<\/div>\n

The Weeknd<\/a> unveiled a new remix of his After Hours <\/i><\/a>single, \u201cBlinding Lights,\u201d reworked by Major Lazer<\/a>, as well as new video for his previously-released version of \u201cHeartless\u201d featuring Lil Uzi Vert.<\/p>\n

The new version of \u201cBlinding Lights\u201d finds Major Lazer stretching the original\u2019s breakneck pulse into a lurching dancehall groove that eventually settles into a classic EDM build up. The drop, when it arrives, is completely reworked too, with a mix of synths that blare like horns twisting around the careening drums.<\/p>\n

The new clip for the Lil Uzi Vert remix of \u201cHeartless,\u201d meanwhile, is a moody montage that mixes live action and animation, and captures the Weeknd, as his mustachioed After Hours <\/i>character, in an endless night of excess, malaise and heartbreak.<\/p>\n
