The Weeknd confirms imminent release of new project ‘My Dear Melancholy’

0

The Weeknd has confirmed recent rumours that he will drop a brand new project tonight.

Set for release on 30th March, ‘My Dear Melancholy’ has been cited by many online resources as a full album, though that still remains to be confirmed – there’s also chances it could be a playlist, or even a mixtape (or EP).

Though any further details are still to be revealed, Abel has released the collection’s official artwork, and on first inspection, seems it could be a throwback to his early ‘House Of Balloons’ mixtape which catapulted him onto the scene with its atmospheric alt-gloomy sonics.

Check the full album art below:
