The album also includes collaborations with Oneohtrix Point Never, Jim Carrey for the track 'Phantom Regret', Quincy Jones for 'A Tale By Quincey', Tyler, the Creator for 'Here We Go...Again', Lil Wayne in 'I Heard You're Married'.
For the release of the album, The Weeknd also held a live stream show, '103.5 Dawn FM', which was aired exclusively on the Amazon Music channel on Twitch and in the Amazon Music app. He will also be releasing exclusive merch for the event, including a limited-edition hoodie, T-shirt, and sweatshirt to commemorate the live stream, which fans can purchase on Amazon for the next 48 hours.
This follows the release of his critically-acclaimed album, After Hours, which sported a new wave, dream-pop, and R&B fusion sound. Now, he intends to further evolve his sound with his new album, and fans can enjoy "a new sonic universe from the mind of The Weeknd".
