VIDEO PREMIERE: THE WEEKND | SACRIFICE (REMIX) (FEAT. SWEDISH MAFIA HOUSE) (ALTERNATE WORLD)
Updated: Jan 27, 2022
The Weeknd has released a remix of "Dawn FM" single ‘Sacrifice’ with Swedish House Mafia, who co-produced the original track. This rework of ‘Sacrifice’ doubles down on the vintage disco-inspired sound that characterizes ‘Dawn FM.’ It introduces drums that sound closer to the song’s original Alicia Myers sample, 1981’s "I Want to Thank You," which build up to sections that capture the euphoric sound of Swedish House Mafia. This new remix arrived today (January 12) with a new music video that takes The Weeknd – real name Abel Tesfaye – away from the original single’s darkened music video’s darkened chamber into an indoor basketball court culminating a dance sequence of flashy voguing. The remix is part of a new edition of his latest album titled "Dawn FM (Alternate World)." Last year, the trio of Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso teamed up with The Weeknd on the single "Moth To A Flame," which is the final track on ‘Dawn FM (Alternate World).’ Also included on the new edition of the album is a remix of ‘Take My Breath’ by melodic techno duo Agents of Time. The Weeknd’s fifth studio album ‘Dawn FM’ was released last Friday (January 7), serving as the sequel to his 2020 full-length album "After Hours."
