Dawn FM

About

<i>“You are now listening to 103.5 Dawn FM. You’ve been in the dark for way too long. It’s time to walk into the light and accept your fate with open arm. Scared? Don’t worry. We’ll be there to hold your hand and guide you through this painless transition. But what’s the rush? Just relax and enjoy another hour of commercial ‘free yourself’ music on 103.5 Dawn FM. Tune in.”</i> The Weeknd's previous album <i>After Hours</i> was released right as the world was falling into the throes of the pandemic; after scrapping material that he felt was wallowing in the depression he was feeling at the time, <i>Dawn FM</i> arrives as a by-product of—and answer to—that turmoil. Here, he replaces woeful introspection with a bit of upbeat fantasy—the result of creatively searching for a way out of the claustrophobic reality of the previous two year. With the experience of hosting and curating music for his very own MEMENTO MORI radio show on Apple Music as his guiding light, <i>Dawn FM</i> is crafted in a similar fashion, complete with a DJ to set the tone for the segments within. “It’s time to walk into the light and accept your fate with open arm,” the host, voiced by Jim Carrey, declares on the opening track. “Scared? Don't worry.” .
