Premiering exclusively on Prime Video, The Weeknd will pair his new album Dawn FM with an “immersive music special”
Transforming the superstar”s 2022 LP into “a mesmerizing visual that will create a theatrical performance event that will envelope audiences in its unnerving and moody world,” The Weeknd x The Dawn FM Experience will arrives on Amazon’s streaming service on February 26.
In a statement about the release, the Canadian superstar singer/songwriter (born Abel Tesfaye) said “Welcome to the next phase of Dawn FM—a purgatory otherworld where live performance, theater, and performance art collide for a night out at the club,” “I’m ecstatic to partner with Amazon to premiere the most elaborate live TV special I’ve ever done.”
Notwithstanding The Weeknd morphing into the old man character he’s played in music videos tied to Dawn FM and the album cover, the teaser for the special offers very few clues about the overall content.
In addition to the Prime Video exclusive, Amazon Music will stream an accompanying eight-track live EP culled from the special, as well as release a limited edition capsule collection via the Weeknd’s Amazon page.
