Dawn FM is the fifth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter The Weeknd, released on the 7th of January, 2022, by XO and Republic Records.
It features narration by Jim Carrey, guest vocals from Tyler, the Creator and Lil Wayne, and spoken word appearances from Quincy Jones and Josh Safdie.
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. Upon release, the album received widespread acclaim from music critics, who complimented its production and melodies.
