Seduced by the Sound: The Weeknd + Daft Punk

Brilliant, sexy songs don’t just appear out of thin air, though, so we reveal how this song’s perpetual excitement is hard-won through references to past stars of sultriness like Michael and Marvin while employing its own bag of tricks to turn up the heat.
