As a super fan of The Weeknd, I find him captivating because of the story of his rise to fame, and I simply get lost in the music. Due to their versatility , I have found his songs applicable to all moments in life. My favorite albums of all time are “Trilogy” and “Beauty Behind The Madness.” With both of these albums, you honestly receive a sensual vibe that refrains from becoming too vulgar. He is one of the only artists where I can listen to each album and not skip a song.

Overall, I think this is a perfect compilation. However, I am disappointed that he hasn’t included some of his other hits that I would have liked to have seen. But if you hadn’t listened to The Weeknd before, this would probably be a good place to start to get up to speed on his music. Also, it is just good if you already like his music. You can get a mix from all of his albums.

t probably goes without saying that “The Highlights” is worthwhile, but if you already own The Weeknd’s entire catalogue, then it’s just somebody at his record label doing the work of putting together the mixtape for you. If not this would be as good a primer for his output as any other possible, although it deserves to be said he’s a much darker and danker artist than the red suits and choreographed dancing may have led you to believe. That’s a GOOD thing.
