In a slew of mysterious social media announcements, a one-minute teaser video names rapper Tyler, The Creator, actor Jim Carrey and industry legend Quincy Jones as a few of the upcoming album’s featured artists. 

In a more intimate post, the 31-year-old musician lets fans know that he is doing away with the standard album rollout, opting to drop the entire collection of songs at once online. Posting a screenshot of a conversation with La Mar Taylor, co-founder of XO Records, The Weeknd writes, “Everything feels chaotic again. Music can heal, and that feels more important than another album rollout. Let’s just drop the whole thing and enjoy it with the people … XO.”

Dawn FM is scheduled for release on Friday, January 7. Take a look at the cover art for The Weeknd’s fifth studio album below.
