“Billed as the successor to 2019’s acclaimed After Hours, Abel Tesfaye’s fifth studio LP transcends dynamic pop grandeur and flaunts accountability in the face of death”
“Midway through Abel Tesfaye’s fifth album as the Weeknd, the former blog-friendly miserabilist turned Super Bowl-starring megastar muses: “Catalogue lookin’ legendary”. It’s hard to disagree. His last album, 2020’s After Hours, spawned the record-breaking Blinding Lights, a glorious slice of electro-pop that joined Can’t Feel My Face and Starboy in the modern pop canon. While Dawn FM doesn’t feat”
“While a bit front-loaded, Dawn FM boasts a lot of fantastic songwriting and worldbuilding from Abel and company.”
“Conceptualized around listening to a retro-pop radio station in purgatory, Abel Tesfaye’s fifth album is the most thoughtful, melodic, and revealing project of his career.”
““You are now listening to 103.5 Dawn FM” calls the voice of Jim Carrey from the void, welcoming us to purgatory in the form of an adult contemporary radio station. “You’ve been in the dark for way too long; it’s time to walk into the light,” he says, playing the part of host and creepy archangel on The Weeknd’s most conceptually-driven work yet. In many ways, Dawn FM is your textbook Weeknd album”
“soulful star meets a new day with hope and hindsight”
“An almost flawless album from The Weeknd. The second instalment of the new trilogy with ‘After Hours’ & ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’. This is close behind ‘After Hours’ for me. The whole theme of the album being this radio station in the after life all narrated and hosted by Jim Carrey, comes off so well and fully immerses you in the world that Abel has built. Production & Vocals are incredible again with a full 80s style production and straying away from the modern twist like ‘After Hours’ had. Top songs are ‘Out Of Time’ ‘Sacrifice’ ‘Take My Breath’ ‘How Do I Make You Love Me?’ ‘Don’t Break My Heart’ ‘Is There Someone Else?’”
“- dieses epische drive outro bei take my breath - das cover ist sooo hässlich - tyler hätte ma lieber wie auf earfquake singen als so halbherzig spitten sollen - auch lil wayne junge was machst du da - seine normale stimme voll komisch iwie”
“Most favorite album from his discography”
