The Weeknd has revisited the essence of his earlier ‘House Of Balloons’ works with his surprise new EP, ‘My Dear Melancholy’.
Released following a cryptic social media buildup over the past couple of days, the 6-track project, which comes in at just shy of 22 minutes, delivers multiple subjects that have been present in Abel’s public life – notably the ups and downs of lost love and relationship tribulations.
Production wise, ‘My Dear Melancholy’ sees The Weeknd reunite with Daft Punk’s Guy Manuel de Homem-Christo, whilst Skrillex and frequent-collaborator DaHeala also make appearances. It’s no doubt Abel will use his headline slot at next month’s Coachella to also drop the new songs in his live show.
