The Weeknd has recruited a comedy legend for his upcoming album.
Although we're less than a week into 2022, it's safe to say that The Weeknd's hotly anticipated fifth album, Dawn FM, is one of the biggest releases of the year. In case there wasn't enough reason to be excited for the next chapter from the contemporary music superstar, a new trailer has revealed that Jim Carrey is featured on the album.
The minute-long trailer opens with haunting synths before Carrey cuts in with soft-spoken but ominous narration: "You are now listening to 103.5 Dawn FM. You've been in the dark for way too long. It's time to walk into the light and accept your fate with open arms."
What follows is an eight-second preview of a new song that offers a glimpse into Dawn FM, which The Weeknd said will incorporate EDM in late 2021. That should come as no surprise due to his proclivity to work with the genre's most renowned producers, like Daft Punk, Gesaffelstein, Disclosure, Calvin Harris, Kavinsky, and most recently Swedish House Mafia.
