The Weeknd teased new songs Sunday night, at the same time announcing a brand-new era in his songs. At the 2021 Signboard Music Awards, The Weeknd(born Abel Tesfaye) told followers “The dawn is coming.” Apparently the dawn is now, as Tesfaye tweeted “fuck it … IT STARTS THIS EVENING” as well as dropped a virtually two-minute intro video clip half an hour later on. The video clip illustrates a CGI horizon at sunrise. Little pixelated snows (or celebrities, or lil drug nugs) hurry past the camera as it chases the dawn. The songs is synthy as well as bumping. The Weeknd explained it as “pbj for your ears.”

As NME states, The Weeknd revealed joy that the new stage would consist of a face-lift, stating he ‘d “like to thank God that I do not need to put on that red fit anymore.” Tesfaye tweeted that he would certainly made this brand-new music during quarantine, and that all that was entrusted to do was “assembling it together.”
