Dawn FM Review
This is probably the most we’ve seen The Weeknd this vulnerable in an album. We saw a little bit of it in After Hours, but in this album, we take a deep dive into what’s going on in The Weeknd’s head. This is the aftermath of After Hours, the transition into the afterlife.
The first half of the album just explains how The Weeknd wasn’t the one hurting people, it was the women in his life. He kind of tries to coop with this by saying “I don't wanna sacrifice for your love, I try. I don't wanna sacrifice but I love my time.” He tried being the best for this person and is not willing to risk his dreams and freedom for someone that’s not willing to put in the same work in the relationship.
After “A Tale by Quincy,” we start to see a shift, sort of a realization. The Weeknd starts to self-reflect and wants to fix the broken relationship with someone that has interests in someone else. At the end, we hear the radio DJ, Jim Carrey, explain to The Weeknd that the reason he’s stuck in this purgatory is because he’s refusing to let go of the trauma and broken relationship. The DJ then explains that till The Weeknd let’s go of the past, he’s stuck in this stage of pain and guilt for the rest of his life.
