Reviews
"The influence of Michael Jackson on Tesfaye’s melodic choices and vocal delivery has been much commented on and it is certainly present in ‘Starboy’.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "'A Lonely Night' is a nice B-side-quality slice of electro-funk. 'Attention' is a decent EDM ballad that could have been made by Major Lazer or Jason DeRulo.", "'Starboy' glides like a sleek, high-performance car, while 'I Feel It Coming' sounds like a slowed-down version of 'Get Lucky.'", "A refreshing punk-rock energy surges through 'False Alarm,' while dance music kings Daft Punk help him further explore his freaky disco side on the shimmering album closer 'I Feel It Coming.'" -- Grade: B, "STARBOY contains a compulsively repayable suite of songs. 'Rockin’,' the fifth track, written with Max Martin and his henchmen, is a purely delectable pulsating pop confection.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "Opener ‘Starboy’ is a moody acknowledgement of his celebrity, while closer ‘I Feel It Coming’ is a beauty, on which Tesfaye’s trembling vocal unmistakeably echoes Michael Jackson’s."
