Daft Punk and The Weeknd broke the internet a few weeks ago with an announcement of a collaboration in the works and then shortly after, the release of “Starboy”. The track was excellent but was met with some criticism. This was mostly from the dance music community, who was widely let down that Daft Punk was not at the forefront in this collaboration. Since the robots were only on the track as producers, The Weeknd was the feature of this tune. If the listener can look past the Daft Punk name and hear the track for what it is, it is excellent.
