The Weeknd has released a preview of every song from his upcoming album Beauty Behind the Madness, ahead of its release next week.

Featuring collaborations with Ed Sheeran ("Dark Times") and Lana Del Rey ("Prisoner"), the LP is a follow-up to 2013’s Kiss Land and the Trilogy mixtape compilation.

UK star Labrinth is the only other guest artist to feature, while "Tell Your Friends" has been produced by Kanye West.

Abel Tesfaye revealed the album’s tracklist on his Twitter account earlier this month, following the release of an incorrect tracklist which went viral on 4 August.

Three tracks have already been certified platinum before the album’s release: "Often", "The Hills", and "Can’t Feel My Face".

‘Beauty Behind The Madness’ tracklist:

1. ‘Real Life’

2. ‘Losers (Feat. Labrinth)’

3. ‘Tell Your Friends’

4. ‘Often’

5. ‘The Hills’

6. ‘Acquainted’
