The Weeknd Taps Rosalía For A New Spanish-Infused ‘Blinding Lights’ Remix

The original version of ‘Blinding Lights’ came out over a year ago and it’s still near the top of the charts. …

A few days ago was the one-year anniversary of The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights,” which amazingly hasn’t really moved that far off the peak of the charts. Even more amazingly, it didn’t rack up a single Grammy nomination despite being perhaps the year’s biggest song. Whatever the case, The Weeknd is continuing to celebrate the track, doing so today with a new remix featuring Rosalía.

The track doesn’t have any big aesthetic changes or compositional changes beyond slotting Rosalía in here and there. She adds new vocal contributions throughout the song, including an opening verse that translates to, “I tried to call / I’ve been alone a lot, actually / Maybe you teach me how to love / Maybe / I no longer consume nothing / And you won’t have to do too much / If you touch me you will light me up / Baby.”

As for Rosalía, she has had a relatively quiet year. That might be because she has resisted the pressure to force creativity during the pandemic, as she said previously, “There’s this kind of pressure to be creative or busy most of the time, with lots of activities and progress, and I’m trying to run from that. I’m trying to do things that help keep me mentally healthy, and if that includes making music, then great. But I won’t lie — there are days when I just watch a show and eat a packet of cookies.”

Michael Chagnon’s latest single, “The Way That You Move,” has the raw power of a late-night ignition and the charged atmosphere of a crowded, sweaty venue. The track starts with a guitar strike that sends it forward with nonstop energy, combining the intensity of garage rock with the urgency of pop dance. It is a track that not only wants to be heard, but also felt.

The track has a strong, catchy hook that makes it exciting. The rock-inspired instruments build to a strong energy, and the pulsing beat makes it easy to dance to, keeping your heart rate up. The story has a movie-like quality, like a high-stakes chase through brightly lit city streets where danger and desire meet in a noir-like setting. Every beat has a sense of urgency, and every riff has a purpose.

The best thing about “The Way That You Move” is how strong it is. There are no extras or unnecessary distractions, just real, pure rock energy delivered with confidence. The raw production adds to the song’s appeal, giving it a dynamic quality that works well in both small spaces and big crowds. This song is great in small spaces, where sound, movement, and emotion come together to form an unstoppable force.

Michael Chagnon describes movement not just as physical action, but also as an emotional force. The song is full of tension, release, and a steady rhythm that makes it impossible to be still. “The Way That You Move” is a powerful reminder of how rock can bring people together, energize them, and inspire them, whether it’s coming through speakers or echoing in a live venue. This is moving music that keeps going and going.
