  • The Weeknd - Alone Again | Vevo Official Live Performance
    The Weeknd's 'After Hours' is one of those albums that paints vivid pictures. Abel Tesfaye's music has a dark radiance that's both dreamy and eerie, and the record's videos flaunt their sensuality with a macabre grace. So we were thrilled to work with the singer and their team on three exclusive performances from the 'After Hours' song list. We're kicking off our roll-out with "Alone Again." Be here tomorrow and Wednesday for "In Your Eyes" and "Faith."

    abel is probably is the only artist in the industry that released an artistically compelling album this year, paired with a cinematic narrative and a consistent concept throughout every single one of his live performances. his record 'blinding lights' surpassed 1 BILLION streams back in june, making it the most-streamed song in the world. 'in your eyes' is a track with a synthpop/post-disco flair that is noted to be a stand-out track from the whole album - the saxophone solo was the most satisfying thing i'd heard and i wish i could go listen to the track (hell, even the whole album) again. every single track was amazing - faith, alone again, snowchild, scared to live, save your tears, after hours (MY FAVOURITE!). 'after hours' was given a professional rating of 80/100, based on 20 reviews. it was definitely 'album of the year' in the eyes of critics' as well.
    my point is that this year, no artist reinvented themselves the way abel did. few artists evolved but no one is close to this man. he left his fans hooked for more and he GAVE more. he worked so hard and i've got this emptiest feeling after hearing those wretched grammy noms. he really deserved recognition from them for his success and self-reflection this year.
    in conclusion, fuck the grammys.

      I agree that The Weeknd did this, but to say he's the only artist to release an artistically compelling album this year puts aside a lot of great, creative artists. Perhaps in mainstream your statement is correct, but to name a few, I urge you to listen to Michael Kiwanukas latest album KIWANUKA, released late last year. Also, The Slow Rush by Tame Impala is a fantastic album, as is Fetch the Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple. Good music is out there, if you feel the charts are lacking as I often do, have a dive into the richness of artists who release music for musics sake, you won't be dissapointed. Much love :)

      Dikoo that sentence doesn’t make sense. “I too, two much.” He also notoriously does drugs. He’s talking about over dosing. He references drugs various times throughout this album. I’m pretty sure when he sings “I threw two thousand ones in the sky” he’s referencing blowing money on drugs.
