The Weeknd Teases New ‘Chapter VI’ Album

The Weeknd is currently working on his new album. The tentatively titled Chapter VI will mark his first full-length studio album since his hit 2016 release Starboy, which he followed earlier this year with the My Dear Melancholy, EP.

“I want you guys to be the first to know that I’m working on my new album right now,” he told the audience at a recent show. “Chapter VI coming soon. Let’s get it.”

Weeknd also elaborated a bit further in a quick tweet, teasing that this particular chapter will be one of length:

The show in question was part of the launch of Hxouse, a Toronto-based incubator for creatives from Weeknd and XO creative director La Mar Taylor. “This was always in the making based off my experiences with all of the things that Abel and myself had to overcome, whether it was finding a recording studio, finding other creatives to collaborate with and finding places to facilitate those ideas,” Taylor told Forbes of Hxouse back in July.
