The deluxe edition of "Starboy" includes the Ariana Grande-assisted remix of "Die For You."

The Weeknd is unloading a whole lot of music for his fans these days. As we approach the 10-year anniversary of his debut studio album, Kiss Land, the singer has undoubtedly provided fans with a ton of content as he closes out the Dawn FM era. On top of an upcoming television series with HBO, he blessed fans with Live At SoFi Stadium earlier this year – a live concert album from his Los Angeles date on the After Hours Til Dawn tour.

Though he hasn’t provided an update on when we could expect a new album, it seems as though he’s at a place in his career where he wants to unload records out of the vault. He’s hinted at the release of  Starboy (Deluxe) over the past few months. Earlier this year, he and Ariana Grande teamed up, once again, to bless fans with the “Die For You” remix. The duo’s collaborative streak together extended further as they reconnected for a cut off of Starboy.

The Weeknd - Starboy (Deluxe)

The latest collab between The Weeknd and Ariana Grande was only a taste of what the Canadian singer had in store. This week, the Dawn FM star finally blessed fans with the release of Starboy (Deluxe). The deluxe edition packs another three songs including the “Die For You (Remix).” Additionally, the project also includes the Kygo-assisted remix of “Starboy,” which the Norwegian producer previously released independently before seeing an official release. The deluxe also includes the “Reminder (Remix)” ft. A$AP Rocky and Young Thug, which was also previously released on streaming services. 

The release of Starboy (Deluxe) comes after another incredible award show night for the Toronto singer. The Weeknd swept the Juno Awards last night, winning five out of the six categories he was nominated him. He took home the award for Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the year while “Sacrifice” took home Single Of The Year. Dawn FM also scored in the Album Of The Year and Pop Album Of The Year categories. We’ll keep you posted on any more updates on new releases from The Weeknd. Check out the deluxe edition of Starboy above.
