Years ago, The Weeknd covered "Dirty Diana" and referenced producer Quincy Jones in songs. Now, he channels Michael Jackson full-stop in the Max Martin-produced "Can't Feel My Face." And its music video is further evidence: The Weeknd imitates the King of Pop with his dance moves during a nightclub performance, though the crowd (including model and actress Chanel Iman) is unimpressed. Only once someone throws a lighter onto the stage, engulfing the singer in flames, do people get up and start dancing. The scene recalls the far more disturbing footage of Jackson, getting burned while shooting a Pepsi-Cola commercial in 1984—a sight that still haunts its director to this day.

Watch the "Can't Feel My Face" video over at Apple Music. Then, see Tom Cruise channel the Weeknd himself during last night's episode of The Tonight Show, and for an epic 'Lip Sync Battle.'
