The Weeknd Drops New Music Video for “Popular” with Madonna & Playboi Carti
Back in June 2023, Canadian singer-songwriter The Weeknd teamed up with American singer-songwriter Madonna and American rapper Playboi Carti to release their collaborative song “Popular”.
The song is featured on the soundtrack “The Idol, Vol. 1”, to the Weeknd's HBO drama television series “The Idol”.
On February 23, 2024, they dropped a new music video for the song directed by Cliqua.
Also, The Weeknd released the 5-track EP “Popular” along with the release of the video.
The Weeknd told Zane Lowe of Apple Music about the song, “No, I'm proud of it, I'm definitely proud of it. Me and Carti had this- I mean we've jammed out before, and I've actually worked with him, we've had a different version of this song prior so I've had these vocals for a while and I kind of, you know, worked around it, and then kind of kept it in the tuck. But now it felt like it was time, and it felt right, and it felt cohesive with this album I'm working on right now. So I've been producing this song for a while and then Madonna matched. The thing is, I've always wanted to work with her. I've always wanted to write and produce a Madonna album, oh well, cowrite and coproduce with her because she's such a visionary, and she has such a singular vision and I just want to come into her world, you know, and create a classic Madonna album, that was always my dream. So you know, this, hopefully, could be the appetizer for that.”- vt0i6nuqNEo
