After Hours is the fourth studio album by Canadian singer the Weeknd, released on March 20, 2020, by XO and Republic Records. Primarily produced by the Weeknd, it features a variety of producers, including DaHeala, Illangelo, Max Martin, Metro Boomin, and OPN, most of whom the Weeknd had worked with previously. The standard edition of the album has no features, but the deluxe edition features Ariana Grande and the remixes edition contains guest appearances from Chromatics and Lil Uzi Vert. Thematically, After Hours explores loneliness, self-loathing, and escapism.

Prior to the album's release, the Weeknd confirmed that After Hours would contrast stylistically with its predecessor, Starboy (2016). Music journalists have noted the album as an artistic reinvention for the Weeknd, with the introduction of new wave and dream pop influences. The artwork and aesthetic for its promotional material has been described as psychedelic and being inspired by various films, such as Casino (1995), Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998), Joker (2019), and Uncut Gems (2019), while its title is borrowed from the 1985 film of the same name directed by Martin Scorsese.

After Hours was supported by four singles: "Heartless", "Blinding Lights", "In Your Eyes", and "Save Your Tears", three of which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The title track was released as a promotional single. In March 2020, After Hours broke the record for the most global pre-adds in Apple Music history, with over 1.02 million users. The album received generally positive reviews; some critics named it the Weeknd's best work. It debuted atop the Billboard 200, marking the Weeknd's fourth number-one album in the US, and stayed atop the chart for four consecutive weeks. After Hours also reached the top spot in 20 other countries, including his native Canada and the United Kingdom. As of December 2022, the album is certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.

To support After Hours and his fifth studio album Dawn FM (2022), the Weeknd is currently embarking on the After Hours til Dawn Tour, which is set to span North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Australia.

Background and release

The Weeknd first teased that he was working on a new album during a performance in November 2018, telling the crowd that "Chapter VI was coming soon".[1] He continued to tease the project on January 12, 2019, by tweeting "no more daytime music". His post made fans and media outlets believe that he would continue the darker sounds that were present in his first EP My Dear Melancholy (2018).[2] The Weeknd further teased the album on August 6, by tweeting "album mode full effect".[3]

After a five-month period of silence,[4][5] the Weeknd revealed a snippet of the album's second single "Blinding Lights" through a Mercedes-Benz commercial.[6] The next day, he teased the album's lead single "Heartless", which was released on November 27, 2019; "Blinding Lights" was released two days later.[7][8][9] In the hours leading up to the release of "Heartless", the Weeknd took to social media to tease the album's era, posting "the fall starts tomorrow night" and "Tonight we start a new brain melting psychotic chapter! Let's go!"[10]

On February 13, 2020, the Weeknd revealed the album's title through a short teaser.[11][12] On February 19, he revealed the album's artwork and release date, and released its title track as a promotional single.[13][14] On March 17, the Weeknd unveiled After HoursШаблон:' tracklist.[15] Hours before the album was released, the Weeknd announced that After Hours was dedicated to longtime fan Lance, the host of the XO Podcast who died the night before.[16][17] On its release day, the album premiered on the eighth episode of the Weeknd's Apple Music 1 radio show Memento Mori.[18] At the same time, the Weeknd hosted a listening session on Spotify.[19]

Composition

Musically, After Hours is a R&B, new wave and dream pop record[20] that includes electropop[21] and synth-pop influences.[22] The album also contains elements of synthwave,[23] electro,[24] electro house,[25] trap,[26] drum and bass,[27] liquid funk,[28] and synth-rock.[29] Lyrically, After Hours explores themes of heartbreak, escapism, loneliness, promiscuity, overindulgence, self-loathing and regret.[30]

When asked about the reason behind the album's title, the Weeknd explained to Variety: "Oh, there are so many reasons for it. The main reason is these are all emotions and thoughts and feelings that I had late at night – [like the video] is all one night and I’m going through all the emotions, after the club, after the fight and after a long day, it's like these are my thoughts from 3 a.m. to 5 a.m."[27]

Artwork and aesthetic

The artwork and aesthetic for the album's promotional material has been described as psychedelic and being inspired by various films, such as: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998), Joker (2019), Casino (1995), and Uncut Gems (2019), with the last film having a cameo appearance by the Weeknd himself.[31] The title of the album was inspired by the 1985 movie of the same name by Martin Scorsese.[32] Tesfaye's physical appearance in the era has been described by journalists as being red-pigmented,[33] with him consistently maintaining a red suit and specific hairstyle throughout all of the album's promotional material, such as its artwork, music videos, teasers, and live performances.[34] When asked how the album ties in with storyline of the videos and the character on the album's cover, the Weeknd told Variety in 2020, "It's just a story that we're telling from the beginning of the "Heartless" video and continuing through ["Blinding Lights", "After Hours", "In Your Eyes" and "Until I Bleed Out"] and [his appearances on] Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert. This character is having a really bad night — all these videos are taking place in one night — and you can come with your own interpretation of what it is."[27] Regarding the character he played for the album, he told GQ in 2021: Шаблон:Blockquote

The album's overall art direction was primarily handled by the Tammi brothers,[35] with its design being handled by Aleksi Tammi,[35] and its photography and visual direction being handled by Anton Tammi, who directed the music videos for the album's singles, and the project's same-titled short film.[36] The album's creative direction was handled by the Weeknd's creative director and childhood friend La Mar Taylor.[37] Nabil Elderkin handled the photography and video direction for the promotional material of the deluxe version of the project,[38] in this material, Tesfaye continues the era's "Sin City" theme, with him residing within a casino and donning a black suit in the two teasers for the bonus tracks.[39]

The Target and HMV alternate cover of the album features the Weeknd against a black and red background, facing down to his right with a melancholic expression and bandaged face.[40] The After Hours (Remixes) EP cover features the Weeknd against a black background, wearing a black suit with a silver tie, facing straight ahead of him while looking top right with black rimmed sunglasses depicting a thunderstorm in their reflection.[41] The black suit used in the teasers for the deluxe edition of the album and cover art for the bonus tracks and remix EP was the first time the Weeknd wore a non-red suit in the promotional material for the project since his first live performance of "Blinding Lights" on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (dated December 6, 2019), in which he donned a red suit.[42]

On October 18, 2021, the Weeknd announced that due to arena constraints, the start of tour would be pushed back to the summer of 2022 and would now be held entirely in stadiums.

Hamish Hamilton, the event's annual director since 2010, returned to direct the performance.[99][100] In contrast to past years, a stage within the stadium was built (as opposed to a stage on the field), to ensure the safety of workers and players.[101] For the performance, he wore his signature red blazer and black necktie.[102]

Virtual experiences

In August 2020, Tesfaye collaborated with social media platform TikTok to hold an interactive augmented reality live stream titled "The Weeknd Experience" on various dates, with the first occurring on August 7, 2020.[103] The virtual concert featured several interactive components decided by popular vote, that would change the scenery of the livestream. 3D visuals featured in the livestream included back-up dancers that would appear with the Weeknd, who throughout the virtual experience would travel through hyperspace in a red convertible, surrounded by lasers in the virtual world.[104]

Another virtual experience collaboration occurred with Spotify during August 2020 as well.[105] This experience titled "Alone With Me", allowed users to interact with an AI based on the Weeknd in a highly personalized manner.[106] In the experience, the Weeknd AI would discuss with the user their stats in regards to Tesfaye's music, and play their most listened to songs from After Hours while the interaction occurred.[107]

Various tracks by the Weeknd including "Blinding Lights" and "Save Your Tears",[108] visual aspects from the album and its supporting tour were featured within the online battle royale game Fortnite, for the launch of its "Fortnite Festival" mode which the Weeknd headlined on December 9, 2023.[109]

Halloween Horror Nights haunted house

The house was based on and featured elements of the videos and short film from the album, and was soundtracked by the songs "After Hours", "In Your Eyes", "Heartless", "Blinding Lights", the solo version of "Save Your Tears", and "Too Late".[110]

Critical reception

Шаблон:Album ratings

After Hours was met with generally positive reviews from contemporary critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album received an average score of 80, based on 20 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[111] Aggregator AnyDecentMusic? gave it 7.7 out of 10, based on their assessment of the critical consensus.[112]

In a rave review, The New York Times journalist Jon Caramanica complimented After Hours for its "sparkled trauma, kaleidoscopic emotional confusion, urgent and panting physical release paired with failed-state romantic dyspepsia".[24] Writing for Consequence, Candace McDuffie stated that as the Weeknd evolves, "he continues to reinvent himself, and he knows exactly how to leave fans hooked on havoc", and After Hours proves that he is "not done with us yet; in fact, he's just getting started".[113] Exclaim! reviewer Jacob Carey stated that "After Hours does feel like the Weeknd's very own version of Vegas – a place where overindulgence, self-loathing and promiscuity are not only welcomed, but encouraged".[114] The GuardianШаблон:'s Michael Cragg praised the "sense of narrative cohesion" on the album, saying that its songs "bleed into each other", with the Weeknd exploring new sonic influences. He added that After Hours "feels like the first Weeknd album in a while to offer up a clear, singular vision rather than something frustratingly abstract".[115] Writing for The Independent, Roisin O'Connor stated that the album eschews the danceability of its predecessor for "moody introspection", and called it "the music you listen to when the party's over". O'Connor further compared the album to the Weeknd's previous releases, saying that After Hours "still delves into a sadboy persona but there's a tinge of remorse that runs through, in comparison to the cold and often cruel tone of earlier cuts".[116] Luke Morgan Britton of NME called it the Weeknd's "strongest record in some time", free of featured artists and "full of probing self-reflection".[117]

Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone wrote that After Hours "has its share of pity-partying", but also displays vulnerability that "goes beyond the usual too-beautiful-for-the-world sulking". Dolan explained that the album strikes the best balance between the "gloomy melodrama" of the Weeknd's early EPs or his 2018 release My Dear Melancholy and the "pop slickness" of his 2016 album, Starboy, at once lachrymose and sleek, cold but plush, like a lavishly ornamented fallout shelter.[118] Writing for Variety, Jem Aswad branded After Hours the "most fully realized album" of the Weeknd's career. He characterized the album's musical style as "ultra-cinematic keyboards, pulsating sub-bass, hard beats (which are seldom danceable), '80s synthesizer flourishes and caverns of echo, all of which contrast with his high, angelic voice". Aswad concluded that the album tests the balance "between innovation and commerciality as much as anyone today".[119] In less favourable reviews, David Smyth of Evening Standard particularly praised the track "Blinding Lights", but found the Weeknd to be "in a bit of a fug" on the rest of After Hours.[120] Tom Hull rated the album a B grade, finding it "remarkably consistent, at least until the closer drags its butt".[121]

Grammy controversy

Despite the major success of After Hours, The Weeknd did not receive any nominations for the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards. On November 24, 2020, and Tesfaye responded by calling the Grammys "corrupt" in social media posts, announcing the deletetion of his scheduled live performance at the ceremony.[134] Speculation arose over whether the announcement of his then-upcoming Super Bowl performance, as well as the confusion as to whether he should be nominated as pop or R&B, contributed to the snubs in all the categories he was submitted to by his team.[135] Harvey Mason Jr., interim president of the Recording Academy, responded to the backlash by saying: Шаблон:Blockquote

The Weeknd later remarked in an interview with Billboard that the snub felt like "an attack", asserting: "Look, I personally don't care anymore. I have three GRAMMYs, which mean nothing to me now, obviously [...] It's not like, 'Oh, I want the GRAMMY!' It's just that this happened, and I'm down to get in front of the fire, as long as it never happens again. I suck at giving speeches anyways. Forget awards shows."[136] Despite the Recording Academy announcing the elimination of private nominating committees,[137] Tesfaye said that moving forward with his career, he will prevent his record label from submitting his work for Grammy consideration.[138]
