The Weeknd has officially released his new single, 'Dancing In The Flames,' which is part of his much-anticipated upcoming album titled 'Hurry Up Tomorrow.' The announcement comes alongside the debut of a music video for the single, which was filmed using the new iPhone 16 Pro. The video was shot by Erik Henriksson and directed by Anton Tammi. Behind-the-scenes footage revealed earlier this week during Apple's It's Glowtime event included a preview clip of the video, generating significant excitement among fans.
This new track continues in the vein of the vibrant synth-pop sound that characterized The Weeknd's previous album, 'Dawn FM.' Earlier this week, the Canadian superstar also unveiled the title and cover art for 'Hurry Up Tomorrow,' marking the completion of his acclaimed trilogy of retro-futuristic concept albums. Throughout these releases, The Weeknd has navigated a rich landscape of after-hours experiences and surreal narratives, presenting them in a filmic and melodramatic style.
In addition to the single release, The Weeknd performed to a sold-out stadium in São Paulo, Brazil, this past Saturday. The concert was streamed exclusively on YouTube, attracting millions of viewers globally. The event included surprise appearances from notable artists Playboi Carti and Anitta, adding an extra layer of excitement for the audience. For fans eager to view the new video for 'Dancing In The Flames,' it is available below.
