On January 7, 2022, The Weeknd released a somewhat surprising album titled “Dawn FM”. Surprising because it was only first announced and teased about two weeks earlier, so its release was rather sudden. Despite the impromptu release, “Dawn FM” did not disappoint. The album’s theme was evident: it was meant to be in the form of a radio station (Dawn FM), and the tracks were meant to be the lineup for the station. The narration by Jim Carrey on some of the songs was very refreshing to hear, and I think the use of narration on albums is an incredibly underutilized tool that makes albums, including this one, much more enjoyable. His voice is very relaxing and speaks like a radio host, guiding you through the listening experience. Now, as for the songs themselves, there is heavy use of 70s/80s style synths that add to a “euphoric” and “nostalgic” tone of the album. While it does bear resemblance sonically to The Weeknd’s 2020 project “After Hours”, it still manages to be its own project....
