Ever since he delivered a show-stopping cover of "Dirty Diana" on Echoes Of Silence, The Weeknd's affinity for Michael Jackson's been no secret. Today, though, he delivers what might be his most M.J.-esque original track to date. Following "I Can't Feel My Face," here's "In The Night."
Outfitted with a retro bounce, the track has Abel Tesfaye giving us his best falsetto throughout, gliding over glossy synths on this radio-ready track. When viewed alongside "I Can't Feel My Face," "In The Night" suggests that Tesfaye's yet-to-be-titled new album will be his poppiest yet, taking his dark, lustful paeans out of the bedroom and into a dimly-lit VIP section.

Quotable Lyrics
It make her weak when she hear it
And it got her on her knees like religion
She was young and she was supposed to be a woman
Yeah all the time, all the time
