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.' This announcement coincides with the debut of a visually striking music video for the single, which was filmed using the new iPhone 16 Pro. The video, shot by Erik Henriksson and directed by Anton Tammi, is expected to further amplify excitement surrounding the release.
Earlier this week, behind-the-scenes footage was revealed during Apple's It's Glowtime event, offering fans a sneak peek at the video and contributing to the buzz surrounding the track. 'Dancing In The Flames' continues the vibrant synth-pop sound that characterized The Weeknd's previous album, 'Dawn FM.' 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, which delve into the themes of after-hours experiences and surreal narratives through a filmic and melodramatic lens.
Adding to the excitement surrounding The Weeknd's recent endeavors, he performed to a sold-out stadium in São Paulo, Brazil this past Saturday. The concert was streamed exclusively on YouTube, drawing millions of viewers worldwide. The performance featured surprise guest appearances by artists Playboi Carti and Anitta, enriching the overall experience for attendees. For those interested, the music video for 'Dancing In The Flames' can be watched below.
