AceShowbiz - The Weeknd, whose given name is Abel Tesfaye, drops his latest music video for "Drive," a track from his recently released album "Hurry Up Tomorrow". Directed by Trey Edward Shults, it serves as a sneak peek into the cinematic experience of the forthcoming feature film of the same name.

The video stars Jenna Ortega, who alongside The Weeknd, navigates the highs and lows of nocturnal escapades. It takes the viewer on a journey from the electrifying lights of amusement park rides to the haunting solitude of empty landscapes.

Ortega and The Weeknd's paths diverge as the video progresses; while she finds solace in the freedom of a road trip, he spirals into a profound sense of isolation.

"Late nights turn into lonely mornings" encapsulates the somber tone of the music video. The juxtaposition of communal amusement park rides and being alone at home speaks volumes about the complexity of fame and personal relationships.

The lyrics "And I roll the window down, don't ever think I'll be this happy/ You know I love autonomy/ 'Cause fame is a disease," echo The Weeknd's recurring theme of the double-edged sword that is fame.

The climax of the video is nothing short of intense. As "Drive" transitions seamlessly into "Baptized in Fear," the narrative shifts dramatically. The Weeknd is shown submerged in water, a metaphor for drowning in one's fears and anxieties.

"I fell asleep in the tub, I was met with paralysis/ My foot hit the faucet, water started flowing in/ Couldn't scream for help, I just slowly felt the pressure hit," he sings, illustrating a gripping scene of engulfing despair.

This era likely marks the end of Tesfaye's journey as The Weeknd, a persona he states has reached its zenith. "Everything needs to feel like a challenge. And for me right now, the Weeknd, whatever that is, it's been mastered," Tesfaye shared in an earlier interview with Variety.

With "Drive" and "Hurry Up Tomorrow", he appears poised to exit on an incredibly high note, leaving fans to eagerly anticipate what comes next.
