The Weeknd's third album found him torching his own mystique with Daft Punk's chrome-plated production, transforming from enigmatic crooner into arena-sized pop architect. The title track's pulsing synthwave announced a deliberate pivot towards maximalism, while collaborations with Kendrick Lamar and Future expanded his sonic palette beyond the nocturnal R&B that made his name.
Eighteen tracks proved excessive, yet the album's fusion of Prince-ly funk, European electropop and trap rhythms dominated 2016's commercial landscape, with Die For You becoming an unlikely streaming phenomenon years after release.
