The Weeknd drops “How Do I Make You Love Me?” video and remix
Sebastian Ingrosso and Salvatore Ganacci’s new take on the Dawn FM cut arrives alongside an animated short for the original track directed by Jocelyn Charles.
The Weeknd has extended the Dawn FM universe yet again with two new pieces: an animated short — directed by Jocelyn Charles, in collaboration with Cliqua and the Weeknd himself — to accompany the album’s third track, “How Do I Make You Love Me?,” and a new version of that same song, remixed by Swedish DJs Sebastian Ingrosso and Salvatore Ganacci. (Ingrosso recently performed a headlining set with the Weeknd at Coachella as a member of Swedish House Mafia.)
In the original track’s new visual treatment, the Weeknd’s animated avatar escapes a hospital room by leaping from the window of a skyscraper. He magically survives, and gory chaos ensues. Ingrosso and Ganacci’s rendition of the song strips Oneohtrix Point Never’s production to its bare essentials, replacing it with a heavy dose of sub-bass and deep-house drum machine.
