The Weeknd has released more music that he made for HBO’s The Idol. Arriving ahead of the fourth episode is the singer’s cover of John Lennon’s Imagine song “Jealous Guy.” (The Weeknd teased his “Jealous Guy” cover in April and he performed it live in Norway earlier this week.) Listen to the cover—produced by Mike Dean and the Weeknd—below.
The Weeknd had initially planned to release an Idol soundtrack album on June 30, but he’s instead been releasing tracks from the show in weekly installments. Corresponding with the first episode, he shared “The Lure (Main Theme)” and Lily-Rose Depp’s “World Class Sinner / I’m a Freak”; to go with the second episode, he shared “Family,” “Double Fantasy,” and Mike Dean’s “Devil’s Paradise”; and the third episode’s mini-soundtrack featured “A Lesser Man,” “Take Me Back,” and Moses Sumney’s “Get It B4.” The Weeknd has also released the Idol single “Popular.”
Tonight, along with “Jealous Guy,” the Weeknd has released “One of the Girls” (with Lily-Rose Depp and Jennie from Blackpink) and “Fill the Void” (performed by Lily-Rose Depp and Ramsey).
