The Weeknd previews the final chapter of his musical trilogy

The Weeknd is preparing the final album of his personal trilogy, after ‘After Hours’ and ‘Dawn FM’. In the last few days, Abel Tesfaye has released two teasers, one of them showing new music, and has announced a “one-off” show in Brazil where we will surely receive news about the new album.

Last night, the Canadian superstar released a cinematic teaser for his upcoming project, which still has no release date or official name. Running for two minutes, the clip includes a snippet of a new song that some fans are suggesting is titled ‘Hold Your Heart’ and shows Abel in the form of a little boy, hinting at some sort of rebirth. If you suffer from epilepsy and want to watch the teaser, beware of the first few seconds.

The song continues the synthpop style that The Weeknd has adopted in his last two releases. The snippet is also presented with a quote from Nietzsche, which goes like this: “When you gaze for a long time into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.”

This comes after the singer announced a concert in São Paulo, which will feature a “never-before-seen production.” The artist also indicated that the show will have “three chapters,” indicating a possible debut of new live music.
