OPINION: It’s Time, The Weeknd! Drop That New Album Already!

Come on, dude, it’s time! Baby, I’m talking about The Weeknd, and it’s time for that new music already!

Our boy Abel has been teasing new music since January for his sixth studio album, and I’m absolutely here for it. As a die-hard XO fan, I’ve been refreshing his social media feeds like it’s my job (well, I guess it kind of is).

Let’s break it down: The Weeknd’s been dropping breadcrumbs all over the place, hinting at what could be the epic conclusion to a trilogy that started with “After Hours” and continued with “Dawn FM.” I mean, those albums were fire, and the anticipation for this next one is killing me!

A post shared by Abel (@theweeknd)

Just the other day, he posted this cryptic photo on Instagram – his eyes all glassy, looking like he’s seen the future of music or something, with a tantalizing question mark when you swipe. I swear, I’ve never swiped faster in my life!

This social media teasing game is next level. It’s like he knows exactly how to keep us on the edge of our seats, craving more. Every post, every tweet feels like it could be THE announcement. Is it dropping tonight? Tomorrow? Next week? The suspense is both thrilling and torturous.

But here’s the thing – we’re ready, Abel! We’ve been ready! Your music has been the soundtrack to our lives, our breakups, our late-night drives, and our existential crises. We need that new heat to get us through whatever 2024 throws our way.

So, Mr. Tesfaye, if you’re reading this (and let’s be real, you totally are), it’s time to bless our ears. Drop that album, release those beats into the wild, and let us feast on your musical genius once again.

To all my fellow XO fans out there – stay strong, keep those notifications on, and get ready. Because when The Weeknd finally decides to grace us with this new album, it’s going to be nothing short of spectacular.

In the meantime, I’ll be over here, analyzing every pixel of his social media posts for clues. This is Cat Haley for Yummy Hits, eagerly awaiting The Weeknd’s next move.
