What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Weeknd released the song “Hong Kong (feat. 王菲季候風),” which samples Faye Wong’s 1993 hit “Monsoon”. The single’s artwork featured a photograph from Christopher Doyle’s personal collection, which was used in Wong Kar-wai’s film Chungking Express. The song’s release during The Weeknd’s highest-grossing tour caused the original version of “Monsoon” to rise on charts across China.
