The Weeknd shares Dawn FM album cover
The Weeknd has unveiled the cover for his Dawn FM album before its release this Friday (7 January).
After teasing the imminent arrival of his new album on socials over the past few days, The Weeknd finally confirmed the title and release date of his follow-up to 2020's After Hours yesterday (3 January).
The new album, titled Dawn FM, was announced with a one-minute trailer, which confirmed contributions from Tyler, the Creator, Lil Wayne, Quincy Jones, Oneohtrix, and Jim Carrey.
This afternoon (4 January) The Weeknd shared the Dawn FM cover, which sees him as an older man, similar to what was previewed in yesterday's album trailer.
As well as sharing the album cover, The Weeknd launched a pre-save link for the record, but the tracklist is yet to be revealed.
