Written by: Alex Henein
One week after his return to the music industry, Toronto native The Weeknd wastes no time releasing the visual for ‘Heartless’ Produced by Metro Boomin & Directed by Anton Tammi. The video begins with The Weeknd and Metro Boomin hitting the Caesars Palace in Vegas leading to the beginning of a crazy trip.
Stumbling to exit the car, The Weeknd smokes his cigarette on his way to entering a night full of gambling and lucid living illuminated by Vegas’ prolific streets. After testing their luck at the craps table, Abel and Metro continue for a crazy night of drinking, gambling, and smoking. Similar to the likes of the beginning of the first Hangover movie.
The Weeknd licks a frog—symbolizing drugs .. some combustion begins to swirl .. and somehow his eyes begin to take form visually similar to a snakes. This is when the real trippy part of the video begins to kick in—Even Metro Boomin is beginning get shook. Followed by trippy visuals, The Weeknd is seen running down the Vegas street before the fun finally gets to him, losing his energy resulting in puking … the ending of the high.
