You can pre-order the album on his website, as well as a collector's edition vinyl in collaboration with renowned artist and comic book writer Frank Miller.
The album’s title was revealed by Tesfaye on 4 September in a short video including some passages and ominous background music. Three days after, he unveiled the album cover, which consists of a close-up of the “Starboy” singer, similar to the last two installments of the trilogy.
On the same day (7 September), he performed a “one-night-only” live-streamed concert in São Paulo. In it, he premiered new songs such as “Timeless (with Playboi Carti)” and “São Paulo (feat. Anitta)”, which then became the LP’s second and third singles, respectively. The lead single is “Dancing In The Flames”, released on 13 December, with a music video directed by Anton Tammi.
Additionally, Tesfaye is making his film-starring debut alongside Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan on a yet-untitled film, written and directed by Trey Edward Shults, described as a psychological thriller.
