The Weeknd is continuing to slowly open the door to his new world. After unveiling the first preview of his latest project about three weeks ago, The Weeknd has dropped off another first look into what we can expect from his imminent album – which marks the final in his trilogy of recent albums consisting thus far of 2020’s After Hours and 2022’s Dawn FM.

The latest teaser arrives in the form of a roughly two-minute clip that spans two different tracks and a sequence of trippy, sci-fi visuals. It signals a continuation of the teaser The Weeknd unveiled last week, but this time with a more ominous Friedrich Nietzsche caption: “when you gaze long enough into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you…”

“I tried my best to not let you go / I don’t like the view from halfway down / Just promise me that it won’t be so / Will I feel the end? Backed up the ground,” he croons in the first song.

“I tried to be something that I’ll never be / Why waste another precious hour? / Why waste another precious hour? / I’d rather leave somewhat of a legacy / Familiar, I thought that’s so familiar.”

As for the second song, the clip resembles a previously previewed demo entitled “Hold Your Heart,” a track that didn’t make the cut onto After Hours. 

“Just hold my heart, real close to you / Remember how it always beats for you,” he delivers on the highly anticipated track. “I’m falling at the speed of light/I’m staring at your shrinking face, don’t cry / You know my heart belongs.”

While fans were quick to hit the comments to show love – especially for “Hold My Heart” – no details have been officially confirmed yet.  Stay tuned to Hypebeast for more details as they emerge.
