The Weeknd Is Back in the Studio

Canadian singer Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye has got fans buzzing that new music is on the way.

The singer took to his Instagram Stories to share a slew of photos from what appears to be a music studio, including a photo in which he’s standing behind the microphone. 

This comes a month after he posted the album covers from his 2020 album "After Hours" and 2022’s "Dawn FM", and a third, black slide with a white question mark in the middle and a parental advisory warning label.

“3,” he wrote as the caption, indicating that a third installment of the album trilogy is on the way.

In a May 2023 interview with W Magazine, He previously said that his next studio album will be his final one as The Weeknd. 

“It’s getting to a place and a time where I’m getting ready to close the Weeknd chapter. I’ll still make music, maybe as Abel, maybe as The Weeknd. But I still want to kill The Weeknd. And I will. Eventually. I’m definitely trying to shed that skin and be reborn,” he said. “The album I’m working on now is probably my last hurrah as The Weeknd. This is something that I have to do. As The Weeknd, I’ve said everything I can say.”
