The Weeknd has revealed his video for "Tell Your Friends", his single featuring production from Kanye West.
Grant Singer has directed the visuals, which sees Abel Tesfaye burying himself alive, shooting a strange looking gentlemen in the face, and driving off into the distance.
Tesfaye has shared a preview of each track on his upcoming LP, Beauty Behind The Madness, in a calculated 'self-leak'.
Beauty Behind The Madness will be released by XO/Republic on 28 August.
Watch the video for "Tell Your Friends" below, and then peek at The Week(nd)'s "leak" after.
