While the Weeknd has yet to reveal any other details about the album, he did share a teaser video called "The Dawn Is Coming," which features some new music. Drenched-suit, grinding-on-the-girl/boy-of-your-dreams party records. (Not "cosplay," as Abel put it.) That sort of retro thing is having a moment right now in pop music, but these records are new. Quincy Jones meets Giorgio Moroder meets the best-night-of-your-fucking-life party records. Like real-deal, illuminated-white-tiles-on-the-floor party records. The new project is packed with party records. The music hit the studio like a Mack truck. In a cover story with GQ, Abel Tesfaye told writer Mark Anthony Green that the forthcoming effort is "the album I've always wanted to make," and shared some of his latest material with him in the studio. On the heels of releasing his monumental 2020 album After Hours, the Weeknd has just confirmed plans for another new record.
