The Weeknd has begun teasing even more new music with a mysterious video.
The singer recently began teasing his new era in July; shortly after he shared a snippet of new music in an Instagram post. Along with a cinematic video, the Canadian musician wrote a caption quoting German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche: When you gaze long enough into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you ¦
Now, The Weeknd (real name Abel Tesfaye) has unveiled another video entitled ‘Unprepared certainty…’. The video, which clocks in at around three and a half minutes, seems to share snippets of two songs.
The first track, which uses grand, dark strings, sees Tesfaye dramatic chant: “I’m all alone when it fades to black”.
Meanwhile, the second section hints at some ominous force, accompanied by a strummed acoustic guitar: “You can change locations, you can change your name / They will always find a way”.
Take a look at the teaser below:
The last music we heard from The Weeknd was 2022’s ‘Dawn FM’. In a four-star review, NME wrote: “ ˜Dawn FM feels like the first steps on a journey for The Weeknd to find peace with himself; perhaps next time we hear from him, he ll be fully embracing the light of day.”
The Weeknd is also due to play a one-night-only show in Brazil with never-before-seen production . The gig, which will take place on September 7 at the Estádio MorumBIS venue in São Paulo, will also see Tesfaye join forces with the UN World Food Programme, and donate $1 (77p) from every ticket sold to the XO Humanitarian Fund in a bid to end the global hunger crisis.
