Remember the days when The Weeknd released NSFW type videos that either contained a vast amount of hedonism or slightly violent imagery. Well it seems as if he’s returned to his old self with his latest Ilya Naishuller-directed video ‘False Alarm’. Whilst there isn’t much happening in terms of hedonistic episodes, there is a whole heap of violence as the video is shot from a first person perspective and entails a group of men robbing a bank, shooting people and having a battle with authorities. It kind of looks like a live version of a video game. Never the less, it is definitely a wild ride! The track is taken from The Weeknd’s forthcoming LP Starboy.
