The Weeknd’s previous album After Hours was released right as the world was falling into the throes of the pandemic; after scrapping material that he felt was wallowing in the depression he was feeling at the time, Dawn FM arrives as a by-product of\u2014and answer to\u2014that turmoil. Here, he replaces woeful introspection with a bit of upbeat fantasy\u2014the result of creatively searching for a way out of the claustrophobic reality of the previous two years. With the experience of hosting and curating music for his very own MEMENTO MORI radio show on Apple Music as his guiding light, Dawn FM is crafted in a similar fashion, complete with a DJ to set the tone for the segments within. \u201cIt\u2019s time to walk into the light and accept your fate with open arms,\u201d the host, voiced by Jim Carrey, declares on the opening track. \u201cScared? Don’t worry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, there is nothing to fear. The Weeknd packs the first half with euphoric bursts that include the Swedish House Mafia-assisted \u201cHow Do I Make You Love Me?\u201d and \u201cSacrifice.\u201d On the back half, he moves into the more serene waters of \u201cIs There Someone Else?\u201d and \u201cStarry Eyes.\u201d Despite the somewhat morose album cover, which reflects what many feel like as they wade through the seemingly endless purgatory of a life dictated by a virus, he\u2019s aiming for something akin to hope in all of this gloom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
