The Idol Vol. 1 will feature the songs that The Weeknd co-wrote alongside Metro Boomin and Mike Dean. “Double Fantasy” featuring Future was released as its first single, and The Weeknd just dropped “Popular” ft. Playboi Carti and Madonna ahead of The Idol premiere this Friday.

The music video for this song was filmed during the show’s world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival last month, and it features The Idol cast and crew, including the director Sam Levinson and the leading lady Lily-Rose Depp.

The Weeknd discussed The Idol soundtrack with Interview Magazine and cited David Bowie, Prince, and Pink Floyd as his main inspiration.

“I’ve been inspired by The Wall and Purple Rain and when Bowie was doing it, but even in films like Shaft, the music is literally telling the story of the film. But I want to take it to the next level. I want to challenge myself and I feel like, as a musician, I’m the best I’ve ever been,” The Weeknd explained.

The music video mostly consists of clips from this upcoming musical drama series, starring both Depp and The Weeknd. The Idol will also star several more well-known musical artists, including Troye Sivan, Moses Sumney, Tunde Adebimpe, Tyson Ritter, and Blackpink’s Jennie.

Since The Idol explores the dark side of the music industry by telling the story of a rising pop star Jocelyn, it’s safe to expect its soundtrack will be pretty amazing. “Double Fantasy” gave us a taste of things to come, and it’s only the first of many songs produced by The Weeknd and Mike Dean for The Idol Vol. 1.

The Weekend recorded this song alongside Future, and this isn’t the first time the duo worked together. They collaborated on numerous occasions in the past, on such hits as  “Low Life,” “Drinks on Us,” and “Comin’ Out Strong.” “Double Fantasy” was also produced by Metro Boomin, who most recently joined forces with The Weeknd for the viral hit “Creepin’”, which peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
