The Weeknd delivers Dawn FM, the hotly-anticipated follow-up to 2020's widely-acclaimed After Hours. The new album serves as his fifth in addition to three mixtapes released in 2011. A video trailer introduces Dawn FM as "A new sonic universe from the mind of The Weeknd" and namedrops Jim Carrey, Quincy Jones, Tyler, the Creator, Lil Wayne and Oneohtrix Point Never before it closes with a radio-DJ voiceover saying, "You are now listening to 103.5: Dawn FM. You've been in the dark for way too long, it's time to walk into the light and accept your fate with open arms." The evocative cover art for the project finds Abel Tesfaye aging himself and transforming into a much older man.
