Is The Weeknd finally dropping ‘The Dawn’?

Looking at his latest social media post, it does seem The Weeknd might finally drop the album. According to his caption, the 31-year-old star has hinted that the album might see the light of the day on Monday, January 3. However, it is a very unusual day to release an album as the new music usually hits the leading streaming platforms on Friday. The Weeknd’s new album hint comes a day after he shared a screenshot of a conversation he had with La Mar Taylor, the co-founder of XO Records. In the cryptic Instagram post, the singer discussed his new studio effort revealing his plans that he might drop the entire album at once instead of a traditional album rollout so that he can "enjoy it with the people."
