New music from The Weeknd may be arriving later this week
nme.comThe Weeknd has shared a new teaser online, suggesting that new music could be arriving later this week.The singer – real name Abel Tesfaye – has been teasing fans with the hopes of new music over recent months, suggesting that the upcoming third chapter to his ongoing ‘After Hours’ and ‘Dawn FM’ trilogy may be closer than we think.Now, he has set speculation alight once again – sharing a gif from his ‘Blinding Lights’ music video with the cryptic caption: “Saturday we ride at dawn”.It is worth noting that this Saturday (September 7) will see him play a one-off gig at the Estádio MorumBIS venue in São Paulo, so the post could simply be a nod to that.That being said, last month the artist did promote the gig once again, as well as confirming that he will be livestreaming it for international fans and sharing a snippet of a new song.SATURDAY WE RIDE AT DAWN pic.twitter.com/jpPwKpTJGT— Abel Tesfaye (@theweeknd) September 2, 2024The Instagram teaser marked just one of a handful The Weeknd has shared in relation to an upcoming third chapter to his trilogy.
In July he shared a snippet of what appeared to be a new song on social media, accompanied by a cinematic teaser and a mysterious caption quoting German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche: “When you gaze long enough into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you…”Then, on August 6, he shared another taste of new music, with a dark teaser video that includes two new songs.
In line with the horror theme, the second track seems to hint at an ominous force, as he sings “You can change locations, you can change your name / They will always find a way”.The final addition to the trilogy will mark the first album from The Weeknd since 2022’s ‘Dawn FM’.
