The Weeknd is picking back up where he left off with new content and a surprise concert on the way. The Toronto pop star just announced a show in Brazil that promises a “never-before-seen production.” We know The Weeknd is different, so making a point to say this must be more than just hype.
Get this, to add to his announcement, he dropped a video teaser or sorts giving insight into his upcoming project. So Variety reports that this will be the third and final chapter in his “After Hours” / “Dawn FM” trilogy. Okay, we see you!
Last year, the hint was made to media outlets that this, if it is in fact the final installment, might include a visual component, maybe even a film. The visual ends with a cryptic message:
“There are three chapters in this tale.”
This upcoming project has come with the caveat of pushing the boundaries of The Weeknd’s creative vision where he blends music, visual art, and immersive storytelling in ways many artists today just don’t place the same amount of time and effort these days.
Check out his teaser on The Weeknd’s IG and tell us what you think.
