The Weeknd and Playboi Carti have unveiled the highly anticipated music video for their latest collaboration, “Timeless.” Directed by Gunner Stahl, the video, released on Monday (Sept. 30), perfectly complements the track’s dark and captivating vibe.
The video, shot entirely in black and white, features the two artists in a desolate warehouse setting. Carti, sporting an Allen Iverson football jersey, Opium chains, and a double-horned hat, embodies his signature style. The Weeknd, true to his recent aesthetic, maintains a mysterious presence throughout.
A Visual Feast of Shadows and Style
The video is a visual feast, with striking imagery and a distinct absence of color, emphasizing the song’s intensity. A group of scantily clad female dancers adds to the atmosphere, their movements echoing the track’s sensual undertones.
