The Weeknd has just released the much-anticipated track and music video for “São Paulo,” featuring Brazilian superstar Anitta. Directed by visionary FREEKA, the video unfolds in dark, surreal scenes, with a storyline that sees Anitta pregnant, her stomach revealing an eerie face within. This chilling imagery adds a new, intense visual layer to The Weeknd’s evolving artistic journey. Alongside the video premiere, fans worldwide can now stream “São Paulo” on all platforms.

The track’s release comes amid a string of achievements for The Weeknd, who recently broke his own record as the artist with the most monthly listeners on Spotify, topping 120 million. This follows chart-toppers like “Timeless” with Playboi Carti, produced by Pharrell Williams, and “Dancing in the Flames,” both of which will feature on his upcoming album, Hurry Up Tomorrow.

Just last month, The Weeknd’s sold-out concert in São Paulo, streamed to millions globally, brought the artist’s electrifying energy to the world, trending in 24 countries. The concert included surprise appearances from Anitta and Playboi Carti, with proceeds from merchandise going to BrazilFoundation’s Brazilian Soul Fund, aiding local communities in need.

Anitta Is Freakily Pregnant In The Video For Her And The Weeknd’s New Collab, ‘São Paulo’

by

In September, The Weeknd played a special one-off concert in São Paulo, Brazil. The city is apparently still on his mind, as today (October 31), he teamed up with Brazil’s own Anitta on a new single, “São Paulo.”

In addition to a five-minute version of the song, there’s also a shorter three-minute version that’s heard in the song’s video. The video is a trip, by the way, as it features Anitta, who is pregnant but in a sort of grotesque way.

In an eerie teaser video shared in September, The Weeknd wrote, “Yesterday was fourteen years ago… We held our breath, falling into a shimmering sea in the after hours of the night… Attempted to cleanse the wounds with melodies and lights, a bulletproof bandage to shield what lies beneath. In a place where the seasons never changed, where time ceased to exist. But therein lays the problem. Today has felt like an endless spin. I keep distorting the truth, immune to the dizziness, numb to the nausea. What lies beneath — screams in silence. I look in the mirror and feel both old and new, stuck in limbo and unable to move. I still haven’t faced myself. More songs could help, but what do I have left to say? Woe is me in my gilded cage, right? The very thing that once made me invincible failed me on the world stage. A new trauma surfaced, opening floodgates. A new path awaits. When today ends, I’ll discover who I am. Hurry Up Tomorrow.”

Travis Scott’s Jam-Packed Brazil Concert Causes Earthquake

by

Travis Scott and lit shows go together like peanut butter and jelly. If the show isn’t shaking the literal foundations of the earth, then it’s not one of his shows. We say that because once again, Travis Scott has caused an earthquake, according to reports from HipHopDX and Complex. This past Wednesday, La Flame was putting on a concert in São Paulo, Brazil, a city that’s seen plenty of activity lately. Over the last week or so, The Weeknd performed some of his upcoming album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, and then the NFL had its first-ever game in the famous locale.

Clearly, all of that excitement and energy was carried over into Scott’s event. As you can see below (in gorgeous overhead shots), it appears to be sold out. About 46,000 people were in attendance and when you have someone like him performing rager after rager, things are going to get buck wild. To no surprise, they did, as local news stations reported shaking that was actual visible to the naked eye.

If you remember, a similar thing happened in Rome last summer right around the release of UTOPIA. He stopped at the Circus Maximus stadium and there a 1.3 magnitude earthquake occurred. With all of this excitement still around his fourth studio album, Scott sees that fans are “FE!N[ing]” for more, which is why he’s back in album mode once again. We can only imagine that more ground-shaking shows on the horizon at this point.

What are your thoughts on Travis Scott causing another earthquake with his show in São Paulo, Brazil? Does this prove that he’s the best and biggest performer in music right now, why or why not? Do you think we are going to get another album from him within the next year? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Travis Scott. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.
