AceShowbiz - Brazilian pop star Anitta and R&B icon The Weeknd have dropped a haunting and unsettling music video for their single "Sao Paulo", featuring a pregnant belly that sings.

The video, directed by experimental artist Freeka Tet, depicts Anitta in distress as she walks around New York in lingerie while surrounded by flashing lights. Her large pregnant belly takes center stage, and as the video progresses, it grows lips and begins to sing The Weeknd's lyrics.

The surreal imagery and body horror elements are perfectly timed for the Halloween season. The FX were created by Manny Lemus, while the concept was developed by Anitta herself.

The video has been met with mixed reactions from fans, some praising its creativity and originality while others find it disturbing and unsettling. Anitta had previously hinted at the surprise pregnancy in a social media post, where she was photographed wearing the same wardrobe and belly seen in the video.

The Weeknd and Anitta first debuted "Sao Paulo" during The Weeknd's "One Night Only" concert in Brazil in September. The song is expected to be part of The Weeknd's upcoming album "Hurry Up Tomorrow".

In an interview with Billboard Brasil, Anitta described the collaboration, "I wrote some verses as a joke and never imagined they would become serious. Suddenly, I received the finished song. I loved it! I felt very honored and flattered. I've always been a big fan of his and his work. I never imagined this would happen, and now it's a dream come true."

The music video for "Sao Paulo" is a testament to the artists' willingness to experiment and push boundaries in their work. The final product is a truly unsettling and unforgettable experience, perfectly capturing the spirit of Halloween.
