Not only has the project been delayed but the Rose Bowl concert has been canceled, “OUT OF RESPECT AND CONCERN FOR THE PEOPLE OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY, I AM CANCELING THE ROSE BOWL CONCERT ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR
JANUARY 25TH. THIS CITY HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PROFOUND SOURCE OF INSPIRATION FOR ME, AND MY THOUGHTS ARE WITH EVERYONE IMPACTED DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME IN LIGHT OF THIS, I HAVE ALSO DECIDED TO PUSH THE RELEASE OF MY ALBUM TO JANUARY 31ST MY FOCUS REMAINS ON SUPPORTING THE RECOVERY OF THESE COMMUNITIES AND AIDING ITS INCREDIBLE PEOPLE AS THEY REBUILD.”
The Weeknd is finally dropping his first album in two years, following the success of Dawn FM (2022). That album featured major hits like “Take My Breath,” a synth-driven banger that had fans dancing, and “I Heard You’re Married,” which included a vintage Lil Wayne verse that had everyone talking. “Best Friends” also stood out, with its smooth vibe and catchy lyrics. Fans have been eagerly awaiting his next move, and with his new project, it’s clear The Weeknd is ready to keep his streak of hits going strong. This album promises to be another standout in his career.
