Late Night (AFTER HOURS REMIX)
   â˘Â Late Night (AFTER HOURS REMIX) Â
-------------------------------
The Weekndâs original trilogy of mixtapes contributed towards a renewed faith in R&B. The imagery throughout the triad introduced us to Abelâs darkly-sexual and narcotic fueled lifestyle: a cycle of drugs, seduction and inevitable infidelity. It was raw and unfiltered. Kiss Land saw The Weeknd get a taste of his own medicine. Experiencing heartbreak after attempting to employ those same manipulative tactics on a new love. Beauty Behind the Madness had Abel tapping into a more caring side of himself, yet still repeating those same mistakes. And Starboy only confirmed that the dark prince of pop hadnât altered his sinful behaviours.
Despite the change in his production over each release, the subsequent sorrow and regret behind his actions has always remained. Heâs frequently the anti-hero of his own narrative. Continually repressing the idea of love yet constantly craving it. Wanting an emotional connection, but being fully aware of the pain that often comes along with it.
After Hours continues Abelâs conflicting dichotomy and has him continuing to live up to his pseudonym. âThe weekendâ with its promise of pleasure, romance and nightclub antics -- but also âthe weakenedâ in regards to the emotional toll his actions seem to have on him. Letâs venture through Abelâs latest descent and break down After Hours.

The Weeknd is the embodiment of the "I don't want to be horny anymore, I just want to be happy" meme

After Hours storyline: In Alone Again, he was struggling to draw the line between being in a relationship and living the nightlife. Too Late talks about how he can't be saved from himself. Hardest To Love and Scared To Live, he reminisces on hurting this lover so many times that she's hesitant to love anyone else. She ultimately leaves him, and he's kind of reflecting on that. Escape LA and Snowchild, he's reflecting on material things and women, but they all feel the same now. In Faith he parties so hard he OD's. Heartless and Blinding Lights, he's embracing the nightlife, and at the end of the songs he harkens back to a specific lover for comfort. In Your Eyes, The Weeknd suspects his lover of seeing someone else. In Save Your Tears, he tries to go back to this lover again, but this time she won't accept him. In Repeat After Me, it's confirmed that his lover finds someone else. The Weeknd is put off by this, and suggests that she doesn't love the new guy, and doing this to spite him. In After Hours, he misses this lover and the only way he can get close to his lover again is in his dreams. And the only way he can forget, is by getting high. But now, the high isn't working (after the OD scare, he realized the high he wants is unobtainable). And he's feeling lonely in those crowded rooms with all of those women that look the same. In Until I Bleed Out, he's sick of getting high, and he's sick of thinking about this lover, and the only way to stop it is by cutting himself, and bleeding out (killing himself). Final Lullaby was coming to terms with dying, and putting himself and his fantasies about his lover to sleep.

As someone who has listened to every album by The Weeknd, this was very insightful. Although I do wish that he switches themes on his next one, I can respect the fact that he pursues different sounds on each album. After Hours seems like a perfect closure to The Weeknd's theme of self-destruction and loneliness, and i wish he has found a closure too.

Thank you Bella and Selena for the part you played in creating this masterpiece

On The Weeknd's deluxe version, it ends with "final lullaby" which shows that he has finally come to terms with his breakup, wishing his ex peace and is ready to move on. This can also be shown in a few of his releases after the album, such as his feature on Ariana Grande's new album "off the table" - what do you think?

Abel's music SOUNDS so good that often times the masterful storytelling is overshadowed (atleast on initial listens) by his amazing voice and production. Even though he is one of the biggest artists in the world He's still underrated as a lyricist and a storyteller. Great video sir; you should do a "Breaking down KISS LAND" :)

The Weeknd is the Anti-Bruno Mars
Just like how Prince is the Anti-MJ
All of them are pop stars, but exists on opposite ends.

This album is full circle. Musically and visually (if we talk about music videos), ending goes straight again to begining
