The Weeknd shared a brief trailer for a short film documenting his current “After Hours” era, and announced that it will be dropping today.

The Weeknd took to social media yesterday to share a teaser for his short film After Hours to go along with his album rollout. The film follows his journey over the past few months leading up to the release of his new project.

The film opens with Abel performing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! earlier this year, then Jimmy says the “The Weeknd, everybody!”, all the while he’s in character with this new person we’ve seen in his recent videos and on his album artwork. The singer walks offstage and his demeanor quickly changes from upbeat to somber and he’s suddenly outside, seemingly a little battered and wandering around a dark city…dun dun dun
