Vitamin String Quartet have shared a new live performance video of their instrumental interpretation of “Blinding Lights,” offering a string-led reimagining of the chart-topping hit by The Weeknd. The performance arrives alongside a new vinyl-only compilation dedicated to The Weeknd’s catalog, featuring VSQ renditions of songs including “Save Your Tears,” “Can’t Feel My Face,” and “Earned It.” The release brings together more than a decade of the group’s engagement with his music in one physical collection.
James Curtiss, Director of A&R and Creative Director for CMH Label Group, says, “The Weeknd has been a fixture in pop music for over a decade now and has been a huge part of VSQ’s world for almost as long. Between 2 EPs and appearances on hits comps, VSQ has amassed over a dozen renditions of The Weeknd songs that are as essential to the quartet’s work as any other artist.” The news also coincides with the Season 4 premiere of Bridgerton, which features VSQ arrangements of Coldplay’s “Life in Technicolor” and Third Eye Blind’s “Never Let You Go,” continuing the group’s presence across pop culture and screen.
