We ranked every track from TheWeeknd's AfterHours. Where did your favorite land on the list?
The 30-year-old’s highly anticipated fourth studio album dropped off a pair of singles, “Heartless” and “Blinding Lights,” before its full official release on Friday ., the new album is chock full of vibes found at the dance party’s after-party. The 14-song project appears to be his most well-rounded to date, interweaving his signature hazy trap beats and despondent narrative with upbeat, '80s-plucked synthesizers and hopeful lyrics about rectifying past transgressions.
-- with bass-heavy trap rhythms. While trap is a staple in The Weeknd’s music at this point, sometimes, it feels like a crutch. However, this particular hip-hop transition is welcome, as it continues to infuse the airy, experimental sound.“Faith” boasts some of the best production on the album. While not as melancholic as a typical The Weeknd/Metro Boomin collaboration, the synths and trap work together incredibly well.
-esque instrumentation gives way to toe tap-inducing trap bass, while lyrics about substance abuse showcase the Weeknd’s go-to narrative.In what is perhaps the album’s most potent and visceral story arc, The Weeknd reminisces about his past life before his come-up, detailing his vices and the life he one day may have to leave behind.
-style energy with a much more enthusiastic lyrical approach displaying thoughts on his relationship, which it appears he doesn’t want to live without.One of the more vulnerable songs on the album, “In Your Eyes” has The Weeknd dropping his guard to let some of his feelings out. One of the project's biggest standout moments is the “Careless Whisper”-style sax solo thanks to instrumentalist Tomas Jannson, which takes the song to truly nostalgic proportions.
