The Weeknd gave us the best possible Thanksgiving present when he surprised us with two new singles last week. “Heartless” was quickly accompanied by a music video that sees the singer enjoying the glitz and glam of Las Vegas.

The dazzling video, directed by Anton Tammi, sees the Weeknd experiencing his own version of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas alongside Metro Boomin. Two singers are having a quintessential Sin City experience in this psychedelic video, which includes everything from a visit to a casino to running through neon-filled streets.

“Heartless” serves as the lead single from the Weeknd’s upcoming fourth studio album, which will also feature a recently released song “Blinding Lights.” The singer also dropped a video for this track, which basically serves as a Mercedes-Benz commercial.

Despite the fact he hasn’t released a new studio album since 2016, the three-time Grammy-winning artist has been keeping busy in the meantime. He dropped the chart-topping EP My Dear Melancholy last year and recorded songs that were featured on Black Panther and Game of Thrones soundtracks.
