The Weeknd is preparing to release "Kiss Land" his second studio album since "Trilogy." The "Wicked Games" singer has been finding inspiration for his new album in Japan with the visuals for his latest singles featuring a slew of Japanese models and artwork. After releasing the steaming semi-porn video for his lead single "Kissland" in June, Abel Tesfaye teamed up with Anthony Mandler to release a mini-film for his new single "Belong to the World," and Sunday night he released the official album cover for his highly anticipated 2013 album.

The simplistic cover features the sweet sounding crooner and a siple album title with the same grennish hue that saturates "Kiss Land" and "Belong to the World," music videos.  As we mentioned, The Weeknd dropped a 7 minute 47 second long video for his second single "Belongs to The World," earlier in July.  The video follows the soft-spoken Canadian crooner through the streets of Japan as he mentally and visually stalks his Japanese love interest. While The Weeknd's last full-length album, Trilogy was packed with slow bedroom tracks, "Belong to the World," adopts an up-tempo sound which pairs well with Abel's sultry hymns.
