The Weeknd is a pop star in search of clarity on 'Dawn FM.' Read our review of his excellent new album.
We love our artists fucked up, frankly. There’s something in the deep recesses of self-induced suffering that seems to bring out the best in them. But it’s all fun and games until they wind up a walking self-help aisle. The 16 songs ondon’t grapple with the idea of addiction in the way we’ve come to expect from him , and infidelities amount to wistful moments of vulnerability as opposed to tortured diatribes.
On “Gasoline,” the Toronto troubadour chants, “I know you won’t let me OD,” in a tone that makes his partner sound like an enlightened seer prepared to guide him on some rustic spiritual retreat. And on “Out of Time,” there’s a touch of solace as he confesses, over shimmering, lush orchestration that recalls-era Michael Jackson, “Say I love you girl, but I’m out of time/Now I can’t keep you from loving him, you made up your mind.” Jackson’s spirit is all over this project.
