After putting out quality gear this past summer with “MERCH RELEASE 002” and most recently “MERCH RELEASE 003”, The Weeknd wraps up 2018 with one final drop that proves he’s way more than just a multiplatinum-selling pop music phenomenon.
The aptly-titled “MERCH RELEASE 004” follows suit with what we saw previously, including hoodies — half-zip anorak and pullover options alike — T-shirts, long-sleeved shirts and a flannel to prep you for the winter solstice arriving next week. Speaking of the cold front, Abel also provides a black Levi’s XO denim jacket with sherpa lining, a beanie, and high socks to make sure your toes are toasty, too. The final product is a bit of a curveball: an “XO”-branded mason jar is the sole accessory, which we guess can be good use for storing all your Weeknd-centered memorabilia in. After a successful year that included two top 5 Hot 100 hits (“Call Out My Name” and the K. Dot-assisted “Pray for Me”), a chart-topping EP (My Dear Melancholy) and a major win at the 2018 GRAMMYs (Best Urban Contemporary Album, Starboy), this must feel like icing on the cake for the trailblazing crooner.
