The Weeknd has shared the album artwork for new project Dawn FM. The album is the follow-up to 2020’s After Hours and is out this Friday, January 7. The artwork, seen below, features a drastically aged Abel Tesfaye, complete with gray hair and beard.

Tesfaye has previous form when it comes to altering his image, spending much of the After Hours era in prosthetics or sporting fake facial injuries.

Since releasing After Hours The Weeknd has performed at the Super Bowl, boycotted the Grammys, and shared a lot of new music, including “Take My Breath” plus collaborations with Post Malone (“One Right Now”), Rosalía (“LA FAMA”), Swedish House Mafia (“Moth To A Flame”), and Aaliyah (“Poison”).

Dawn FM will feature an eclectic line-up of guests with Tyler, The Creator, Quincy Jones, Lil Wayne, Oneohtrix Point Never, and Jim Carrey all mentioned when the album was announced this week. On Instagram last month, The Weeknd wrote, “Music can heal and that feels more important than another album rollout. Let’s just drop the whole thing and enjoy it with the people.”
