The Weeknd Shows Off His Punk Side On New Song ‘False Alarm’
Another new cut from ‘Starboy’
Just one week after releasing his comeback single "Starboy," The Weeknd is back for round two.
The newly shorn singer dropped another track from his forthcoming album Starboy today, and it proves that his transformation isn't just physical. "False Alarm" skews more rock-and-roll than anything he's done before — he even yells through the chorus instead of singing.
Starboy-era Weeknd doesn't just have short hair; he also wears jean jackets and belts his best Joey Ramone impression into the microphone. But some things, like his lyrics about drugs and sex and also more drugs, never change.
