Abel Tesfaye gives fans a preview of what to expect for the final installment of his popular album trilogy.
The artist formerly known as The Weeknd delivered a lengthy snippet of an unreleased song on Tuesday, July 23. In the ominous trailer, a dramatic piano-laced instrumental plays as Tesfaye begins to croon the chorus. His soothing vocals are accompanied by trippy visuals that seemingly depict his inner child.

Tesfaye — who serves as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations World Food Programme — plans to partner with the organization once again to contribute $1 from each ticket sold from his São Paulo show to the XO Humanitarian Fund, which aids people in need during the ongoing global hunger crisis. Presale tickets are available now. Look out for Tesfaye's new album coming soon.
