\n\tThe Weeknd<\/a> is definitely up to something, but at this point it\u2019s still not clear exactly what the big picture will be. The \u201cTake My Breath\u201d singer (who now goes by his birth name, Abel Tesfaye), posted yet another cryptic teaser video on Tuesday morning (August 6) as part of what has been tagged as \u201cChapter 3\u201d in his musical evolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\tRelated\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\tThe Weeknd Previews Euphoric Song Teasing Final Installment of\u00a0Trilogy\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\t07\/23\/2024\n<\/time><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\tThe three-plus minute CGI video, entitled \u201cunprepared certainty,\u201d arrived at midnight with no further explanation aside from the visual starring a digitally animated toddler making his way through a creepy house on the hill. \u201cAll I have is my\u2026 legacy,\u201d Tesfaye sings at the outset over spooky keyboards bubbling alongside the computer generated sky pulsing with lightning. <\/p>\n\n\tAs the child follows a shrouded woman into the home, a swell of dark keyboards gives the morose track a funereal feel while viewers follow the child\u2019s progress and the track adopts a slightly lighter feel midway through. \u201cYou can change locations\/ You can change your name\/ They will always find a way,\u201d Tesfaye sings in his signature falsetto over gently strummed acoustic guitars. <\/p>\n\n\tAt one point, the child strikes a pose with his left arm on his forehead, as if shading his eyes from a bright light, as he stares into a series of full-length mirrors that appear to show reflections of The Weeknd in a number of previous incarnations, including the signature red suit from his After Hours<\/em> era. The video ends with the child sitting in the embrace of the woman, with Abel singing, \u201cMy mama told me it will never be the same\/ They will always find a way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\tAt press time a spokesperson for Tesfaye had not responded to Billboard<\/em>\u2018s request seeking more information on the video.<\/p>\n\n\tThe latest missive in the singer\u2019s next era comes after he teased a song fans speculate is called \u201cThe Abyss,\u201d which also featured a CGI video starring the unnamed baby and a similarly subdued track.

The show is booked for Sept. 7 at Est\u00e1dio MorumBIS and promises \u201cnever-before-seen production,\u201d according to an earlier press release. The Live Nation-produced show in Brazil comes nine months after the singer performed in S\u00e3o Paulo for two nights (Oct. 10 & 11, 2023) during his After Hours Til Dawn Tour at Allizanz Parque, as well as Rio\u00a0de Janiero\u2019s Est\u00e1dio Nilton Santos on Oct. 7.<\/p>\n\n\tWatch the new video (and the previous posts) below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/path><\/g><\/g><\/g><\/svg><\/div>\n\nView this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/p>\nA post shared by Abel (@theweeknd)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
