There’s been some speculation recently over a possible collaboration between French music duo Justice and Canadian musician The Weeknd. The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, posted several photos of Justice performing on his Instagram story, including an image with an eye adorned with their cross symbol. American producer Mike Dean, who has worked with both The Weeknd and Justice, also shared photos of the pair together, fueling rumors of a collaboration on the horizon.
The two artists were first seen together at the Cannes Film Festival after-party last year, following the premiere of The Idol, directed by The Weeknd and Euphoria’s Sam Levinson, which featured music from Justice’s ‘Planisphere.’ Although The Weeknd previously claimed that he wouldn’t be doing any more features until Daft Punk reunited, he’s excited to work with Justice. “Those guys [Daft Punk] are one of the reasons I make music,” he told Variety in 2021.
Both Justice and The Weeknd are expected to release new music in 2024. Confirmation of Justice’s fourth studio album was announced by Ed Banger founder Pedro Winter last year. The upcoming album will be their first release since 2016’s ‘Woman.’ Similarly, The Weeknd discussed an unnamed project with magazines W and Variety last summer. He recently posted a suspected hint at a new album on Instagram, reigniting interest.
The post featured three images in a carousel, the album covers for 2020’s ‘After Hours’ and 2022’s ‘Dawn’ FM, followed by a question mark on a blank background stamped with the iconic Parental Advisory label.
