The Weeknd is embarking on a new musical venture with the upcoming release of his project, The Idol Vol. 1. The singer took to social media to announce the project and shared a snippet of himself working on a track in the studio with Mike Dean.
While The Weeknd did not provide further details about the project, it appears that the multi-part album will accompany his upcoming HBO series, which he co-created with Sam Levinson from "Euphoria." The singer had previously revealed that his latest album, Dawn FM, was part of a new trilogy, but it remains uncertain where The Idol Vol. 1 fits in his discography.
