Authentic The Weeknd The Highlights Island vinyl record

2×12″ Compliation 18 Tracks- R&B, Soul, Hip Hop & Disco
After his last album incorporated neon and darkwave stylings into his ever-expanding musical fold, we unanimously agreed back at the beginning of 2021 that it was high time The Weeknd put out a ‘greatest hits’ album. In February, our wish was granted in CD form, and now, ‘The Highlights’ has seen an official rerelease on double gatefold ultra-heavy vinyl, doing thorough justice to The Noise’s cosmic collabs with Daft Punk, Kendrick Lamar and Ariana Grande. Spanning cuts all the way through from ‘Thursday’ to ‘After Hours’, this album does a remarkable job of unifying the best tracks from this devlishly suited, R&B hitmaker’s career.

If you don’t know where to start with Canadian pop sensation The Weeknd then ‘The Highlights’ could be the album you need. It does what it says on the tin rounding up the best bit of his three Billboard number one albums as well as EPs and even a couple of things of his debut mixtape. ‘Blinding Lights’ is on there of course.
