It’s really gonna go down as a footnote in his discography to the masses and I hate it
Nah, it’ll have it’s time in the future.
It was a very awkward release so that’s why I think the reaction seemed kinda stunted. No rollout, borderline surprise release, and it dropped the first week of the year so it kinda got overshadowed by other major releases as the year went on.
That’s why I will always say January is the worst month to drop any kind of media

Released just seven days into 2022, Dawn FM felt a bit like the New Year’s Eve party that really should have wrapped up five – maybe six – days ago. In a good way. But now is when we should acknowledge, upfront, that using a radio station as a conceptual hook for an album is usually a thin veil for a lack of direction. Nevertheless, Abel Tesfaye – a.k.a. The Weeknd – programmed Dawn FM with just enough bleak narratives and morning-after dread to render the interstitial anchorman and tacky ads effective. Lead producer Oneohtrix Point Never is at the peak of his powers here, beaming Tesfaye’s vocals through a prism so gloomy and cavernous you forget you’re listening to the second-most streamed artist in the world. “Obsessing over aftermaths/ Apocalypse and hopelessness,” he sings breathlessly on Gasoline over Kraftwerk-indebted synths. It won’t go down as his most popular record, but there’s a case for this purgatory radio station being remembered as one of Tesfaye’s most compelling.
