The Canadian Starboy delivers “After Hours”, a hit fourth album that blends 80s new wave, soul, R&B and synthwave. The Weeknd
Delen
The Weeknd is de artiestennaam van de Canadese rapper en muzikant Abel Tesfaye (1990). Hij debuteert in 2013 met het album Kiss Land, waarop hij zachtaardige vocalen mixt met giftige teksten. De plaat haalt de tweede plaats in de Canadese charts. De opvolgers Beauty Behind the Madness (2015) en Starboy (2016) doen het nog beter en halen beide de nummer 1-positie. In 2018 brengt hij de EP My Dear Melancholy uit.

Pitchfork: Best New Music
In 2011 bracht Abel Tesfaye, beter bekend als The Weeknd, drie gratis mixtapes uit, House of Balloons, Thursday, en Echoes of Silence. Op Trilogy zijn ze verzameld met remastered geluid en drie nieuwe nummers toegevoegd. Tesfaye drukt onbeschaamd smerige gevoelens uit over drugs, feesten, drugs, slechte meisjes, drugs, strippers, drugs, goede meisjes die slecht worden, en drugs – allemaal hebben ze hetzelfde doel en krijgen ze dezelfde hoeveelheid aandacht. Er zijn momenten op deze nummers waarop Tesfaye opmerkelijk aangrijpend klinkt, met dodelijke hooks en op een of andere manier zingend alsof zijn leven er van afhangt ondanks het koude bloed dat door zijn aderen stroomt. Toen dit pakket werd uitgebracht, was hij mainstream momentum aan het vergaren met verschijningen op Drake’s “Crew Love” en Wiz Khalifa’s “Remember You.” Zijn potentie is net zo duidelijk als zijn teksten giftig zijn.

Abel Tesfaye, aka The Weeknd, is back with his anticipated fourth album After Hours, an intoxicating R&B record that feels like a natural progression from its predecessors. After 2016’s Starboy and the EP My Dear Melancholy 2 years later, the chart-topping singer made his acting debut in the Netflix thriller Uncut Gems alongside Adam Sandler. This may have been behind the inspiration for this new character the singer portrays with a broken nose, leather gloves and deep red tux in the album cover and the music video for lead single Blinding Lights, reminiscent of A-Ha’s Take On Me, the new wave from the 1980s and its synthwave revival. “I don’t like to leave my house too much. It’s a gift and a curse but it helps me give undivided attention to my work… It distracts from the loneliness, I guess”, confesses the Canadian. Unlike Starboy, there are no features on this album, The Weeknd choosing instead to invite a range of top tier producers to refine the music: Metro Boomin on the epilogue Until I Bleed Out, Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker on Repeat After Me (Interlude), the loyal Illangelo, vaporwave pioneer Oneohtrix Point Never for Scared to Live and even hitmaker Max Martin (Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Britney Spears) for the pop-sounding Save Your Tears, resulting in 14 tracks that blend soul, R&B and new wave nuances. ©️ Charlotte Saintoin/Qobuz

The Weeknd's career deserved a best of. Shortly after the release and the worldwide success of After Hours in 2020, and without a doubt one of his best projects, The Highlights is a synthesis of ten years of music, ten years spent defining modern pop. So, let's say it right away, there are no surprises here in terms of the track list. We find The Weeknd's hits, including the latest phenomenon, Blinding Lights, but also I Feel it Coming , a duet with Daft Punk, or The Hills, which truly transformed him into a global pop star in 2016. With no new material, this Greatest Hits allows you to retrace the Canadian's discography, but also to make some detours through projects other than his albums, in particular thanks to Earned It from the soundtrack to the film 50 Shades of Grey, to Pray For Me from Black Panther, or Love Me Harder, featuring Ariana Grande and released on the album My Everything by the latter in 2014. © Brice Miclet/Qobuz

The Weeknd is going back to his roots on this surprise album (or half album) that he has gifted the world. After a collaborative album with Daft Punk (Starboy), which shot him to international stardom and also brought him a Grammy, the R&B singer from “The 6” (Toronto Metropolitan Area) has shifted back to a more personal effort. Abel Tesfaye, or alias The Weeknd co-writes 6 deeply personal tracks that focus on love, drugs and sex, the perfect formula for an R&B album. He opens up more than ever about his current trials and tribulations with relationships, but his pain is our gain. The 21 minutes of music is vintage The Weeknd from his album Trilogy, deeply chilling with distressed synths and spacey falsetto vocals. OG fans of The Weeknd will love this record, while it will still create many new ones.
