The Weeknd has shared his first single of the year. Debuted live in the titular metropolis last month, “Hong Kong” is a duetted power ballad with Cantopop singer Faye Wong.
The video, starring the model Ming Xi, intercuts slick footage of crystalline cars and big city lights with scenes of Abel Tesfaye brooding, pining, and belting karaoke on a set that may or may not be anywhere near Hong Kong.
Watch it go down below. The song’s live premiere took place at Kai Tak Stadium on October 24, where the video played on a giant screen. The single dropped in China a week later; a full streaming release on Western services has not yet been announced.
Since releasing Hurry Up Tomorrow, the Weeknd has also debuted the Anitta-assisted “Rio” and a song that samples the theme from Neon Genesis Evangelion.
