The Weeknd, a.k.a. Starboy, continues his stratospheric rise with the release of a video for “I Feel It Coming,” featuring those alien motorcycle-helmet enthusiasts Daft Punk (who also gave their signature spin to the song, natch). The video extends the album’s space metaphor with a very 1970s sci-fi-novella cover meets Doctor Who plot twist that places poor Abel Tesfaye on a planet where he can, indeed, meet a beautiful, perfect, elemental woman, though the romance shall be brief indeed for … reasons unspoiled. Just watch. Tesfaye announced the video’s drop on Twitter yesterday. He’s currently on tour across Europe, which is on the planet Earth, Solar System, Milky Way, Universe.
