The Weeknd and Future Reunite for "Double Fantasy"
Offering a new listen at the soundtrack of ‘The Idol.’
The Weeknd and Future have dropped off their latest collaborative effort, “Double Fantasy.”
Clocking in at approximately four-and-a-half minutes, the track is produced by Mike Dean, Metro Boomin and The Weeknd himself, and kicks off with exuberant synths laid underneath a lead wind instrument. More evident and active drums enter during the latter half of the song to give it more rhythm, followed by a relaxed verse from Future before The Weeknd closes it out. The song also arrives with an accompanying music video that stars Lily-Rose Depp, who co-stars opposite The Weeknd in his and Sam Levinson’s forthcoming HBO series The Idol.
“Double Fantasy” is set to appear on the soundtrack of The Idol, which stars the The Weeknd as Tedros, a cult leader, who takes Depp’s Jocelyn, a popstar who has fallen from grace, under his wing. Joining the two in the cast are Dan Levy, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Eli Roth, Hari Nef, Jane Adams, Jennie Ruby Jane, Mike Dean, Moses Sumney, Rachel Sennott, Ramsey, Suzanna Son and Hank Azaria.
Stream The Weeknd and Future’s “Double Fantasy” on Spotify and Apple Music and watch the visual above. The Idol premieres June 4 on HBO.
