The Weeknd Just Previewed A New Song: Listen
At a time when people are becoming increasingly sensitive to the gaps between albums, The Weeknd is wasting no time. The Beauty Behind The Madness star just shared a snippet of a new song, presumably produced by Cashmere Cat.
And it sounds pretty wild. There’s a cascade of vocal layers, most of them processed and pitched beyond recognition, but a couple times during the 58-second snippet The Weeknd’s unadulterated voice cuts through. It almost sounds like what you’d get if you took The Weeknd’s gloomy gauze and peppered in just a touch of the PC Music sensibility.
As for why it’s probably that Cashmere Cat collab, we’re going by the emoji clue. The singer used the same single emoji in this caption as he did for a photo of him in the studio with the Norwegian producer a couple weeks ago.
The Weeknd is also slated to be working on new music with Daft Punk.
