Someone should file a missing person’s report immediately! Has anyone seen the new Weeknd video? A murder has been committed and now it’s trending. With over 25 million YouTube views, in just five days, this could possibly be the most witnessed crime.
According to the official website of popular Canadian singer, record producer, and songwriter The Weeknd, a new single has been released from his upcoming album Starboy. The single is called Starboy and features French electronic music duo Daft Punk. They must have planned this together; it makes sense.
The music video starts with the eerie sound of an electronic organ, night time, and a long table with two lone figures sitting at the ends. One is shrouded in shadows and wearing black plastic gloves, while the other figure is tied up and struggling. Just seconds after exposing the scene, the audience can see that it’s The Weeknd that’s tied up and struggling. Just when the audience believes The Weeknd even has a chance of escaping, the man shrouded in shadows puts a bag over his head. As the Canadian artist struggles for his life, dark minor chords ring in the background and finally the last breath is taken. The Weeknd dies in the struggle and the shrouded man is revealed as the single starts. This shrouded man that just committed homicide on a popular music artist’s video is none other than the artist himself; The Weeknd just viciously murdered The Weekend.
Now the influences of Daft Punk are heard in the production. It still has a dark eerie tone to it, and now it’s even more obvious that this was planned. This so called doppelganger parades around a house full of accolades that don’t belong to him. This man that sings with a high tenor range and melodic falsetto couldn’t possibly be The Weeknd. The dread-locks that resemble that of Jean-Michael Basquiat aren’t present, however the lyrics of the song resemble the style of said artist.
There’re so many similarities, yet I can’t bring myself to believe that this man is one of my favorite music artist. The single may be called Starboy, but I’m not sure if that’s what he truly is. All I know is that others have to watch this single, and please let others know that a crime is being committed. Let the world know that The Weeknd has been killed, and a new man has taken his place.
Who is this Starboy?
