The Weeknd – The Knowing official video

With every new track and video, The Weeknd further cements his status as the king of the R&B weirdness that’s been infusing the music world lately. But when we saw his new video for ‘The Knowing’, our brains punched a wall and jumped over some burning wreckage on a skateboard because we were just so happy. The video takes place on a pretend planet sometime in the future where naked women worship buff, horny space-gods and everything looks like a Sci-Fi Channel special effect. It’s the perfect post-Thanksgiving treat, space-tech visuals and sexualized grooves while we lie on our gross bloated turkey-stomachs. Thank you, Baste God.
