The Weeknd is currently busy teasing his HBO show The Idol and he just shared one of the songs from its soundtrack. He joined forces with Future for the new song “Double Fantasy” and shared a music video starring his The Idol co-star Lily-Rose Depp.
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.
