The Weeknd is ready to issue his official debut album, following the repackage and release of his three mixtape project, Trilogy. The Canadian crooner announced Sunday (March 17) via Twitter that the forthcoming effort will be titled 'Kiss Land.' Keeping his incognito suave, the R&B crooner remained mum about upcoming singles or release dates.
The Weeknd’s major label release, Trilogy, which consists of three discs of previously released music from his three mixtapes, House of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes of Silence, along with three new songs, debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart.
The Weeknd is one of the most recognizable names in music today, and he’s just announced his official debut album title. Fans have been eagerly awaiting new music from The Weeknd for some time now, since his last release was back in 2016. Now, they can finally rejoice as there’s a lot to look forward to!
The Weeknd has come a long way since the start of his career in 2010 when he released three mixtapes – House of Balloons, Thursday and Echoes of Silence – which were later compiled into what’s known as Trilogy. His sound quickly gained traction with fans all over the world, leading him to become an international sensation. He dropped two studio albums following that – Beauty Behind the Madness (2015) and Starboy (2016) – both of which earned massive critical acclaim.
