Surprise! The Weeknd just dropped a new album and we did not feel it coming

Cape Town – The Weekend literally just dropped a new album out of nowhere and we can’t contain our excitement.

After implying new music on Instagram with short clips simply captioned “mastering” in recent weeks and dropping a massive hint with the album art cover on Thursday, The Weeknd released his fourth studio album called My Dear Melancholy at midnight.
