The Weeknd's "My Dear Melancholy," dropped in 2018 and takes us back to his moody, shadowy roots! Reminiscent of "Trilogy" and "Kiss Land," this EP offers up a deliciously dark mix of alternative R&B, R&B, and electropop. With production heavyweights like Skrillex and Daft Punk’s Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo adding their magic, you'll feel every beat and bassline hitting right in the feels.
This is heartbreak therapy on vinyl, with raw and honest explorations of his past loves Bella Hadid and Selena Gomez. Tunes like "Call Out My Name" and "Wasted Times" are packed with emotional punch, showcasing The Weeknd's introspective and cathartic storytelling. Snagging the number one spot on the US Billboard 200, "My Dear Melancholy," proves yet again why The Weeknd is a powerhouse in the music world. -

Since his official debut with *Kiss Land* in 2013, he’s delivered major albums like *Beauty Behind the Madness*, *Starboy*, and *After Hours*, earning multi-platinum sales, multiple Grammy Awards, and a string of global hits like "Blinding Lights."
