Abel Tesfaye's the Weeknd is making more than one appearance on the upcoming soundtrack to The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. We've heard his appearance alongside Diplo on Sia's "Elastic Heart," and now we get another taste with the solo cut "Devil May Cry."

Boasting a smooth falsetto, Tesfaye belts out the jams atop a melancholy acoustic guitar. As the instrumentation builds, so does the song's intensity. Tesfaye's singing is emphasized with some back up singers, and eventually the track transforms into an intense rock pop number perfectly suited to a big Hollywood blockbuster.

Check out "Devil May Cry" below.

The soundtrack arrives November 19 through Republic Records. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, meanwhile, hits theatres November 22.
