    on gasoline he wasn’t using an accent, just singing in a lower register. very 80s synth pop style. i’ve been waiting for him to use his voice differently. i absolutely love it

    Abel said this about the album “picture the album being like the listener is dead. And they’re stuck in this purgatory state, which I always imagined would be like being stuck in traffic waiting to reach the light at the end of the tunnel. And while you’re stuck in traffic, they got a radio station playing in the car, with a radio host guiding you to the light and helping you to transition to the other side. So it could feel celebratory, could feel bleak, however you want to make it feel, but that’s what “The Dawn” is for me.”

    I dug your analysis on this. This doesn’t sound as cynical and chaotic as After Hours thematically but it definitely retains a similar aesthetic in The Weekends sense of melancholy and flair. The Tyler feature made Tyler feel at home sonically speaking and Wayne has yet another solid feature under his best. I liked the poignancy in the Quincy Jones peace and Jim Carrey was a curious but a hypnotic presence. I think this amongst Abel’s best work and one of my favourites of the year this far

    If you listen to the album beginning to end and let Apple Music spin it back to the beginning again…it blew me away. This record is cyclical. As if Abel is in a cycle of trying to redo his life until his is finally permitted to rest. The audio cues really make me feel this way…the chirping sounds dying down at the end and then them coming on in the beginning….wow. Idk I’m probably not articulating this well but…I was blown away by it.

    Abel has always had a story with all his albums and I think these two albums are connected in a way. After hours was like him dealing with his addiction to drugs, sex, addiction and how he had to live with this version of himself. All his past relationships were coming back to haunt him and he was becoming this person like the red suit was pretty symbolic that he never took it off. And then with dawn it’s like he’s gotten older. He’s seen all his past mistakes and how they have affected him in the future. He’s seen the light at the end of the tunnel, aka the dawn.

    To those who don't initially like it, this album is gonna be like WLR when it first dropped vs now. I find people tend to be distraught when an artist tries something new but after getting used to it then it becomes amazing. If an artist spit out identical copies of their older music then they would go stale because it's always the same. Change can be uncomfortable but once accepted you look back and wonder why you ever were apprehensive about it

    My belief about the cover is that he is showing himself in a state of near death - as if to say that the next album is to be him re-incarnated as a changed young man. Hence the name of the album, "dawn", following the night, "after hours". I think the next album will be more upbeat and vibrant in aesthetics - so he made this album to be what is essentially the middle-point of a transition from night, to day - aka, dark, to light. That's why this album wasn't completely fun or fast, as it tried to capture the feeling of morning, and just waking up. Dawn FM is the album that we had to have in order for the next one to happen.

With time hopefully people will enjoy this more and more as it forms its own identify in Abel’s discog.

Could’ve used more RnB to space it all out. Cos it got kind of boring after a while.

It’s not like the listener doesn’t know he’s coming, he’s literally listed on the album, he isn’t a hidden feature. So I don’t see how he’s out of place. For me he seems to be another voice displaying their same displeasure for a lover that has moved on to another man. Like 2 men with the same fucked up story coming together to share their thoughts with each other.

    As a huge fan of The Weekend, First time I heard the album was insane. I found some strange things was going on but I like how weird it was. This Album needs more than 3 or 4 times of listening just to have the pure experience and enjoy the details of it. deserved 8/10 for me 🔥

    Great reaction video! "Less than zero" is my favorite on the album and sounds like a sequel to "Save your tears." I hope he makes an album with songs that sound like those two.

    The “accent” on gasoline actually isn’t a accent but more so a tribute to 80s pop groups like fears of tears, Depeche Mode, etc. If you aren’t familiar with 80s pop (not 80s Motown) that song won’t hit like it should but if you are than most likely that will be a top favorite on the album

      real shit, while there was a massive influx of amazing synthpop revivalists that are lesser known that I'm already satisfied with (magdalena bay, mr kitty, george clanton, post-tnp kkb) i feel that a lot of artists in the mainstream only know about that sound through shit like stranger things and some synthwave acts. you could really tell that Abel fucks with OMiTD and Depeche Mode as he typically does with MJ and Daft Punk in this album.
