Sex, love, prostitutes, ballads, drugs, and then a splash of the modern day Michael Jackson; what’s not to love? Sounds like the perfect music cocktail, all mixed and shaken together, to create The Weeknd’s most recent and highly anticipated album: "Beauty Behind the Madness."

With Number One hits on the track list, such as summer anthem “Can’t Feel My Face” and box office hit “Earned It,” it is no surprise that after just two weeks out to the public, the album has been a smash hit and is already decorated with accomplishments. "Beauty Behind the Madness" effortlessly soared to the top of Billboard 200's list, debuting as Number 1. Billboard reports that Abel Tesfaye’s (aka The Weeknd) new LP sold 326,000 total albums in its first week, giving Tesfaye a Number One album to add to his track record. So far, "Beauty Behind the Madness" comes in second for most sold album in its debut week this year, its only superior being Drake’s "If You’re Reading This: It’s Too Late," which sold 535,000 copies the week it dropped.

Now it is clear that Abel Tesfaye is no longer an up-and-coming star, but rather, the Millennial generation’s “King of R&B and Pop.”

The album has a cloud of dark seduction wavering over it, all the while bringing up the mood with poppy beats and instrumental sounds. Tesfaye kicks off the album with “Real Life,” an intense and motivating ballad that really shows off The Weeknd’s star-worthy vocals. Mixing in some loopy, dance-music like beats and great use of classic instruments with the impressive singer and producer Labrinth, we get the LP’s next song “Losers.” The song will have you up and down and all around in the best way possible.

“Tell Your Friends” brings us back to the roots in which The Weeknd became famous. The way he is able to make “I’ma care for you” sound more like a threat than a romantic reassurance in hit single “Earned It” is how Tesfaye stands out from the crowd. His lyrics about doing drugs, having sex, and putting shame on your mother roll easier off the tongue than telling everyone you failed a class, and his lyrics put a pessimistic presence around him that would make Ernest Hemingway smile like a proud dad on his son’s graduation day.

“Earned It,” “As You Are,” “Often,” and “Acquainted” have lyrics that would make your grandmother’s face turn redder than a tomato. “You got me touchin’ on your body, to say that we’re in love is dangerous, but girl I’m so glad we’re acquainted” is the chorus of “Acquainted,” just to give you a glimpse of one of the most G-Rated one liners from the album.

Lana Del Rey makes an appearance, and it couldn’t have been more spot on. The dark, somber, and heartbroken artist gives Tesfaye more of a human side. Prostitutes, alcohol, and drugs desert this song, and in floods love addiction. Whether they are ballading together about a good or destructive love is left to the listener, but the track adds a little bit of of love to "Beauty Behind the Madness."

Has the King of Pop risen from the dead, or was he reincarnated as Abel Tesfaye? Either way, tracks “Can’t Feel My Face” and “In the Night” are definitely where The Weeknd channels his inner MJ, and will most likely have your parents do a double take at who the singer is. He is our generation’s only single male pop phenomenon.

“These kids, you know, they don’t have a Michael Jackson,” he told the New York Times. “They don’t have a Prince. They don’t have a Whitney. Who else is there?”

Thanks, The Weeknd, for offering to fill in, we can’t wait to grow up with your budding legacy.
