The Weeknd and Anitta Collaborate in São Paulo

The Weeknd debuted a new collaboration with Brazilian singer Anitta during his concert in São Paulo on September 7, which has become the centerpiece of his upcoming album 'Hurry Up Tomorrow'. The collaboration originated from a vocal recording Anitta provided at The Weeknd's previous show in Brazil, leading to the creation of a song titled 'São Paulo'. Both artists expressed excitement about the collaboration, with Anitta noting that her initial verses were a joke that unexpectedly turned into a serious project. The concert, outside of his current tour, was broadcast live on YouTube, generating significant interest. Anitta made a surprise appearance during the show, performing to further energize the audience. This partnership highlights the blending of Canadian and Brazilian musical influences as The Weeknd aims to showcase more Brazilian funk in his work.
