Gone are the Krusty The Clown'esque spiky locks in favor of a new high top haircut ahead of the release of his third album. 

The R&B star – who's currently dating Bella Hadid – previously explained the reason behind his trademark look, admitting to Rolling Stone that his hair was inspired by American graffiti artist Jean-Michel Basquiat.

'I want to be remembered as iconic and different,' he said.

The new single 'Starboy' will be released 25 November.
