The Weeknd wrote "cathartic" songs after his split from Selena Gomez.
The 'Blinding Lights' hitmaker has seemingly hinted he penned a number of songs following his split from the singer and actress and described the whole experience as a "cathartic piece of art".
Esquire reports that it took The Weeknd just two and a half weeks to write, record and release his six-song 2018 EP 'My Dear Melancholy', which is believed to be about his breakup with Selena.
Speaking to Esquire magazine, he shared: "The reason why it was so short is like, I think I just had nothing else to say on this ... whatever ... It was just like this cathartic piece of art. And yeah, it was short, because that's all I had to say on this situation."
The Weeknd - real name Abel Tesfaye - started dating Selena in early 2017, before the couple ultimately decided to call it quits later that year at around November time.
