He not slick putting this out the same day the Grammy nominations are being announced, this nigga petty

Picture the album being like the listener is dead. And they’re stuck in this purgatory state, which I always imagined would be like being stuck in traffic waiting to reach the light at the end of the tunnel. And while you’re stuck in traffic, they got a radio station playing in the car, with a radio host guiding you to the light and helping you transition to the other side. So it could feel celebratory, could feel bleak, however you want to make it feel, but that’s what The Dawn is for me.

Is this pretty much confirmation the album is called ‘The Dawn’ ?

im split on that. still have an inclination that won't be the full title

Unbelievably hard

this pic is hard as f*** bro

"he recorded After Hours tracks “Scared To Live” and “Save Your Tears” during the same session at New York’s Jungle City Studios as “Blinding Lights.” I KNEW IT

" GTA: Vice City really opened my eyes to a lot of ’80s music, so there was a nostalgia for when I was a kid playing video games and listening to Hall & Oates and Michael Jackson while driving through the city."

The vibes have been restored

for the cringelords

Lamar Taylor - "He knows exactly what he wants. If you’re a true Weeknd fan, then you understand sonically where he was going with his music. He was always headed in this direction. It was always building up to something like this"

OPN influence,his last album was like a radio station

Just ordered the whole pack

I started writing the next album during the pandemic, which felt like we’re all in this scary, unknown territory. And I wanted to make music I thought sounded like going outside — I was obsessed with that feeling. I just felt like I didn’t know how to make this album until now. It probably would be too ambitious for me prior. I knew what I liked, but I felt like I didn’t have the skill sets to deliver that type of project until now.

“ So you’ll hear EDM, hip-hop and three other types of sounds in one song — and somehow, we make it work.”
