The Weeknd - "After Hours" TRACK REVIEW

@@wayned535 true but his deepcuts on the other albums were kind of lackluster With these singles he's releasing, this could genuinely be a good album

[@Super-zq3pn]

The whole 6 minutes kept me hooked. I actually hope he has another long song on the album if its gonna be like this.👏🏽

[@jakegraham3758]

Super historically any Abel song 6+ minutes are always bangers definitely wouldn’t mind if he goes back to that on this album

[@isuperzivd7288]

it says the album have 14 songs and 45 min long, and we already have 3 tracks together they're almost 13 min so

wow a comment related to the song

[@jakegraham3758]

[@RedicleOfficial]

Isabella De Almeida E Silva how is heartless anywhere near his signature style 💀💀💀

[@isabelladealmeidaesilva9459]

Zaza all his radio hits are about getting high, fucking in general and living the best life... after my dear melancholy, heartless was him literally saying that he’s back to those ways. Also, I’m saying this from the perspective of the public eye, which knows him for “the hills”, “in the night”, “I can’t feel my face” and other songs w that vibe, yk?

[@thraitor7819]

To be fair this is literally one of his best tracks since like 2011

[@TheWolffriendly]

No

[@NJASZN]

I’m definitely really excited for the album after listening to this one. I like the fact that he starting to mature lyrically and he’s taking a step away from all of the over sexual lyrics and emphasizing a little more on his insecurities and his emotions. It makes them a lot more relatable. I definitely do get kiss land vibes from this track, and I feel like we’re ready for him to maybe even make some music about the world or something outside of relationships. I’m very curious to see what he thinks about other topics besides relationships.

[@sander8581]

"Love Abel's album, but the other songs also needed a title for it to be worth my time. Solid 4/10"

Hi Anthony , hope you’re doing well too

[@eddington111]

i got so hype just now seeing this in my recommended but then realized its the title track review.

[@sarahriley2928]

I think all 3 speak to a very chaotic, fleeting euphoria that the character is trying desperately to hold on to. as if after the character from previous albums got what he wanted, now he's clinging to a happiness that never came. but we'll see once the album drops

[@maxhedges4167]

Good review, but proclaiming that being black was holding him back musically seemed a little off-color.

I’d hate to be that guy. But on your Yeezus review you said Kanye was so behind the curve, but here in 2020 you’re talking about Yeezus influencing this

[@Ben-es7ut]

no he said human after all-era daft punk inspired this. yeezus was clearly partially inspired by human after all as well (likely why he wanted daft punk on the record) but with more of a hip-hop tone, similar to this

overall good review but i found it unnecessary to say that the track cover art looks like "the weeknd getting a surprise by turning on lights when he's eating out his girl" :/

[@VCardGaming]

I interpreted the cover art as the Weeknd just got out of a very hard fight and he just barely won. He's overcome this battle, and he'll never be the same, but nonetheless he survived and now he looks down at his competitor knowing it/they weren't enough to break him.

[@sumant6523]
