Fresh off the release of his fifth studio album Dawn FM, The Weeknd appears to already be teasing new material. The Toronto artist took to Twitter on Monday to say we are in fact in the midst of a “new trilogy.” “i wonder… did you know you’re experiencing a new trilogy?” he wrote.  Trilogy, of course, is the title […]

The awards keep coming for The Weeknd. XO’s finest attended the 2021 Music in Action Awards in Los Angeles on Friday, where he was honored with the Quincy Jones Humanitarian Award. The honor pointed to the singer as someone who used his platform to “call attention to racial and social injustice and raise awareness globally.” But when he stepped on […]

Just as his Certified Lover Boy numbers are looking monumental, Drake knows that he, too, is looking pretty good. Even if he’s not looking at himself.  On Monday, likely in between celebrating having the No. 1 album in the country for yet another week and investing in some hot chicken, Drake took to his Instagram Stories […]

The Weeknd has launched a new era. Late Sunday night, the Super Bowl LV halftime show headliner alerted fans and weekend news writers alike that something was imminent. “Fuck it … IT STARTS TONIGHT,” he said on Twitter, followed roughly an hour later by the release of a teaser video titled, fittingly, “The Dawn Is Coming.” […]

Exactly 10 years after releasing his debut mixtape House of Balloons, The Weeknd is reissuing the project in its “original incarnation.” The XO artist announced the release on social media this week, confirming the reissue would include original mixes and samples that didn’t make the final cut.  The original House of Balloons sampled music from Aaliyah, Beach House, Siouxsie and the […]

The Weeknd hit another major career milestone when he performed at Super Bowl LV’s halftime show. And now, TMZ reports that the “Blindin Lights” singer got a new piece of jewelry to commemorate the moment. Per the report, Cash— the co-founder of Abel Tesfaye’s record label XO—commissioned a custom Super Bowl ring for the occasion. While it […]

Getting hyped up for the Super Bowl during the middle of a worldwide pandemic is something of a mixed bag. Watching the big game with your buddies is a lot less fun over Zoom, but it also means less competition for the good nachos, so win some, lose some, I guess. There is, however, one […]

Refreshingly, the Weeknd has made it clear in a number of After Hours era interviews that he’s been taking COVID-19 quite seriously. Abel, of course, is one of a number of artists whose 2020 agenda was—for lack of a more apt description—wholly fucked up by the seriousness of the pandemic here in the U.S. While […]

The past 24 hours have been pretty eventful for The Weeknd fans. Just hours after sharing his posthumous collaboration with Juice WLRD, the XO singer-songwriter came through with The Weeknd Experience, an interactive virtual concert presented by TikTok.  The event went live on Friday with 3D renderings, picture-in-picture video, and The Weeknd in avatar form as he took the audience “on an epic After […]
