The Weeknd has released two new songs, ‘World Class Sinner/I’m A Freak’ and ‘The Lure’ – featuring Lily-Rose Depp. Check them out below.Both tracks are taken from his highly-anticipated new series The Idol, which aired on HBO last Sunday (June 4) with the opening episode Pop Tarts & Rat Tails.For those who have already watched the first instalment of the series, the first of the new singles, ‘World Class Sinner/I’m A Freak’, will already be familiar.
Co-written by the Weeknd and Asa Taccone, the highly-sexualised pop anthem features vocals from Lily-Rose Depp, and appeared prominently throughout the debut as the comeback single by pop star protagonist Jocelyn (Depp).The second single ‘The Lure’, however, is slower and more eerie than its counterpart, and also serves as the theme for the six-episode series.
It was written by Mike Dean and The Weeknd — with the latter also contributing swirling, ethereal vocals to the track. Check out both new songs below.The Weeknd — who helped produce the series, which also stars as leading man Tedros — teased the new music on social media earlier this week, and announced that he would be releasing them earlier than planned because he was “too hyped”.“I was planning on dropping the whole soundtrack for idol by the finale, but I’m too hyped,” he wrote in the Instagram post. “Instead, I wanna drop new music from the show every week with each episode.”He continued: “I’m excited for you guys to hear what we’ve been cooking and all these incredible artists that are a part of this show…this week… Jocelyn’s pop song ‘World Class Sinner’ and ‘The Lure’ (theme score)… episode 2 this Sunday.”A post shared by Abel Tesfaye (@theweeknd)‘World Class Sinner’ and ‘The Lure’ are the third and fourth.
