The Weeknd reigns over the remix to 16-year-old New Zealand singer-songwriter Lorde’s single “Royals.” The Canadian singer, who previously co-produced a remix to Lady Gaga’s “Marry the Night,” lends his lush production skills to the opulent record. But he keeps his vocal contributions to a minimum, adding some falsetto to the background.
His album Kiss Land arrives Sept. 10, while Lorde’s EP The Love Club is available now on iTunes.
Hear him bless the beat below.
