Following the third installment of HBO’s The Idol, the Weeknd has shared a new batch of songs from the show. One, titled “Get It B4,” was written and performed by Moses Sumney. Abel Tesfaye has also released “A Lesser Man” and “Take Me Back,” which he penned with Mike Dean. The latter also features Jason “DaHeala” Quenneville. Listen to all three cuts below.
Sumney stars in The Idol as Izaak, a musician and devout follower of Tesfaye’s character Tedros. The controversial six-episode series stars a number of artists, such as Troye Sivan, Blackpink’s Jennie Kim, and Mike Dean (as himself).
The Weeknd has already shared multiple songs from the show’s soundtrack, The Idol, Vol. 1, which arrives June 30. Earlier this month he dropped “World Class Sinner / I’m a Freak,” which is performed by Lily-Rose Depp, who plays the pop star lead Jocelyn. Tesfaye also shared the show’s theme song “The Lure,” in addition to his Future collaboration “Double Fantasy,” and “Popular,” featuring Madonna and Playboi Carti.
