Dad Reacts to The Weeknd: Dawn FM

Dawn FM by The Weeknd is a concept album framed as a surreal radio broadcast guiding listeners through a liminal space between life and the afterlife, hosted by a soothing yet eerie DJ. Blending synth-pop, new wave, and disco influences, the project explores themes of regret, self-reflection, emotional purgatory, and the search for redemption. Through upbeat yet haunting production, The Weeknd contrasts glossy melodies with lyrics about heartbreak, ego, destructive patterns, and the hope of spiritual release, ultimately presenting the album as a journey toward accepting one’s past and moving toward the light.
