The Weeknd described the album's concept as a state of purgatory—a journey towards the "light at the end of a tunnel", serving as a follow-up to his fourth studio album After Hours (2020). Musically, Dawn FM is an upbeat record containing dance-pop and synth-pop songs that are heavily inspired by the 1980s new wave, funk and electronic dance music styles. The album received widespread acclaim from music critics, who complimented its production and melodies.

Four singles—"Take My Breath", "Sacrifice", "Out of Time" and "Less than Zero"—supported the album, with "Take My Breath" peaking at number six on the US Billboard Hot 100. Dawn FM reached number one in over 10 countries, including the singer-songwriter's native Canada, Australia, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom; meanwhile, it debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 chart. To further support both After Hours and Dawn FM, the Weeknd embarked on the After Hours til Dawn Tour.

Background and release

On March 20, 2020, the Weeknd released his fourth studio album After Hours during the beginning of COVID-19 restrictions.[1] It was a commercial success and received mostly positive reviews from music critics, some of whom named it his best work yet.[2][3] Shortly after, the Weeknd began working on his next studio album; in an interview with Rolling Stone in September 2020, he stated that he "might have another album ready to go by the time this quarantine is over."[4] The Weeknd later explained that he was originally working on an album inspired by the depressive state he was in during the COVID-19 pandemic, but scrapped the project because it was "emotionally detrimental" and began working on Dawn FM.[5]

The Weeknd began to tease a new album in May 2021 in an interview with Variety, when he stated "if the last record is the After Hours of the night, then The Dawn is coming".[6] He continued to tease the album with the tentative title, The Dawn, during his acceptance speeches at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards and the 2021 iHeartRadio Music Awards.[7] On August 2, the Weeknd released a teaser on his social media accounts titled "The Dawn Is Coming", which contained a snippet of a then-unreleased song. Later that day, in a partnership with NBC Sports and the 2020 Summer Olympics, he announced the album's lead single "Take My Breath", which was released on August 6.[8] On October 4, 2021, during an episode of his Apple Music 1 radio show, Memento Mori, the Weeknd announced that the album was complete, and that he was waiting on a "couple characters that are key to the narrative." He then described the characters as "some people that are near and dear to me, some people that inspired my life as a child and some that inspire me now."[9][10]

On January 1, 2022, the Weeknd teased a possible surprise release of the album in an Instagram post, which featured a screenshot of a text conversation he had with his best friend and creative director La Mar Taylor. After exchanging New Year's greetings, the Weeknd messaged that "Everything feels chaotic again. Music can heal and that feels more important than another album rollout. Let's just drop the whole thing and enjoy it with the people... XO."[11] The next day, the Weeknd hinted at the album's arrival, tweeting "wake up at dawn tomorrow".[12] On January 3, he announced the album's official title through a trailer video and announced that it would be released on January 7, 2022.[13] He subsequently revealed the track listing through a second trailer on January 5.[14] On January 11, the Weeknd announced an expanded edition of the album subtitled Alternate World including two remixes and previously released single "Moth to a Flame" with Swedish House Mafia.[15]

Composition

Who knows what the next one is going to sound like? When it comes to my albums, there is a cohesive sound going on, but I can't really stick to one style. So you'll hear EDM, hip-hop and three other types of sounds in one song – and somehow, we make it work.

— The Weeknd to Billboard in 2021[16]

Primarily a pop record,[17] Dawn FM is rooted in dance-pop[17] and synth-pop genres.[18] Recalling 1980s electronic bands such as Depeche Mode and Duran Duran,[19][20][21] the album significantly incorporates new wave,[22] funk,[23] and EDM,[16] alongside elements of disco,[24] electropop,[22] hip hop,[22][16] city pop,[20] soft rock,[25] psychedelia,[26] R&B,[22] blues,[27] boogie, electro,[17] dubstep, drum and bass,[28] and techno.[18]

During an episode of Memento Mori, the Weeknd cited Britney Spears, Nas, Swedish House Mafia, Kid Cudi, Kanye West and Tyler, the Creator as the artists who have inspired the album.[29] Influences of Michael Jackson's Off the Wall (1979) and Thriller (1982) are also present in Dawn FM.[27]

Concept and themes

Dawn FM was noted for incorporating a "psychedelic radio" aesthetic with existential themes,[30] similar to American experimental record producer Oneohtrix Point Never's album Magic Oneohtrix Point Never (2020), which the Weeknd appeared on and executive produced under his formal name.[31] The "103.5" station tag that the album frequently uses is a nod to the Toronto radio station Z103.5, known for their dance-heavy playlists.[32] In an interview with Billboard on November 23, 2021, the Weeknd elaborated on these themes, saying:

Picture the album being like the listener is dead. And they're stuck in this purgatory state, which I always imagined would be like being stuck in traffic waiting to reach the light at the end of the tunnel. And while you're stuck in traffic, they got a radio station playing in the car, with a radio host guiding you to the light and helping you transition to the other side. So it could feel celebratory, could feel bleak, however you want to make it feel, but that's what The Dawn is for me.[16]

Further speculation on the album's concept arose following the Weeknd's announcement that Dawn FM was the second part of a trilogy of albums.[33]

Artwork

The standard and Alternate World editions' album cover of Dawn FM was shot by Matilda Finn.[34] It features a "dramatically aged version" of the Weeknd as an elderly bearded man in a dark background setting with a small ray of light shining behind the back of his shoulder.[35] The collector's and limited editions of the album, as well as the limited edition boxset CDs of the album, listed on the Weeknd's online store, feature five alternate Dawn FM covers designed by American artist Robert Beatty.[36]
