The Weeknd Welcomes the Light in New Album 'Dawn FM'
The dawn has finally arrived.
The Weeknd has officially dropped off his latest studio album, Dawn FM.
Clocking in at approximately 50 minutes, the 16-track record features high-profile appearances from Tyler, the Creator on “Here We Go… Again”, Lil Wayne on “I Heard You’re Married”, Quincy Jones, Oneohtrix Point Never and Jim Carrey on the outro “Phantom Regret.” Prior to the album release, he held a special livestream experience with Amazon Music. “The power of the 103.5 Dawn FM experience is that maximum fulfillment comes when all who hear it are tuned in at the same time,” he shared in a statement.
Dawn FM is billed as the followup to After Hours and has been teased by the XO Records head for a while. In May 2021, The Weeknd confirmed that the After Hours era is over and that “the dawn is coming.” He stuck with the motif for the rest of the year and hinted at the new record using cryptic Instagram posts.
