Press release news from Republic Records Media, The release of a new track from The Weeknd, is called “Popular” which includes artists such as Playboi Carti and Madonna. This new track which the three artists came to make for The Idol soundtrack. The single track that The Weeknd came to drop just a day ago, the full album coming on June 30th, dropping both the visualizer and official audio of the song “Popular”. Something interesting about this newly released track, “Popular”  which was just released yesterday was heard but just a snippet of it before its release date. That was at the Cannes Film Festival where fans came to show it on social media platforms. This would be due to the series being premiered at the Film Festival on May 22, as well as the artist just sharing to every one of those who worked with him on the track.

“Popular” is a really catchy song that gets stuck in the head, a song that can be repeated so many times due to its catchiness. A song that sounds like the early 2000s R&B music, has the vibes of that time. The voice of The Weeknd sounds so smooth in this song as well as in previous music he has released which is something fans like about his voice. This song talks about wanting to be popular which is something the Idol drama series touches on, a song focusing on the main character who desperately wants that fame, doing everything to make that possible even if it can lead to consequences. A song that sounds calm and groovy yet has a message about a person’s obsession with fame and popularity.
