With “The Dawn FM Experience” The Weeknd gets its own music special on Amazon Prime. His album is visualized.
The Weeknd (32) presents his music special “The Dawn FM Experience” on Amazon Prime next weekend. The Canadian singer’s fifth album, “Dawn FM”, is “visualized in a fascinating way and implemented as a theatrical performance event that immerses the audience in a nerve-wracking and gloomy world,” it says according to US industry magazine “Variety” in an announcement.
“I’m thrilled to be collaborating with Amazon to bring you the most lavish live TV special I’ve ever done,” the singer said in a statement. “Live performance, theater and performance art will collide for one night at the club,” he added.
Songs from the special available to stream
The special, which The Weeknd co-developed with artist La Mar C. Taylor (31) and film director Micah Bickham, is set to premiere on Saturday, February 26. In a first teaser the musician can be seen in an older version of himself, which he has already appeared on the album cover and in a music video. A live EP featuring eight songs from the special will also be available for fans to stream on Amazon Music.
