Swedish House Mafia and The Weeknd tease collaboration

Swedish House Mafia and The Weeknd appear to be teasing a new collaboration.

The Weeknd recently took to his Instagram account to post two snippets of new music, tagging the Swedish trio into the posts.

The short clips feature the lyrics, “Like a moth to a flame”, with a message also flashing up on the screen, which reads “to be continued”. You can see the posts below.

News of the potential collaboration follows on from The Weeknd recently picking out tracks by other artists on his Apple Music 1 radio show, Memento Mori, with a focus on those who’d inspired his next album. Swedish House Mafia were among those artists, with music by Kanye West, Britney Spears, Nas and more also featuring.

The new album appears to still be in production, though The Weeknd has teased that it should be finished by the end of the month.

Swedish House Mafia were among the artists who performed at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards this past weekend.

Last month, the trio confirmed they were preparing to release their first new album in nine years, ‘Paradise Again‘, which is set to arrive before the end of 2021.
