Review

Let me tell you, diving into The Weeknd's "Dawn FM" was quite the experience! Picture yourself tuning into a mysterious radio station—103.5 Dawn FM. It’s not your ordinary top-of-the-hour spin because it’s guiding you through a fantastical purgatory! The ongoing storyline, which follows from his previous album "After Hours," explores a journey through existential themes with a curious mix of anxiety and hope. What a fascinating approach to tell such a story, right?

The sound of "Dawn FM" is gloriously rooted in fantastic 1980s vibes, boasting vibrant new wave, funk, and electronic influences that get you moving. Envision synth-pop and dance-pop numbers that echo masters like Depeche Mode and the legendary Michael Jackson. From funky beats reminiscent of "Off the Wall" to the cool electronic polish à la "Thriller," The Weeknd fashions a groove that's as infectious as it is immersive.

Now, let’s talk about the little community of legends that make appearances on this record! With production powerhouses like Max Martin and unique contributions from greats like Oscar Holter and Calvin Harris, the sound is nothing short of lush. Sprinkle in guest vocals from Tyler, the Creator and Lil Wayne, along with Jim Carrey’s better-than-ever narration, and you’ve got a theatrical masterpiece on your hands. The seamless fusion of sounds and stories in "Dawn FM" keeps you enchanted from track to track. Plus, having icons like Quincy Jones in the mix is just magic! - Sienna
