About Dawn FM by The Weeknd Album

Dawn FM is the fifth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter The Weeknd that was released on the 7th of January, 2022 by XO and Republic Records. The album was preceded by the lead single Take My Breath, which peaked at number six on the US Billboard Hot 100. Intended to serve as a direct follow-up to his fourth studio album After Hours, Dawn FM features guest appearances from Jim Carrey, Tyler, the Creator and Lil Wayne. The album, which is primarily produced by the Weeknd, features additional contributions from Max Martin, Oscar Holter, Swedish House Mafia, Quincy Jones, and Oneohtrix Point Never, among others. The Weeknd first teased the album in May 2021 during an interview with Variety, where he stated that "The Dawn is coming". On January 1, 2022, The Weeknd teased a possible surprise album release on Instagram, where he shared a screenshot of a text conversation contemplating releasing the album soon. On January 3, he revealed the album's official title and announced it would be released on January 7, 2022. In the United States, Dawn FM debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 with 148,000 album-equivalent units, calculated from 173.04 million on-demand streams and 14,000 pure album copies; it was blocked from the top spot by American rapper Gunna's DS4Ever, which debuted with an extra 2,300 units that week. Dawn FM marked the Weeknd's eighth top 10 entry and his first studio album since Kiss Land to debut at number two. In the United Kingdom, Dawn FM debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart with over 20,000 units, becoming the Weeknd's third number-one album. It is the first album released in 2022 to top the chart. On February 21, 2022, The Weeknd announced The Dawn FM Experience, a television music special with Amazon Prime Video that premiered on February 26. The special was directed by Micah Bickham and features live performances, theater, and performance art for a "night out at the club." A ten-track live EP composed of the songs The Weeknd performed during the special was made available to stream exclusively on Amazon Music. The Dawn FM Experience entered the UK Albums Chart in March 2022, peaking at number 92.

- Amazing

Beats crazy’s love love 💜💜💜💜

- DAWN FM

A work of Art 🖼 AKA a Masterpiece 🔥 10/10

- Yes!

The Weeknd has done it again! Fav tracks are Sacrifice and Less than Zero!

- i have nothing to say

It's just bad it says, it's saying for itself👌🏿

- The best

I love it

- Worst album to date

Miss his old stuff…even his newer old stuff. This? Not it.

- No skips

Such a great feeling album. I love it.

- Light Airy Pop

Human League, Erasure, Duran Duran, New Order, A Flock of Seagulls, Pet Shop Boys, Early Depeche Mode. ‘Gasoline’ sounds exactly like Human League. Phenomenal song. Enjoyed the record. Everything old is new again.

- Gen Z music

This is also the soundtrack to Kardashian’s/Jenner’s/people living in LA.

- Perfect

I love the flow of the album, and the theme. He did so good, definitely one of the most artistic albums he’s released.

- Great

I was hooked from the start and love the beats. It never disappoints and all the songs are great!! Don't listen to anybody who saying bad about this album. My first The Weekend purchase and I so happy about it!!

- Bad

Horrible album from The Weeknd …..

- Incredible

By far my favorite so far. Gasoline kicks. 💥💥💥

- The best

“Is there someone else?” is the best Weeknd song ever.

- Masterpiece

This whole album a W, from great vocals to incredible production, all the way to top tier theme and story, truly one of a kind

- 𝘞𝘰𝘢𝘩!

𝘐 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘪𝘵...📀🎼

- French House/Nu Disco Soul Cleanser

Strong Duck Sauce “Quack” vibes. I’ll take a concept album over a hit chaser any day. Continuous four on the floor disco beats keep the party going for as long as you need it.

- Don’t break my heart

Vocals really a vibe before the next songs plays. Keep it up Abel 👍

- Abel never fails

Without fail, Abel provides us with an album that takes you through a myriad of emotions. Don’t be fooled by the 80’s city pop and synth wave. This man’s lyrics show us the depth of melancholy in a life that is depicted by depression and possible regret. A true artist.

- Wonderful

I am obsessed with this album. Admittedly, I've never listened to a whole album of The Weeknd's before, but I do love a lot of his songs. 80s vibes are real here. I love putting this album on when I'm doing creative writing.

- Great piece of art.

It’s always dope seeing how Able is so flexible with his music styles. He doesn’t an amazing job incorporating new sounds and vibes into his immersive world. Grateful to live in the same generation as this master of his music. 🔥

- Again?

You used to be so good 🤦🏽‍♀️

- (

If you don’t like the weekend just leave and listen to someone you like just don’t hate it’s not nice I understand if someone bullied you but can’t just take it out on a artist HAVE PEACE ✌️:D Love Sofia

- The best

I like this Album a lot

- A magic filled journey

I discovered this album a week ago and I absolutely cannot stop listening to it! It depicts a synth wave radio station with Jim Carrey as the disk jockey/ narrator which is so cool. I can’t get the sounds of the opening track Dawn FM and the transition of Best Friends and Is There Someone Else out of my head it’s that good! Dawn FM is the best album of the year.

- Best Album Forever!!!

It’s such a good album from the groovy baseline of “Out of time” to the upbeat drums of “Less than Zero” it’s an amazing and groovy album.

- MUST BUY

This album was worth every cent. Abel back at it again with another hit!

- Need ringtones for this album

Release how do I make you love me as a ringtone already and out of time 🥲😩

- Disappointed

After hours was so good This is cheesy

- Flock of Seagulls meets Michael Jackson?

Eh, I like the 80’s, but nobody is ready for a full comeback yet. Illuminati is pointing you in the wrong direction bud. Maybe you should learn a bit from Kid Rock or Aaron Lewis (as they are topping the charts in all genre) and sing something about patriotism and our country instead of sacrifice?

- I can’t workout to this

Shallow

- Another Weeknd Success

The album is a must listen. Its more of a radio station than an actual album with transitions from one song to the next. It brings some nostalgic to it. Got some Daft Punk, MJ, and Prince influences. Jim Carrey was a great addition along with Quincy Jones. My fav song is Sacrifice. The others are great. 🔥🔥💯💯

- Vapor wave

This gives me vapor wave vibes

- ALBUM OF THE YEAR

This album is truly legendary. I was expecting good from Abel but this is even better than anything I could have expected!

- Sounds like a Monday

Lol terrible.

- Remembering the gold experience

I kept thinking of another album and it finally hit me. Prince’s the gold experience has the same vibe with the dialogue. Enjoying this immensely!

- Transition

I love the album. Very nice transition from the old Weeknd. Words are the art of a thousand thoughts. Just adapt and you will understand.

- One of the Best Albums

I love this album. Yes it has flaws but for example, thriller had some too. This album has so much fun styles that are so cool. Sacrifice is a bop, Take My Breath is so good. I don’t think this album is bad other than the Gasoline UK accent. This album is one The Weeknd’s best and I love this project.

- Japanese 80s music rip off

So I’m guessing The Weeknd found the Japaneses gold era of the 80s and decided to steal the beat lol.

- 🇺🇸🇭🇺💙💚🧑🏻‍🦲

📺🏠🍩🍪🥛

- Hello 1980’s!

I never leave reviews but my god, this album…amazing.

- What an experience

Gotta listen with headphones from start to finish. No interruptions. That’s when it sounds the best.

- Love it

W album

- ABSOLUTE FLOP

every song sounds the same, genuinely a fan of his but this album is not it. also don’t feel like listening to love songs about angelina Jolie but that’s just a personal opinion

- Dumb.

Dumb album cover. Wow.

- This is something else

To be honest, I never heard anything like Dawn FM. To me, it’s not just some album, it’s something I can relate to. I love listening to Sacrifice and Out of Time. But Less Than Zero is so different to me. I can listen to Less Than Zero all day, every day, and not get sick of it.

- Fantastic as ever!

Keep it up! Every album gets better. Love the 80s style.

- Something new and I love it!!!

This album was a piece and art and although it was different then what we are used to hearing from The Weeknd, it was amazing in its own way. Personally, Best Friends is my favorite off this album but there are plenty more songs that I fell in love with. I feel as though many listeners expected the music we are used to receiving from Abel (his old hits) but an artist that doesn’t evolve isn’t a true artist. We can still listen to his past music instead of mourning it as it will always be there but now we have something new to add to the collection.

- AMAZING!!!

Abel is unstoppable! Every album always hit different!

- DAYUM🤘🤘

Intense, graphic, sexy, euphoric Provocative, edgy, thought-provoking Technically and visually stunning A compelling work of sciencе fiction A suspenseful exposé Cinеma like you've never seen it before The exotic, bizarre and beautiful world of "After Life" And this is your invitation to enter.

- Few good and some no

Couple good songs but some feel like it could of used more thought

- Fine

It’s probably his worst album

- Great production

This album really grew on me. It has good vibes, great production and all comes together fantastically

- Umm ok?

Not really sure what was going on here. But this album is whack. The last couple albums were great, but this….not so great.

- Im here for Jim Carrey

His music is so boring & thought this album would be amazing but its NOT. I heard Jim Carrey did some stuff for his album & realized he was the “ radio guy” .

- Proud to be Canadian

The man can sing. He's huge all over the world. Toronto boy. This album was great. I love them all.

- I wanted to love it

I really love the Weeknd but this album is disappointing at best.

- Great classic pop with modern style

Great Album, classic pop well done

- He is garbage

He thinks he’s the best but his music is garbage trying to be stuck in the 80s

- Masterpiece

Beautiful, emotional and captivating. Everything that I could ever want. Love your softer romantic side. Abel ♥️💜😍🥰

- Certainly the GOAT so far

This is fire, such an experience. XOTWOD

- Best album ever

So amazing

- Awesome listen!

The songs grow on you each listen!

- The weekend

Un merveilleux album à découvrir.

- Rushed album = garbage

This is a prime example of a artist rushing their album to make money instead of quality music. Almost all of these songs sound the same and the lyrics are just dumb.

- amazing

this man can never disappoint me. well done abel ❤️

- Nobody does it better

The vocals, the lyrics, the production, the transitions, the guests, the concept. Everything is done right. 10/10 Make sure you tune in to 103.5 Dawn FM!

- Amazing LP

Really enjoyed this incredible album from start to finish.

- Woah!

He always does something new and this kills it❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

- Pedestrian

Tired

- Totally sick

I listened to this album first day on the first minute, I’ll be honest some of the songs are kinda weak but they do not go on for long and all the songs are so well integrated and produced I can’t even complain. I love the weeknd, I’ve been listening to him since my brother introduced me to him in 2011, the different sounds and this 70s-80s synthwave stuff he’s been doing is great. I love the sound, listen to this if your into albums that are even more than the music it’s self and rather a experience, they try to make it into a fm radio that is just one entire song leading you into heaven. I could go for hours on about this album, but I just recommend you listen to it and decide for yourself!

- I thought this was Mark Twain

But album you’ll like it

- YUP

the concept the music the execution !! i love it (plz make ‘every angel is terrifying’ a full song tho I BEG)

- WOW 🔥10\10 for the goat

🔥🙏🏼

- Yes🤩🤩🤩

Weeknd does not disappoint!! So honoured to get to even witness a true legend!!🔥

- Absolutely Epic

80s/disco music is reborn thanks to The Weeknd! The production is out of this world. It’s hard to not dance when listening to this album. Amazing album!

- Wow, just wow!!

He's back!

- Amazing

ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE 🎲🌅❌🅾️

- Brillant

Excellent album pack with great tracks. Take my breath away, Scarifice, I heard You’re Married and Less Than Zero is best of all them…Genius Artist… Dawn FM his best album so far…

- Spotless 🤩

A true masterpiece. Abel knows how to reinvent himself but remains toxic in his lyrics. The synths, layers of reverb, funky guitar and vocals are ON POINT. Another brilliant album.

- Brilliant as always

Perfect in every way

- King

Can not miss, the best artist to ever live.

- SH#T A** MUSIC

ABSOLUTE GARBAGE WANT TO FLUSH THIS DOWN THE TOILET

- Yes!!!

Just classics again…

- HIS BEST ALBUM

Honestly Impeccable….

- BLOWN AWAY!!

Abel just keeps getting better and better. My favorites are starry eyes which has Trilogy vibes and Best friends, it has such a good beat perfect for long car drives

- wow

his best album

- Deeply underwhelming

It feels like The Weeknd took a step back to his older vocal style whilst trying to replicate the success of his disco music from After Hours but it just sounds like one very long track with the same production. You can’t really even pick Take My Breath out from the rest of the mess because even that blends in even though I like that song (the only one) and please, unless you’re Billie Eilish or Adele, you do not know how to do narration on an album.

- Bland, forgettable and yet semi-nostalgic

After heavy hitters like Blinding Lights and Starboy in the past, this album was pretty meh. I like the 80’s vibe, but it focuses too much on chilled out music and lacks the energy of previous albums. I’d give this a miss and listen for free on YouTube

- XO on steroids

Every album is completely different from his last , but I really dig it , superb!

- Boring

Almost all the songs sound the same - generic 80s vibe. The subject matter is repetetive and uninteresting (where is the lyrical ingenuity of Kiss Land or House of Baloons!?). Unfortunately, it's another case of an artist selling their soul for commercial success.

- Work of art

A seamless flowing masterpiece of an album.

- It’s for life this time

⚫️⚫️⚫️

- RadioMan

Been a fan since trilogy/kissland but now… not so much. I’ll stick with his older songs before he started aiming this radio style songs, king of the fall has fallen.

- DOESNT DISAPPOINT

For me it was impossible for it to beat After Hours and Star boy, however it’s a really interesting way of structuring an album and I really enjoyed it all. Give it a full listen and wait till you can do it in one go it definitely gives the vibe off a lot better, well done Abel you’ve gone and done it again!! XO

- He’s done it again!

Wow!

- 80s throwback

The verdict is still out but this at the moment reminds me of a 80s movie soundtrack.

- Devotion.

Abel Tesfaye’ latest venture is an album centred around a radio-themed evening with the guest host vocal stylings of beloved comedian Jim Carrey whom features fairly prominently throughout this body of work. Jim is the host of this evening’ radio styled show casually and flawlessly acting as a guide and upbeat host. Post-intro with titular intro track “Dawn FM” and succulently voiced over with Jim Carrey and fades out with instrumentals before the The Weeknd leads us into “Gasoline” which explodes in the ears as a poppy-synth falsetto-ridden sweet trip. The next is the house-music inspired track "How Do I Make You Love Me" which just screams all the beauty of the work explored in previous albums that dwelled in the late 70s, 80s and early 90s experimental synth. Leading into this is the “Take My Breath” which has synth, drum and bass galore reminiscent of an early Daft Punk inspired song. The production just from the first four tracks demonstrates the ever-evolving skill level from Abel. The latter, and the next song “Sacrifice”, are dance-floor bangers with deep basslines and the hallmarks of 90s romanticism. It also incorporates the current bedroom-style like albums that have become so evident in lockdown years; albums made in quiet absolution and kept secret – like current artists Billie Eilish, Ben Khan and others, it feels grandiose and instantly personal. “A Tale By Quincy” is a spoken-word interlude that feels ever so dreamy. “Out of Time” is Abel’s signature Michael Jackson jam with all the sultry vocal cadence that mimics the master musician himself; an ode to a would-be unreleased track from Jackson’ repertoire. Abel is the closest in comparison to the control, range and talent to Jackson and this is a particular highlight to that influence and transitions with Carrey leading us into “Here We Go… Again.” This feature with Tyler, the Creator, is a slower early 2000s R&B track with slower spoken lyrics and brings album pace down a bit before leading out. “Best Friends” reinvigorates with a deep hard bassline as previous tracks that goes in a softer than the more experimental material aforementioned. “Is There Someone Else” draws us back to Abel’s more sensual and romantic beginnings, earnest and pure flowing in falsetto. Post interlude this is the pace change that feels organic to classic Weeknd music, where the day feels at its end and you play some modern jazz. “Starry Eyes” continues this reduced pace before slow boosting to an atmospheric bass and echoing vocals supported by synth – with all the feeling of a romantic film soundtrack that cleverly maintains its subtle pace without leading the listener on. “Every Angel...” is a transitional advertisement between songs, experimental and yet organic to the themes of the album. Feeling familiar like a radio station from GTA3 or 4 – where Abel clearly is also a fan of the series. “Don’t Break My Heart” is where Abel likes to try vocal cadences that don’t usually fit, he drastically changes his speaking and singing tone to a more authoritarian and then dives back into smoother changes – like “Gasoline.” The accent is accentuated – very much like the song; it’s punctuated with strong riffs and electronic beats. After we get a featured track with Lil Wayne on “I Heard You’re Married” where Wayne adds that deeper layer to the song that doesn’t feel too out of place. We’re then treated to a blissful track “Less That Zero” which closes out as the penultimate as a bright light to the reduced pace at the interlude mark. An 80s driven synth track that feels like ecstasy. Using that up tempo chord change on keyboards prominent in 80s tracks to give a rounded off evening some stupor. The final track “Phantom Regret…” closes out the album with Jim Carrey’ poetic musings while Abel adds his atmospheric vocals in the background interweaving between Carrey’ words. After a new but familiar start to the year which feels remnant and stagnant of 2021, and 2020; Abel has crafted probably the biggest album of the year at just seven days in. He offers some calm and wickedness for the beginning of this uncharted year that is very much in the vein of The Weeknd, pushing down ambiguity with his artistic certainty.

- Wow

Unbelievably good!

- AMAZING

Abel has done it again and smashed it out the park, the transitions and the intros with Jim make this album amazing 10/10

- A bit lame

Love the weekend but this new album is just a bit lame. No real stand out tracks.

- Excellent

Smashed it again

- Feel like Daft Punk are behind

Brillant album🔥🎉

- Belter!

Yet again another outstanding Album!!

- Brilliant Album

Loved every song

- Nothing like his previous work

Really disappointed , so much so I can’t believe this Was put out.

- Well This Deserves Album Of The Year

This album 100% deserves album of the year this album is honestly the best album this year without a doubt Abel is just ridiculous with every song there is not one that is not to like Dawn Fm is really good if this doesn’t get album of the year 😡I don’t know what will. Every song you could just sing along too. This album has topped the charts in 7 different countries 🤯. My favourites are 1. Less Than Zero 2. Out Of Time 3. Sacrifice I am going to go and see him on his tour. Can’t wait!!!

- A New Dawn Has Come 🌅

Refreshingly creative, unexpectedly cool and a total album purchased for the “RIDE..!” 💿 The Weeknd is such a HUGH TALENT. I really don’t like the art direction of the last two albums covers, but I’m not buying it for his image - the music is what we’re here for, for that The Weeknd scores a “SLAM DUNK!” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎧

- Weekend

The weekend need to be number 1

- It’s good

Deceeeent

- Boundaries well and truly pushed, incredible.

I had no idea which direction The Weeknd was going to go after the incredible ‘after hours’ but Dawn FM is absolutely unreal… 80’s vibe present throughout the whole record. The Weeknd has done it again and created a masterpiece. You should listen to the record from start to finish, no skips, no distractions… take it all in.

- ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC

what a cohesive album, love the theme of a radio station, embedded within, and the transitions between each song is perfect! It feels much more than an album, like a whole experience! A brilliant “sonic universe” from the weeknd! My favourite of his albums so far!

- One word: AMAZING!

Just when you thought the After Hours album was his best body of work, mature and polished, The Weeknd hits you hard again with Dawn FM. An incredible album full of rich textures, unforgettable hooks and melodies. Haunting, yet beautiful, powerful, yet fun. With a narration by comedy legend, Jim Carrey, the album works in so many ways. Every song is a killer. Look out for "Best Friends", "How Do I Make You Love Me", "Take My Breath" and "I Heard You're Married". Highly recommended! XO for Life.

- The Weeknd's THRILLER !

His best album yet !

- HIS BEST WORK

incredible album

- Incredible

An incredible concept, executed flawlessly. The man’s ambition, hard work and talent continues to make him this generations stand out talent. Always changing and evolving but maintaining the through lines of familiar themes throughout this work. The guys a genius, listen to the album from start to finish in one go to appreciate it fully.

- monotone

the songs sound the same

- 🔥

One of my favourite artists over the last few years! Love his music and him trying new styles! Has this album on loop since 🔥

- Brilliant

👌

- Brilliant

Can’t stop listening!

- The best around

Pure class

- Great production and so groovy!!

Amazing A++++

- Same

Does not grow as a artist

- dawn fm

very surprised about the way this album sounds although I love it and highly recommend it

- Great

All I can say is it deserves the hype it got and more

- OUTSTANDING

His best project. Incredible quality

- Bland and uninspiring

The last album was fantastic. But this??? Did he write and record it under the influence of sleeping pills? It’s not good

- XOTWOD

Abel keeps getting better!!

- Great chilling vibes.

Fantastic booster music . Soft chilling and passionate vocal. Well done.

- Great album!

It’s amazing! It’s nice to see him try something a little different, definitely another masterpiece! Abel never disappoints.

- WOW!

This is EPIC!!! His best album to date! ‘Less than Zero’ is awesome & ‘Take my Breath’ has a slight resemblance to the 80’s British group Wham’s ‘Young Guns’ (go for it) whilst in the instrumental part mid-way reflects Donna Summer’s ‘I feel Love!’ This track is possibly the stand out track in my opinion!… closely followed by the other 15 tracks on the album! ;-) #Class

- Dark yet elegant

Wow
