The Weeknd Teases Album Art for 'VI'

The Weeknd did NOT come to play!

During his performance a few weeks back at Rebel, The Weeknd announced that he’s currently working on his follow-up album, his sixth overall, “Being in Toronto these past two days, I haven’t been this inspired in years. I want you guys to be the first to know that I’m working on my new album right now. Chapter 6 coming soon.”

A few weeks later, here we are and there is Abel … teasing us with some pretty dope album art, using the caption, “Love this.  VI.”  So what does it all mean?  HotNewHipHop explains, “The black-and-white graphic shows the artist as we’ve known him throughout the years. There’s an image of him with his iconic hair deep in the picture, another of him rocking a forwards cap, with everything inside a depiction of what he currently looks like.  As it turns out that the image was created by a fan who regularly makes edits of her favourite artist. Nevertheless, the inclusion of “VI” in the caption means that the next chapter is soon coming and fans have definitely taken notice.”

When The Weeknd drops ‘VI,’ it will *hopefully* be a full length album, his first since Starboy, which by the way, celebrated its second birthday last week.

But something HUGE is coming! Following his Toronto performance, The Weeknd tweeted, “Some chapters are smaller than others.  Not this next one though …”
