Newly-minted chart topper Doja Cat has decided to lend her talents to an upstart comedy writer named Abel. At midnight on Thursday, The Weeknd dropped the remix to his song “In Your Eyes” featuring Doja Cat, who recently received her first career Billboard No. 1 with “Say So (Remix)” featuring Nicki Minaj. A dear friend […]
Here’s an absurd-enough string of words to make you forget about the state of the world for a second: The Weeknd starred as a cartoon-ified version of himself and sang a song about being a virgin on May 4’s episode of American Dad. He also co-wrote the episode of the Cartoon Network series. When Hayley […]
DaBaby has come to collect his second No. 1 album. His April 17 release, Blame It on Baby, has full responsibility for bumping The Weeknd’s After Hours from the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart, after four straight weeks. It was looking like no one could stop The Weeknd, not even Megan Thee Stallion, […]
Have you ever seen the moon bark back at the dog? Have you ever had orgasms in the double digits, digits, digits, digits? Only one of these important questions is asked during “SexBeat” – the new song featuring the old “Yeah” trio Usher, Lil Jon, and Ludacris which dropped at midnight on Friday, April 10. […]
The world could be ending and soft boys would still figure out how to make it about them. This week, Hustlers extra Usher and the Weeknd have discreetly started beefing about an eight-year-old song — clearly quarantine has brought some stuff up. In a new interview with Variety, the Weeknd recalled one of the first […]
In case you think the Weeknd is taking himself too seriously, he wants you to know that it was comedy legend (and Sonic standout) Jim Carrey who inspired him to perform in the first place. “The Mask was the first film I ever went to see in a theater — my mom took me when […]
Talk to a person of a certain age about the state of R&B for long enough, and you’re likely to hear them say the genre’s changed. It isn’t what it used to be. The singers are getting more and more reckless and raunchy. They’re right and wrong. The era that’s spawned songs like Jhené Aiko’s […]
At least The Weeknd gives his co-star Zaina Miuccia a headstart in his new gruesome “In Your Eyes” music video, the latest visual off his recently released album After Hours. In director Anton Tammi’s stylish horror homage, released Monday, the singer plays a serial killer version of himself who falls head over heels for a […]
Now more than ever did we need an isolation album from Abel Tesfaye. The Weeknd’s new fourth studio album, After Hours, which went ahead with its ill-timed March 20 release in the middle of a pandemic, is appeasing sometimes, but it’s not the mood we’re currently craving. Where are the haunting singles we’re compelled to […]
In normal, not panic-inducing, world-sinking news (unless you’re Bella Hadid), the Weeknd is back with a brand new album. Amid government orders to stay indoors, the Weeknd reminds you just how fun partying is … most of the time. The music video for After Hours single “Blinding Lights” follows the singer through a rough night […]
The Weeknd showed up to Saturday Night Live in full costume, but it wasn’t funny business. It was very serious world-building business. The singer debuted his new single “Scared to Live” with Oneohtrix Point Never on SNL sporting a red suit, wingback shoes, black gloves, and a very realistic, bandaged bloody nose. It’s his new […]
The Weeknd is pivoting yet again from sad boy to goth boy with his new single, “After Hours,” the title track off his new album. The single, which clocks in at a hefty six minutes, arrives on the heels of his album title announcement, which dropped on Twitter last week. This all comes well after […]
There’s no such thing as too much information on Selena Gomez’s new album, Rare. It’s been nearly five years since her last album, Revival, and frankly, we have a lot to catch up on. In the last half-decade, Gomez has gotten back together with Justin Bieber, dated the Weeknd, battled with her mental and physical […]
