The Weeknd's upcoming album Dawn FM comes after an almost two-year wait for fans. The singer last released After Hours in February 2020 and later that year, in March, a deluxe version of After Hours which contained a few extra singles.

The album made quite a buzz, having the hit track Blinding Lights on it. The song, initially a pre-release, debuted at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number one.

After Hours was a huge accomplishment for The Weeknd, becoming the most-streamed R&B album of all time, taking over the previous record, coincidentally belonging to the singer himself, for Starboy.

With all of the merit the singer has built up over his career, fans and non-fans alike are anticipating the release of Dawn FM to see what artistry Abel will be displaying in his latest album.
