Breakups are rough. An ex’s quick rebound back to their other ex after a breakup is rougher. Which is how we presumably arrived at this moment, in which the Weeknd has (vaguely) announced that he’s dropping a surprise album tonight. It’s titled after his many feelings: My Dear Melancholy, with a comma at the end. My dear melancholy, what??? Go ahead, Abel, pour your heart out; let the sweet catharsis consume you. The Weeknd has shared the apparent cover for the project with no context other than “tonight,†however a journalist in London spotted a billboard promoting the album’s release (also, Travis Scott previously blabbed about its existence). The poster says “available now,†which really likely means midnight, but true gloom haunts everywhere, all the time.
