The Weeknd teases new short film called 'Mania'

Coming soon.

If there's anything we haven't had a shortage of this year, it's short films from musicians.

The Weeknd is joining the ranks of Beyoncé, Drake and Vince Staples with a new "visual piece," presumably set to accompany his forthcoming album Starboy.

With a black panther, sultry scenes, luxury vehicles and sinister stares, it's sure to be a doozy.

The project is in collaboration with Grant Singer, the director behind the majority of Abel Tesfaye's music videos—including "The Hills," "Can't Feel My Face" and, more recently, "Starboy."

Starboy the album will be available on Nov. 25, and by the looks of Tesfaye's face, he's really, really excited about everyone hearing it.
