The Weeknd enlisted Kenny G for a special rendition of his After Hours track “In Your Eyes,” performed for the inaugural TIME 100 primetime TV event.

Performing in a smoky, pink-tinged room complete with a disco ball, The Weeknd was backed up by a full band to play “Blinding Lights” and “In Your Eyes” live. The latter track clocks in a little shorter than the album version, with Kenny G appearing at around the 2:35 mark to hit the stunning saxophone solo and ending the performance there.

The Toronto artist was named one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People of 2020. Elton John introduced The Weeknd with a penned profile, noting that he has “a mysterious figure in an era when mystery is rare in pop.”

In case you missed it, The Weeknd re-added “King Of The Fall” on streaming services.
