The Weekend has released a brand new, chaotic music video for Party Monster. Featuring car races in the desert and a lot of lens flares.

 

Highly stylized and with a strong 80’s vibe, if this video reminds you of the video for ‘In The Night,’ that’s because it was shot by the same director who goes by BRTHR.

 

 

Now before you get too excited that the song references a girl with an “ass like Selena” although the Weeknd was photographed kissing Selena Gomez in California yesterday, the song most likely references Selena Quintanilla-Pérez. Sorry.

 

The video for Party Monster opens with the Weeknd doing what he seems to like best, speeding through the desert in a flashy sports car innercut with flashes of crosses and fires.

The acid trip intensifies as the singer encounters Zoe Aggeliki, playing the femme fatale role for the video, and the pair descend into an eerie underground and drag race across the desert. The warped madness of their encounter finally ends with a clear-cut shot of Aggeliki’s car flying off a cliff while the scene flashes in the Weeknd’s sunglasses.

 

“Party Monster” boasts contributions from Lana Del Rey and appears on the Weeknd’s latest record, Starboy. The singer will kick off a world tour this February, starting with a North American leg – that includes a headlining spot at Bonnaroo – April 25th in Vancouver.
