The Weeknd just dropped the music video for his new single “Blinding Light,” in which the singer is seen dancing and covered in blood in the city streets. The upbeat, synth-lead nature of the song is mirrored by the high paced intensity of the music video, which features The Weeknd speeding through the streets, and covered in blood throughout various scenes of the video.

The video was released to accompany The Weeknd’s new single “Blinding Light” that came out in November of 2019. “Heartless” was also released around that time, and both soared to high positions on Billboard’s Top 100 Chart. The songs are expected to lead into The Weeknd’s fourth studio album, although official announcement has yet been made about any potential upcoming album. The most recent new music made by the singer was “Power is Power,” a collaboration with SZA and Travis Scott as part of a larger project with Game of Thrones.

Drew Feinerman: I have just completed my senior at the University of Michigan majoring in international studies with an emphasis in political economics and development, with a minor in Chinese language and culture, and I have recently been accepted into the Berklee School of Music's masters of music business program. Although my academic interests include economics, political science, and history, I consider music to be my one true passion. Music is, and has always been, a driving force for the way I think and act every day of my life. I have been playing the tenor saxophone since the age of ten, and playing an instrument at a high level has allowed me to only further my understanding and appreciation for music. While I grew up listening to predominantly classic rock, I soon found myself gravitating toward jazz, hip-hop, funk, and other genres, as my learned to both play and analyze music as a listener. As a writer, I am able to apply my skills both as a musician and a listener, and look forward to the opportunity to being able to express my thoughts on various stories in the music industry.
