The Weeknd saca al genio de la lámpara: así suena su nuevo temazo, 'Popular', junto a Madonna y Playboi Carti
El músico canadiense ha creado un auténtico himno junto a la Reina del Pop
The Weeknd, en el Festival de Cannesc2023 / Mondadori Portfolio
De una canción entre The Weeknd, Madonna y Playboi Carti no podíamos esperar nada más que un temazo en mayúsculas y con sus seis letras. Y eso es exactamente lo que nos ha entregado este trío para estrenar el mes de junio. El canadiense ha sacado al genio de la lámpara para convertir Popular en un auténtico himno a la altura de Blinding lights o I feel it coming.
Puede que su producción, su guión o su interpretación en The Idol, la nueva serie que ha creado de la mano del director Sam Levinson (Euphoria) se esté llevando despiadadas críticas por parte de la prensa especializada pero desde luego no será por el apartado sonoro.
Porque The Weeknd vuelve a exhibir músculo creativo a la hora de aportar sus canciones a la banda sonora de esta creación televisiva cuyo estreno ya está aquí. The Idol Vol.1 puede convertirse en otro de los hitos musicales del músico gracias a canciones como la que le unión a Future, Double fantasy, o esta colaboración con el rapero Playboi Carti y Madonna.

La mezcla de géneros es absolutamente brillante y la combinación de voces es bestial durante toda la canción. Parece que estamos escuchando un temazo que hubiera firmado el mismísimo Prince o la propia Reina del Pop en los años 80.
Para presentar la canción ha recurrido a las imágenes de la presentación de The Idol en Cannes. Desde la fiesta privada del reparto, hasta la posterior celebración sobre la alfombra roja y la post-party por todo lo alto junto a actores, actrices, equipo de la producción...

Esta es la letra de Popular de The Weeknd, Madonna y Playboi Carter:
I've seen the devil
Down Sunset
in every place
in every face
Yeah, yeah
Tell me, do you see her? (Yeah)
She's livin' her life (Uh)
Even if she acts like she don't want the limelight (Uh, yeah, uh, uh)
But if you knew her (Yeah)
she lives a lie
She calls the paparazzi
then she acts surprised, oh
Oh, I know what she needs (Oh-oh)
She just want the fame
I know what she finds (Oh-oh)
Give her a little taste
runnin' back to me (Oh-oh)
Put it in her veins
pray her soul to keep, ooh, ooh
Every night (Every night, uh)
she prays to the sky
Flashin' lights
is all she ever wants to see
Beggin' on your knees to be popular
That's her dream, to be popular (eh)
Kill anyone to be popular
Sell her soul to be popular
Popular, just to be popular (aha)
Everybody scream 'cause she popular
She mainstream 'cause she popular
Never be free 'cause she popular
Money on top of me, money on top of her (Uh)
Money on top of me, money on top of her (Uh)
Shawty fuck with me 'cause she know I'm popular (Uh)
Shawty fuck with me 'cause she know I'm popular
I know that you see me
time's gone by
Spend my whole life runnin' from your flashin' lights
Try to own it
but I'm alright
You can't take my soul without a fuckin' fight (oh)
Oh, I know what she needs (Oh)
She just want the fame
I know what she fiends (Oh)
Give her a little taste
runnin' back to me (Oh)
Put it in her veins
pray her soul to keep, ooh, ooh
Every night (Every night)
she prays to the sky (Oh)
Flashin' lights
is all she ever wants to see
Beggin' on her knees to be popular (Oh)
That's her dream, to be popular (Hey)
Kill anyone to be popular
Sell her soul to be popular
Popular, just to be popular (aha)
Everybody scream 'cause she popular (Hey)
She mainstream 'cause she popular
Never be free 'cause she popular
Money on top of me, money on top of her (Uh)
Money on top of me, money on top of her (Uh)
Shawty fuck with me 'cause she know I'm popular (Uh)
Shawty fuck with me 'cause she know I'm popular (Uh)
Money on top of me, money on top of her (Uh)
Money on top of me, money on top of her (Uh)
Shawty fuck with me 'cause she know I'm popular (Uh)
Shawty fuck with me 'cause she know I'm popular
I'm gettin' money and I'm keepin' it
I'm gettin' cash and I'm keepin' it
Money on top of me, money on top of her
Shawty fuck with me 'cause she know I'm popular
Pop-popular, born to be popular
She in debt, twenty mill', but she run it up
She can never be broke 'cause she popular
Turn the webcam on for the followers
Beggin' on her knees to be popular
That's her dream, to be popular (Hey)
Kill anyone to be popular
Sell her soul to be popular
Popular, just to be popular (Uh)
Everybody scream 'cause she popular (Hey)
She mainstream 'cause she popular
Never be free 'cause she popular
