Starboy Music Video Shows The Death of The Weeknd

Someone should file a missing person’s report immediately! Has anyone seen the new Weeknd video? A murder has been committed and now it’s trending. With over 25 million YouTube views, in just five days, this could possibly be the most witnessed crime.

According to the official website of popular Canadian singer, record producer, and songwriter The Weeknd, a new single has been released from his upcoming album Starboy. The single is called Starboy and features French electronic music duo Daft Punk. They must have planned this together; it makes sense.

The music video starts with the eerie sound of an electronic organ, night time, and a long table with two lone figures sitting at the ends. One is shrouded in shadows and wearing black plastic gloves, while the other figure is tied up and struggling. Just seconds after exposing the scene, the audience can see that it’s The Weeknd that’s tied up and struggling. Just when the audience believes The Weeknd even has a chance of escaping, the man shrouded in shadows puts a bag over his head. As the Canadian artist struggles for his life, dark minor chords ring in the background and finally the last breath is taken. The Weeknd dies in the struggle and the shrouded man is revealed as the single starts. This shrouded man that just committed homicide on a popular music artist’s video is none other than the artist himself; The Weeknd just viciously murdered The Weekend.

Now the influences of Daft Punk are heard in the production. It still has a dark eerie tone to it, and now it’s even more obvious that this was planned. This so called doppelganger parades around a house full of accolades that don’t belong to him. This man that sings with a high tenor range and melodic falsetto couldn’t possibly be The Weeknd. The dread-locks that resemble that of Jean-Michael Basquiat aren’t present, however the lyrics of the song resemble the style of said artist.

There’re so many similarities, yet I can’t bring myself to believe that this man is one of my favorite music artist. The single may be called Starboy, but I’m not sure if that’s what he truly is. All I know is that others have to watch this single, and please let others know that a crime is being committed. Let the world know that The Weeknd has been killed, and a new man has taken his place.

Who is this Starboy?

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
