They say good things come in threes, and The Weeknd is putting the finishing touches on his After hours/Dawn FM trilogy.
Abel released the cinematic trailer previewing the heady track on Tuesday (July 23), which is another sign that chapter three is on the way from the Canadian crooner.
“When you stare long enough into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you,” he wrote in the caption, quoting German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.
The dreamlike trailer features a child who wants to overcome a dark world where outside forces are trying to capture him. He makes a grand escape for the heavens, while The Weeknd's ominous vocals provide the soundtrack.
“I'm falling at the speed of light/ I'm looking at your shrinking face, don't cry,” Abel croons on the track that appears to be titled “The Abyss.”
It has been over two years since then Dawn FM and fans are fighting over Abel's next musical era. “Sounds crazy” a fan wrote while another added: “THE KING IS BACK!!!”
There are even fans who believe this season could top 2012 Trilogy collection album. “Off rip 10 times better than the first Trilogy and it's not over yet.” these declared at X. “Forget world building, this is something built beyond our understanding!”
2024 is shaping up to be another busy campaign for The Weeknd, who will return to South America for a one-night-only show in Sao Paulo, Brazil on September 7 at Estádio MorumBIS. The Live Nation concert will feature “never-before-seen production,” according to a press release.
He previously appeared in Sao Paulo for two dates as part of his After Hours Til Dawn tour in October 2023. Abel's trek ranked eighth on Billboard Boxscore's top tours of 2023 with a gross of $192.5 million.
Dawn FM arrived in January 2022 and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 148,000 total album-equivalent units in its first week.
