Vevo and The Weeknd complete their trilogy of Official Live Performances with “Faith,” from The Weeknd’s chart-topping album After Hours (XO Records / Republic Records). The three cinematic visuals “Alone Again,” “In Your Eyes,” and “Faith” were directed by Vevo and filmed at their studio located in Los Angeles, CA.
Vevo and The Weeknd first worked together in 2016 with exclusive “Vevo Presents” performances. Since then, The Weeknd has established himself as one of the world’s most multifaceted artists. He has recently been named one of the most influential people of 2020 by Time Magazine, announced as the 2021’s Super Bowl Halftime Performer, and was the winner of three American Music Awards. Regarded for his creative vision, The Weeknd is known for his genre-bending music, and redefinition of storytelling, both sonically and visually.

His vision and creativity as an artist is truly unique and that’s particularly evident in these pieces. We hope fans enjoy watching these performances just as much as we did creating them.”
