The Weeknd returns to a dark place with his latest video. The noirish piece has Tesfaye shooting the character seen in the visuals for “Can’t Feel My Face” and “The Hills” to the tune of the Kanye West-produced “Tell Your Friends” and the stadium-ready, album-opening “Real Life.”
Watch the Grant Singer-directed clip above, which likely drew some inspiration from Michael Jackson’s iconic “Thriller” visual. You can preorder Beauty Behind the Madness on iTunes now.
