One of three high profile collabs in The Weeknd’s forthcoming Beauty Behind the Madness has surfaced online and it is dope af.
‘Prisoner’, a track featuring the great Lana Del Rey, is the perfect Immaculate Conception. The Weeknd’s smooth vocal and Del Rey’s signature husky sound flows perfectly next to each other.
The chorus is a little troublesome (am not a fan of lumbering beat), but the rest of this track is, like I said before, dope af.
Listen to the song here and I’m warning you; it is addictive, you’ll hit “repeat” again and again.
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars.
