The Weeknd introduces his new self in his latest music video filmed to support the first single from his new studio album "Starboy". The singer murders his old self which rocked the infamous octopus dreadlocks and then walks away with a new cropped hairdo.

The "I Can't Feel My Face" hitmaker name-drops Brad Pitt and "Star Trek" among other pop cultures in the title track. He collaborates with Daft Punk for the song. The EDM duo is featured in the music video through a poster hanging on the wall. Although it's newly released, the video has already nabbed a Best Video nomination at the upcoming MTV Europe Music Awards.
