a new version. The starboy version of Abel (the Weeknd) represents him going Hollywood/ mainstream and selling out for everything you see and he talks about in the video (money, women, fame, cars, etc.) and in the song he says “look what you done” in the chorus which I think is him talking to his old self for going down this path of losing his true sound and his soul in exchange he became the biggest pop star artist of the generation. He chose the path of being a celebrity and the riches of the world but lost control and his true passion that’s what I get out of this video

[@tyllenesroom6632]

Abel basically reinvents himself in all of his albums. This was more of a radio play type of album but still one of my favorites. After Hours is his newest album which if absolutely phenomenal i highly recommend "faith" to listen to its a whole other level of fantastic. Ive been an XO fan for years and he is one of the best artists my ears have had the pleasure hearing lol

[@annalaurenciamayer95]

I cannot unhear the version were the song goes faster after everytime he says "ah"

[@jenniferdesouza5082]

The way Abel uses storytelling in his music is amazing. It all conmects

[@jodashnarrandes2106]

You need to react to The Weeknd - I feel it coming

[@SMScorx89]

Now THAT sounds more like a Daft Punk song.

[@wvmountaineer80]

daft punk is amazing

[@shashvithdayal606]

Great videos ...keep it up!!!!

[@lindahf1]

Brilliant song, the weend is fantastic

[@heather_nott_ever816]

Have you reacted to False Alarm? It is a very graphic video, violence wise, but the song is a straight banger!

[@tmoney671]

So glad you’re loving the Weeknd! You needa listen and react to I feel it coming Ft. Daft Punk!

[@viniciusf3709]

He got the references. Very smart guy. Love yours reactions.

[@Priyanka-kx7hh]

Heyyy idk if you'll see this but im a new subscriber thanks to you for posting the weeknd content love him so much was hoping you can listen to Valerie one of his old gems❤️❤️🥰 all his music is great but if u want an old song Valerie is amazing he also hits some notes where he sounds similar to Michael Jackson 😍❤️❤️

[@justingonzalez8309]

Loving these reactions man. The Weeknd is goated, listen to his early stuff before the fame.. that’s where the gold is at.

[@TrvisXXIII]

That video to me is literally his album cover come to life. Do his mania music video next.

[@rivalli_9545]

Nice video bro

[@bi11yOO]

Echoes of Silence and i’ll subscribe!!! 🙂

[@MetalGuyReacts]

I don’t negotiate for subs 😆😉😉🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@letsgotomarsman]

The weeknd- snowchild Is a must reaction ! Was done by the first black owned anime studio

[@k.dinesh1417]

The starting 1 minute of the video is to tell that his old era is ending and he's starting a new era from the song STARBOY...

[@Jjoker74]

The Weeknd is amazing! Check out the live stripped down version by Brandon Urie, so awesome.

[@nelsonventura2900]

If you want a sense of who he is as an artist around the time of starboy i got you! Watch MANIA by the weeknd, it is a music video he created with several different songs from that album! I would also recommemd just listen to each album amd react to it! You will enjoy the evolution of him from underground artist to starboy now.

[@Ngatikuripup29]

Good call dude

[@lchasel]

Its nice seeing you enjoy his music for the first time, its a rabbit hole bro. This song was HUGE a few years ago.

[@Matt-fy2fl]

I love the reactions, you'll see me on any video of you reacting to the weeknd, so PLEASE go though his whole discography, in order if possible, makes it much better

[@talmateisen8408]

Man I wish I was here 5 months ago I would reccomend heartless if you haven’t done so

[@olihvpd2963]

Nice

[@alikohan8406]

the weekns so good

[@sergio5440]

supposedly the Weeknd made a deal with the devil to reach his fame in beauty behind the madness, from the 'i cant feel my face' music video where people were ignoring his talent up until the devil put him in flames and people started noticing his talent, he tries to kill the devil in tell your friends, but like things work with the devil he keeps making you come back to him just like in the hills music video. In this music video Abel is killing his old self with the old hair, he takes the glowing cross and destroys his awards cabinet and beauty behind the madness awards as a symbolism of him wanting to take it all back just to free from the devil again. in real life he says how he's not allowed to regret his choices he needs to keep moving forward as things generally work with the devil you cant go back to how things were, in ordinary life if you listen/ read the lyrics after the first few lines you understand it all.

[@erikle9087]

React to the King of the Fall

[@rachelblackwell5207]

Omg yes!

[@joseguzman4157]

Listen to some his older music like his trilogy mixtapes its so good

Yoo do a Riz La Vie- Saturn Reaction!

[@Madithemuggle]

Have you seen/reacted to Billie and Finneas breaking down the production of Bad Guy? I think you’d really enjoy it, and I’d love to see your reaction and hear your thoughts! They’re musical geniuses, and it’s really showcased in this video. Their ideas are so creative!

[@Blackness2599]

I’m starting to like the video that he is watching

[@rrroj]

Could you do J. Cole - G.O.M.D. ? (I‘d rather say J. Cole - no role modelz, but it doesn‘t have a music video. I went trough your playlist and thought a bigger variety would be cool tho) Great reactions btw

[@rfqif]

"Reminder" and "Heartless" is a must-watch bro, I'm digging your reaction about Blackpink too, by the way keep up the good work bro

[@MysterHype]

Starboy was a Fuc*in Bomb ,Not Weeknd need Grammy it's Grammy needs Weeknd 🇺🇸🔥

[@chago8013]
