A Familiar Face
SHM’s performance, however special it might be, had its peak right at the end. On the big screen used as a stage for the trio a small teaser appeared. It began with the ending of the ‘Lifetime’ video, right when Sebastian Ingrosso puts his hand through the wall we’ve seen in both videos. The Weekend’s voice and a small snippet of the melody were shown for only a couple of seconds, but that was more than enough for everyone to go crazy.
It had long been theorized that this collab was coming. The Swedish House Mafia & The Weeknd have the same manager, so a collab between the biggest EDM supergroup and one of the biggest pop artists was a no-brainer. It’s still way too early to give a developed opinion about the track. However, we can make some assumptions. The melody has a groove and rhythm that reminded me a lot of the collabs the Weeknd did with Daft Punk.
