The Weeknd will release new material next month

Following his 2013 debut studio album ‘Kiss Land,’ The Weeknd will release new material next month. Whether this refers to a new single, or perhaps a full-length second record remains to be seen, but as Revolt point out - The Weeknd is playing all over the shop this summer. High-profile festival dates at Coachella, Austin City Limits, and Lollapalooza certainly hint at a substantial summer release.

Also hinting towards new material is Charlie Walk, an exec at Republic Records. He tweeted:

It confirms The Weeknd’s first release since ‘Earned It,’ the song he wrote for the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack. Whatever it is, it’ll be out in June. Watch this space.
