by The Weeknd has once again captivated audiences with the release of the official music video for “Cry for Me,” a sorrowful offering from his latest album, Hurry Up Tomorrow. The clip immerses viewers in a haunting, monochromatic world that mirrors the song’s melancholic and soulful essence.
In this suggestive visual narrative, The Weeknd traverses dimly lit urban landscapes, donning a shimmering outfit with his face partially obscured by a hood. Interspersed are poignant scenes of a woman shedding thick, dark tears, amplifying the themes of heartache and longing. The chorus resonates deeply:
“And I hope you cry for me like I cry for you / Every night for you, take it easy on me, baby / ‘Cause I tried with you, saw my life with you / End of time with you, now we’re strangers,” he delivers.
“Cry for Me” follows the success of Hurry Up Tomorrow, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, marking The Weeknd’s fifth consecutive chart-topping album. The 22-track project boasts collaborations with artists like Playboi Carti on “Timeless” and Anitta on “São Paulo.”
In other news, The Weeknd made a surprise return to the Grammy Awards recently, ending his four-year boycott of the event. He delivered a powerful performance of “Cry for Me” and “Timeless,” featuring Playboi Carti. This unexpected appearance was seen as a reconciliation with the Recording Academy, following past criticisms over transparency and inclusivity.
