The Weeknd's "Hong Kong" Pairs Him With Faye Wong, Video Stars Ming Xi

The Weeknd has a new song called "Hong Kong," a duet with Cantopop singer Faye Wong. Cantopop is pop music sung in Cantonese, the language most people speak in Hong Kong. The song's music video stars model Ming Xi, according to Pitchfork.

"Hong Kong" is a power ballad, a slow, emotional love song built around big, sweeping vocals. The two singers share it, moving between English and Cantonese. The song is named after the city where it was first performed in front of an audience.

That debut came on 24 October at Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong. The song was performed live for the first time there, and the video played on a giant screen during the performance. The live premiere is the song's first public appearance.

Fans who want to hear it at home face a wait. The single has not yet been released in full on Western streaming services, the apps most people use to listen to music, and no date for that release has been announced. Listeners in other parts of the world can still watch the video, which Pitchfork reported on 12 November.

For now, the facts are simple. A new duet exists, it has been performed live in Hong Kong, and its video is out. The full release is the next thing to watch for.
