The album intro song gets an astral rework from co-producer OPN
Oneohtrix Point Never, a prominent co-producer on the Weeknd’s Dawn FM, has remixed the album intro. Check out the track (and its funky cover art) below. OPN, aka Daniel Lopatin, was also credited as a composer and lyricist on the original, as well as playing keyboards and programming, all alongside Abel Tesfaye himself.
In April, the Weeknd promoted Dawn FM track “Out of Time” with a flurry of promo: After pressing the single to vinyl on a functioning saw blade, he shared a video featuring Jim Carrey and South Korean actor HoYeon Jung. He followed that up with a Kaytranada remix of the track. Dawn FM was recently long-listed for the Polaris Prize.
