The Weeknd has enlisted the help of Jim Carrey, Quincy Jones, Tyler, the Creator, Lil Wayne, and Oneohtrix Point Never for his upcoming album, Dawn FM, which will be released on Friday.
In an appropriately somber Instagram teaser, the new Abel Tesfaye — gone are the bandages of the After Hours era — arrives in a black ride, only to be dragged away by a group of individuals in cloaks. Tesfaye suddenly blinks into a bright light, a woman undulates, a terrifying figure in red appears, and a voice that looks to be Jim Carrey
After a few days of announcing on Instagram, with subtle references to “dawn” and a screencap of a text message hinting at new music, the reveal has arrived. The musician has also released new music with FKA Twigs and a posthumous tune with Aaliyah in recent weeks. He’s also collaborated with Post Malone and Rosalía recently.
