After Hours was truly special

(For whoever reads this whole thing I appreciate you.) I just want to say a week before after hours dropped I had just went thru a break up, and when after hours dropped I felt it on a whole other level than any other album Abel dropped. I had the sense of loneliness, sadness, but also freedom to be or do what you want to do. At the time of when I had the break up, blinding lights was the single that had dropped so I was listening to that heavily during the first week of the breakup, it made me feel free, like I could do whatever I wanted. Then the album dropped, and I listened to it from start to finish on the first night, the following weeks I was doing my own thing, getting into the party vibe I used to not like, but I was feeling good, I was alone and didn’t have anybody to worry about except myself, and that’s how it went for a year until I met someone, and we’ve been together for 2 years now and I felt like I was in the dawn fm stage where it’s like redemption, but I still to this day still miss those after hours days.

Because of You sounds like The Weeknd ?

I once heard Because of You by Ne-Yo on the radio and was quite confused since I didn't remember The Weeknd producing a song like that. Looked up and was shocked. Y'all think the same too ?

Blinding Lights in Dolby Atmos Object Viewer

The Weeknd's entire catalog is mixed in Dolby Atmos. Atmos is an object-based surround sound format where sounds can literally move in 3D space.

Was "The Highlights" supposed to be a sort of expansion of "The Weeknd In Japan"?

I came across an album called "The Weeknd In Japan" and it was basically a set of all his greatest hits. The concept sounded similar to "The Highlights" album so I was wondering whether "The Highlights" was a spin-off of "The Weeknd In Japan".

I don't get the hype around Tell Your Friends. Enlighten me.

Yes, this post is a reaction to the song eliminator happening right now.

Personally, I've never liked this song, I've found it too bland, and until now I thought that this was an opinion shared by other Weeknd fans. It admittedly does have a cool video, but the song...I don't see what there is to like about it.

I actually revisited it since it had been a long time I had listened to it, maybe I was misremembering it. And you know what, the first 2 verses were decent. They didn't blow my mind, but were perfectly serviceable. I'd say the same thing about the production - the guitars aren't too crazy, but totally welcome, and I love the snarl that builds up through the 2nd chorus, preparing us for the when the song explodes...

And then Kanye happens. Completely killing any momentum the song has. The song tries to save itself by the 3rd verse, but I'm sorry, by then I've checked out.

And the lyrics, well, here's where I can see people gravitate towards the song. It's a celebration of how far he's come in life, and it's inviting you to be a part of it. But for me personally, I think the braggadocio aspect of it has been done better on Starboy and Kiss Land (songs, not albums), and the "acknowledgement of how far he's come" part has also been done better on Snowchild (this might be a hot take, but I own it, I think the song is a bit underrated).

So, I hope I've articulated my thoughts well enough. People who like/love this song, am I still missing a piece of the puzzle? Why do you love this song? Let me know in the comments.

anybody prefer Trilogy?

^ my XO tattoo to show my luv 🖤. I love Abel as an artist & his voice but I usually just listen to Trilogy. I love some of his other albums but Trilogy really helped me get through rough times in my life. the vibe, beats, his vocals, & the story behind Trilogy really helped me think about & accept life/certain situations in a different way. it will be my favorite album 4L! I’m listening to Heaven or Las Vegas right now 🤟🏼.
