Dawn FM, the follow up to Tesfaye’s 2020 album After Hours, has been described as “deep and elegant” by actor Jim Carrey.

I listened to Dawn FM with my good friend Abel @theweeknd last night. It was deep and elegant and it danced me around the room. I’m thrilled to play a part in his symphony. ;^• https://t.co/FV2LoKLYVX
