- The Weeknd made a monster of an album with Starboy. Seriously from Starboy all the way through to I Feel It Coming, The Weeknd tells a truly epic and heartfelt story of his rebirth. This is less of a Starboy Video Essay or a Starboy Review, and more of a Mintrom Movies deep dive into Starboy and how The Weeknd created it.

The Weeknd has one of the most flawless discography and people will not appreciate him enough till it's too late.
Too late
It's way too late
people appreciate him cmon
this was me with daft punk
idk what ur talking about, he’s easily one of the biggest singers on the planet, and is absolutely appreciated
It’s crazy how Starboy still holds up to this day. It’s not a perfect album but definitely the building blocks for what would be After Hours
Kissland is the building blocks that would become After Hours, not StarBoy.
@@michaelstrickland1849 wrong, kissland is the building blocks for the dawn
i personally think After Hours is a perfect 10/10 album
@@topiasnaps wrong!!!!!!! the dawn is the building block for house of balloons!
@@jamalfuego wrong again, The Dawn is the building blocks for The Noise EP
It’s a certified classic album people’s biggest critique is it’s “pop” even tho the album is more hip hop, disco n R&B influence. Also news flash he is a pop star
Bro I read "Certified hood classic" 🤦🏽♂️😂
Not because it’s pop after hours is pretty much a synth pop album but the problem with albums like BBTM and Starboy is they lack cohesion and some of the tracks on BBTM and Starboy were just filler and shouldn’t have been on those records and made those albums sound more like mixtapes than actual studio LPS
@@mohahmed4304 i disagree i think BBTM is a 10 and his 5th best under dawn FM and the mixtapes and starboy is a 9 tied with AH
Yeah, at this point idk what the difference is. Its not extremely pop, its kinda like in the middle and his overall style was similar too. People nowadays just assume that more mainstream=worse art, even though that’s completely false! BBTM and Starboy are legendary albums you can’t tell me otherwise.
Idk I didn’t like a few of the tracks on it. There’s maybe 10 or 11 tracks (out of 18) that are great and replayable but the rest is just annoying filler to me. If the tracklist was cut down a bit I’d like it more
starboy is fucking amazing, but After Hours took it to a whole new level. I think it's the deepest and darkest album he's made, and it's the only album ever made that I personally find to be a perfect 10/10.
Nah man check out Echoes of Silence or Thursday, shit gets crazy dark
@@santos4566 I’ll check them out. I’ve slowly been listening to his older music and I’m loving it it
@@santos4566 Especially Echoes of Silence ( the song ) I never felt this lonely listening to The Weeknd
After hours is no where near his darkest album
@@john.garcia240 wouldn’t say nowhere near but I’d say it’s close to kissland and trilogy in terms of darkness
The Weekend is slowly but surely moving into legendary territory. His music will be timeless
Ordinary Life...is my favorite Weeknd song of all time. So underrated just like Faith from After Hours.
Still listen to ordinary life till this day!!
This was the first album that REALLY got me into The Weeknd. I had heard a few hit singles from Beauty on the radio and was interested. Once the self titled track Starboy came out, I was hooked! Been a huge fan of his music ever since then! Super excited for his upcoming record! Really love these mini documentaries as well. Very professional! Keep them coming! You should do one on My Dear Melancholy! In my opinion that is a very underrated body of work from Abel even though it's only 6 tracks..
I’ve been a fan since Trilogy
Starboy was just a different era! You had be there, Starboy is flawed but was a hell of an experience.
A great point of time
5 years later Starboy is everything a Pop album should be, full of danceable tracks (Starboy, Secrets, A Lonely Night) and slow jams (Die For You, I Feel it Coming, Attention). Pays tribute to Michael Jackson and throwback pop/Disco. Each song telling a story (love, fear, paranoia). Starboy in my eyes is a classic Weeknd album💯
One of my favorite albums of all time!
yep..i started his intrest in abel when erned it got out xo till we overdoes
Thank you so much for making this video. People really forget why Starboy is such a good album. I love Starboy and it’s my favorite album from all of them. It just sounds so unique and amazing. It has the best songs I’ve ever heard in my life lol. The way u described the story behind it really shows to prove that these “real” xo fans gotta stop defying who The Weeknd is when Abel is the one who defies himself and that’s what he did with Starboy. It was a rebirth like u said and it really does have a story. I like listening to Starboy because it makes me happy it makes me feel good. I also love the love tracks that it has. Cause even tho u have it all and are a Starboy, you can still fall in love with someone and wanna die for them. It really shows who The Weeknd is and how much his life has changed. Obviously things went downhill for him and we got the next 2 albums. But even with Starboy he tells a lot about himself. A real XO would love Starboy and understand the truth behind it and understand that The Weeknd is not just a sad heart broken singer. He’s one of the greatest artists to ever exists and he made his way up to even become a Starboy. Thank you for this video lol
Preach Homie
Please do the mixtapes "HOB" and "Thursday" , "Echoes of silence"
One day soon…
@@mintrommovies have you done a video on beauty behind the madness
Man i just love reminder. I've listened to that song 168 times according to my Spotify stats 😂
Even to this day its still a banger Reminder is Goated honestly
Starboy and Kissland don't get the live they truly deserve!!! Thank you for making these videos!
great vid man
I like to think of his albums as independent personalities. He's even said himself he redefines his character for each project and obv starts this one by killing is older self, quite a bold statement. Id argue the abel we see in later projects isnt the same abel from this project. I like to think the character he makes for each project is a semi reflection of himself at that point in his life, but ultimately theyre all meant to be different personas.
Yeah that’s a really interesting take. His albums really do feel like movies, in the sense that Weeknd is the director and lead star but the characters are in different contexts each time
I will preface this by saying in no way is this meant to come off as trying to imply I have fame in any sense. But watching his videos my mouth is on the floor seeing have a theme track between his life and my life experiences (in different social environments and different career industries). The parallels are creepily uncanny. The point being I am technically the same person I was then. But in every meaningful way I’m completely different. Same could apply to him
Oh man, I forgot how many stellar tracks this album has just because I don't visit it 'cause it's a pop album. 💫💙
it ain't pop its R&B/Soul
@@lev444rr that's what Abel belongs to but Starboy was not RnB it was an upbeat pop album and that's why alot of people don't like it 'cause it's not the Abel's genre
No thats still R&B, maybe its a personal thing for you?
@@RenTheMighty nah it's not a personal thing, that album is in and out a pop album from production to lyrics wiring, nobody can deny on it but maybe people have a perception of his music just being RnB or they think black people's music fall in RnB genre that's why they think it's a RnB album but it's totally not a RnB, Abel himself has stated in interview that it's a pop album ahead of the time it was released.
@@deepaksinghxo Bruh it was filled with R&B/Soul records as well, and I agree it's a little more pop. But songs like Starboy, Party Monster, Reminder, True Colors, Sidewalks, Six Feet Under, Attention, All I Know, I Feel It Coming are all R&B records.
ORDINARY LIFE HAS TO BE A TOP 5 IN MY FAVORITE SONGS OFF THIS ALBUM...
ngl I always thought Lana would be the perfect collab, Weeknd is the guy lana constantly talks about in her music and vice versa, was really cool to see it happen the way it did in starboy. All that aside the way Future comes in on All I Know is such a great musical moment, also its neat to see someone else appriciating this record.
Would love a collab album
@@GeorgetheGreat Yas
starboy is my favourite weeknd LP.
whenever daft punk collaborates with someone you know it's gonna be a hit. starboy is insane
Great video, Im a fanboy of Starboy myself, Its the album that got me into Abel and is my most listened album and I love your thoughts and ideas on what the album is about. Even if it is hated for some reason I still love it. XO
definitely my favorite weeknd album
This whole album was a VIBE this Abel was definitely needed for the time we were in in 2016!
So many memories with this album and the songs. Another video well made
Please keep these videos coming!!!
Very well put together.
starboy is still the best album the weeknd has realeased. until today i never get tired of the songs from this evergreen album
absolutely love every vid you have made on the weeknd
Great video man, keep up the good work
I’ve been listening to it a lot this week for some reason something brought me back
this is such a great video!
love your videos man!
Thanks for making this video sir!
Love this album and your channel
Thus vid is great, worth the wait
Great explanation bud , nice visuals 🔥
the way you piece his genius together is great
Banging video bro thank u so much for making it, made me look at the album in a different way.
thank u for this
perfection embodied 🤌🏻
Now we just need Beauty Behind The Madness to complete the series for now
This is a criminally under-rated channel!! Great video as always, deserves far more views and success than it’s getting. This is a perspective on this album, and Abel as a whole, that more people need to see
I've been a big fan for 8 years now, but your videos made me find even more appreciation for this music. Thank you for that! XOTWOD
I love this guy i found one of his videos and been watching all day
Great video for a great album man!
The video is made so beautifully that I've watched it thrice in 5 days
you just made me love my favourite album even more...Amazing video man, keep it up!
great video man, keep it up
Starboy was the first album I listened to too! I fricking love it to this day
you dont miss bro, great vid
Thats one of the best videos ive seen
Such a good video, i just hope that you make videos like this on MDM and trilogy and beauty behind the madness
Amazing video brother
Thank you for the video , you did amazing work . Btw my favourite weeknd album
this is a fabulous video, thank you for sharing your experience with abel's starboy
Well put my man !👏 👏
Im glad I could appreciate the Weeknd in his time my only regret is I didnt listen to his music sooner but theres a lot more to come
Man what a video! Thank you Seamus. You basically rounded up everything I love about this album. It's easily one of my all-time favourites. There is not one song on Starboy that I'd consider weak and although they're all quite different from each other, there's a really interesting sense of thematic connectedness that you just rarely see with albums today. I can remember the exact day it dropped and hearing it for the first time like it was yesterday. It was on Black Friday almost five years ago in the London, so the timing of this video is kinda perfect! Man, I've got so many memories from this album aaaahhh! Thank you for triggering the nostalgia!
Wow that’s awesome man so happy the vid connected with you like that
reminder is also one of the songs in the album that impacted me the most... the lyrics are just so wild
man luv ur videos !!!!!!
MINTROM UPLOADED LETSSS GOOO!!!
Literally my favorite album by him… every song hits🔥🔥 almost every song he releases is 🔥 from features to remixes he always brings his own spice to it 🥰💕
My man didn't talk about true Colors and attention 😭
True Colors is a gem.
Love ur videos on explaining albums. And Abel’s my fav artist too so yea. Starboy turns 5 next week
I love the way you analyse his music
You did a great job!
Mmm yes the detailed vids I love this stuff
I love starboy so much, I'm so hyped when this album came and became a fan of the weeknd, some critics said it's too pop but idc because this is a masterpiece. I hope u can deep dive next into My Dear Melancholy. great video 🔥
it’s crazy how i only listened to this album a few months back and only realised then this album was fire. No skip tracks at all. And albums without skips are hard to come by these days. 🔥
The best day time music album of all time! The vibes I get from this album is indescribable ..this shit makes me that yeah I’got some swagger on me to go on!♥️ XOTWOD
Another Amazing video
One of my fav albums EVER
Please do a video like this for all his albums 🙏🏼
Need a video like this for Beauty Behind The Madness 🙏🏽
You need to do a video like this own beauty behind the madness
fantastic video. bravo my friend.
Thank you for appreciating starboy! Been here since thursday and ill tell you people nor understand starboy neither give the credit it deserves.
the day u explain all the three of his mixtapes is the day i'll have inner peace
Great video bro
I love your content, especially Abel stuff. Id love to hear ur opinion about the whole MDM ep
legend
I don't listen to many albums beginning to end. But I listened to every single song on this album
Hi! I’m new to the channel, this is awesome, Hopefully we get to see your take on each of the Trilogy mixtapes, BBTM and MDM too ✌️
“and I feel like coming”
The dawn is coming, he might still comeback and improve his life!
Me too The Weeknd is my second fav artist of all time and Both Kiss Land and Starboy are my top favs for him and the amount of talent in only just how he’s telling story within them is inspiring
Whose number 1, don’t you dare say Frank ocean lol
Man that false alarm video completely changed my mind on the song. When I first heard it my initial thoughts were “tf is this” which was the general consensus but once that video hit I got it.
Love this video, i was looking for a person to explain the whole after hours album + all the other songs he has made till today, supposely its the same character i mean ( La Fama, One right Now, Take my Breath) these other songs that have the same character
Afterhours will age like fine wine. People will gradually understand the music and it’s meaning after few years
Incredible analysis, I would say the second best storytelling in his discography after "After Hours".
False alarm is just so energetic dude
My favourite album ❤️
Great video
This videos made me wanna listen to this album all over again lol
Wow incredible 🤩💯💯💯💯💯💋💋🔥🔥
Im an og weeknd fan. Been a fan since early 2013 when all he had out was Trilogy but I really love starboy too. Yes it’s more pop. Yes it’s a bit bloated with some skippable tracks but it’s lit, it has some darkness to it, it’s bold and it’s just fun. I went to both phases of the starboy tour and it was a great time to be alive. It’s crazy that this album is 5 years old now. Time flies when you’re having fun. Excellent analysis by the way. Keep them coming. We still need beauty, mdm and trilogy. XO
MDM next my guy , also great analysis
Yeah I thought about this. It was like a revamp, Starboy and My Dear Melancholy are my faves still, The Dawn looks like a competitor though for both.
King of the fall ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
XO fans need to put some respect on this album and realise its one of Able's best work.
Every single song is memorable and is repeat central. Straight bangers from start to end.
