A Night in Toronto: The Weeknd Reveals Chapter 6 Is Coming
Toronto’s own singer, the Weeknd, dropped the signal that he’s brewing his next full‑length record, christened “Chapter 6.” The 28‑year‑old dropped the news during a hometown show and promised fans an explosive new chapter of his sonic journey.
From EP to Epic Album
After delighting listeners in March with the six‑track EP My Dear Melancholy, the Weeknd is already eyeing the big picture—an LP that will follow his 2016 classic Starboy. He admitted that a “beautiful,” upbeat collection he’d penned months ago was tossed aside, “because it didn’t reflect who he was right then.”
What the Artist Said
- “In Toronto these past two days I’ve never felt this pumped with inspiration,”
he told the crowd. - “I’m working on my new album right now. Chapter 6 is coming soon, let’s get it!”
- On Twitter, he teased: “Some chapters are smaller than others. Not this next one though…”
Why Fans Are Buzzing
Word got out quickly: the Weeknd’s new project promises a deeper, more personal sound than the light‑hearted EP he released earlier. He explained that the discarded collection was “upbeat and beautiful,” but “it didn’t feel authentic to perform.”
Adding Fame After Fame
While the Weeknd’s tracks have earned him a legion of fans, his influence even reached iconic singer Barbra Streisand. She admitted that her songs “Don’t Lie To Me” and “The Rain Will Fall” were inspired by the vibe of his track “Starboy.” She was struck by the music’s pattern and described it as “really cool.”
What’s Next?
With Chapter 6 on the horizon, the Weeknd is setting the stage for a musical adventure that pairs soulful melancholy with an upbeat spirit—just the right mix to keep fans on their toes.
