Beauty Behind the Madness

by The Weeknd, Paul Bushnell, Vinnie Colaiuta, Mike Dean, Robert Holmes

Overview

Teased with the typically narcotic ballad "The Hills" and the uptempo disco-funk throwback "Can't Feel My Face" -- co-produced by Max Martin and a Top Five pop hit in at least five countries -- Beauty Behind the Madness is the second proper Weeknd album. It's a bid for pop dominance, much different from the material on the Trilogy compilation and Kiss Land, that also follows the platinum singles "Love Me Harder" (a duet with Ariana Grande) and "Earned It" (from the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack).
