The Weeknd gained widespread critical acclaim for his three mixtapes: House of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes of Silence, which he later compiled to make a remastered, three-disc album titled Trilogy after signing his record deal with Republic. In 2013, he released Kiss Land, which was considered to be his debut studio album.
In 2014, he dropped “Often,” a remix of Beyonce’s “Drunk In Love,” and “King of the Fall.” The Weeknd released two songs in collaboration with the film Fifty Shades of Grey, with Earned It becoming his solo breakout hit.
His second studio album became highly-anticipated, with riveting singles like The Hills and Can’t Feel My Face leaving fans hungry for more. Beauty Behind the Madness was released on August 28, 2015.
His third studio album, Starboy, was released on November 25, 2016. The Daft Punk-assisted title track led the project as its first official single, released on Wednesday, September 21, 2016, before becoming his third number one track in the United States, as also his home country, Canada. The effort was a commercial success, topping the Billboard 200 albums chart with over 348,000 copies sold in its first week, all eighteen tracks debuting on the Billboard Hot 100, receiving a GRAMMY Award for the Best Urban Contemporary Album, category at the 60th annual ceremony, overall for the second time in his music career and being ranked as the third most popular album of 2017 in the U.S.
Next came the My Dear Melancholy EP, released on March 30, 2018 and revolving around his breakups with Bella Hadid during summer of 2016 and Selena Gomez in October 2017. With the lead single, Call Out My Name, the Canadian singer earned the largest first-day Spotify stream count of any song released in 2018 at that time and his eighth Top 10 entry on Hot 100.
Tesfaye’s fourth studio album (and his first in three years), After Hours was officially released on March 20, 2020, and is named after a 1985 movie directed by his idol, Martin Scorsese. It was primarily supported by November 2019-released singles Heartless and Blinding Lights, with the pair becoming his fourth and fifth #1 singles in the US and the latter his first #1 single in the UK. The title track and In Your Eyes were also released as singles.
Although widely expected to receive multiple nominations for After Hours, Tesfaye failed to receive any nominations for the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards (2021). Tesfaye took to his social media to criticize the Recording Academy, claiming corruption. Speculation arose that the announcement of his then-upcoming Super Bowl performance as well as the discrepancy of being nominated as pop music versus R&B contributed to the snubs. On February 5, 2021 The Highlights was released, as his second greatest hits album. Tesfaye performed at the Super Bowl LV halftime show on February 7, 2021 after announcing he would perform in November 2020. He reportedly spent $7 million on his performance at the show. Despite having a mixed response, the show resulted in a surge in streaming and downloads for Tesfaye's After Hours album as well as for the seven other songs he performed.
His fifth album, Dawn FM was released on January 7, 2022, continuing the writing and production work with Swedish pop svengalis Max Martin and Oscar Holter. The album was preceded by the single Take My Breath in August 2021, with Sacrifice announced as the second single.
Stargirl Interlude
the weeknd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A vision of my nails in the kitchen
Scratchin' counter tops, I was screamin'
My back arched like a cat
My position couldn't stop, you were hittin'
And I shouldn't cry, but I love it, Starboy
And I shouldn't cry, but I love it (but I love it), Starboy
And I shouldn't cry, but I love it, Starboy
I just wanna see you shine 'cause I know you are a Stargirl
I just wanna see you shine 'cause I know you are a Stargirl
I just wanna see you shine 'cause I know you are a Stargirl
I just wanna see you shine
The Weeknd's Stargirl Interlude is a song about a woman whose sexual pleasure is so intense that it causes her to have a vision, and it's through this vision that she sees herself in the kitchen, with her nails scratching on the countertops and screaming out in ecstasy. The woman's back is arched like a cat, and she can't stop because of the intense pleasure she's feeling. This vision is a metaphor for the sexual experience she's having with her partner, and her inability to control her emotions or tears during the act. Despite the pain or discomfort she feels, she still loves the experience, acknowledging her love for the Starboy who is satisfying her desires.
The chorus creates a shift in the focus of the song, with the repetition of "I just wanna see you shine 'cause I know you are a Stargirl." This line indicates a shift away from the woman's pleasure to the focus of the song being on the Starboy. The Stargirl refers to the woman, and the chorus seems to emphasize that the Starboy wants nothing more than to see her happy and shining in her own element. It's a beautiful display of affection, showing how one partner's pleasure is intertwined with the happiness of their loved one.
Overall, the song is a beautiful and sensual exploration of sexual pleasure and love, intertwined with a deep affection for one's partner. It highlights the importance of enjoying the small things in life and finding happiness through experiencing pleasure with your partner.
