The way each song flows into one another is so sick. This is my favorite EP of all time Edit: back watching in 2018, still his best project in my opinion
@Original hope he doesn't mess up in Mansionsz 2 They were lit af And I also think that him and Mike just ain't in the same vibe to make such an awesome album as Mansionsz anymore
Always remember, the fan base is partially based on the fact that he isn't as recognized as other artists and they like the fact they can consider themselves as a "special snowflakes". (pleuse don't witch hunt me now)
One day it's gonna happen. It will be most likely the best and last bear's project. Mark my words, i'm praying so much for bear to never stop making music but simultaneously i also want Afterglow part 2. It's such a difficult feeling to describe. Yet, he's my reason to continue living.
The album is perfect and not just saying that as a fan. Very cohesive, lyrics and production are on point. Its like listening to a movie the visuals aint even needed. Great great work. One of the best projects ive heard in a long time.
The way I'm depressed and have anxiety, but this shit makes me forget it and I've come off anti-depressants because it makes me feel so so much better. Thanks Bear, ilyssssssm.
lowkey highkey happy that bear is starting to blow up. ngl i used to like how underground he was and wanted it to stay like that but now he's getting places and i couldn't be more proud of him
I make it a point to just listen to different albums depending on when they came out to get "the feel" that year had because he always captures it PERFECTLY
This is probably some of his best music to date. The way each song transistions into the next is perfect. Mod did a great job directing the video.... CLASSIC
Sometimes when I'm hearing Blackbears music, there's always this feeling in me thinking, what if she had never heart him the way she did? What would be of Blackbear? This dude is a genius producer/song writer but when he's the artist behind the mic it's as if you can feel what he went thru. He keeps it so relevant, it fucks with the soul...
Blackbear instantly became one of my favorites after I discovered him.. if it wasn't for him being with mike posner at the Grammys I would have never know who he was! This guy is awesome!!
I didn't know blackbear till this year. About 5 months ago, ever since I tried finding all his music so I could know it, because as I seen in twitter when.blackbear posts his old lyrics people say " only real fans would know." Which makes me get offended since I don't know most of his music, but now I do. and say "yup that's blackbear". Already got his Merch. I love him, couldn't never go to his concerts since my parents don't know him. Some think, I'm depressed but honestly I'm just chillin, it's all good I just love his lyrics the way his songs flow. I love him. And hope he gets more known for him, not his songs called " idfc " and " do re mi". Edit: people think I'm depressed because I listen to his music.
I come back here every now and then for the experience and the nostalgia. I love everything about this. The way it flows, the angelic dream like vocals, the visuals, everything. I love his projects like this and mansionz, that experiment more and have one idea behind the whole thing. I know a lot has changed for bear and so has his music, but I'm not mad. I'm just glad he's well. Actually it's kinda weird for artists to go back instead of changing. But this is a time capsule that still means a lot to me! Thank you
your songs are fucking awesome as always NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. man i'm just expecting more official videos. just like this & teenage waste. PLEASE BLACKBEAR MAKE MORE VIDEOS FOR YOUR FANS LIKE ME. :)
sheesh 2021, and its still relatable, remember the days being young and getting blazed like that was the thing to do, never wanting to grow up. And now I realize how short life truly is and how short your youth actually is.
i listen to blackbear since late 2015 and this is still my fav project with "Digital Druglord" coming close to my preference. hopefully 2020 we will get another masterpiece from bear.
If you have heard his music before this, under his actual name, it makes you wonder. What could have happened to make such a drastic change lyrical wise.
And Im not saying Ive known him before Blackbear. Ive only discovered him since last year. I just got really hooked into his music and wanted to know more about him.
If you know about his childhood or how he got here, it's pretty self explanatory. Shit he went through, the way he fought, the way Mike Posner had his back and pushed the industry to see him for the talented fucker he is.. I mean it took a shit ton of albums for one to hit mainstream radio. Should've happened forever ago, with any album, any track. Like you said, he's been at this since 16 full time. Half his life to catch a break. Understandable for sure.
This is literally beyond perfection, but he seems depressed idk maybe nylo or something like the colors and the lyrics though they are very good just fits that description. Overall this is literally an out of the box video and album I wish more musicians were like this.
I've been a fan for about 4 years....better late than never. I had heard a few of these songs but only just found this video and I can't even believe it. It's been blowing my mind for 3 weeks now. So good! Nothing like it!
Wow. Talk about some under rated talent...that'd be this guy...wicked ass visuals great voice. Not to mention hes so fkn easy on the eyes...actually he melts them outta my head..lol... Sighs *blackbear*
the real fans nowadays definitely will hear this (aka me, I've only been a fan since my friend introduced me to him a few months ago but since then I've tried to find every single song of his cos I love his music so much)
I listen to this whole album whenever reminiscing like TO THIS DAY 2019 baby I’m still listening at least once a month when I start going back to old memory’s and shit
Today, 2021 i just realized im listening this ep since 2015 it blow my mind at every song, produced so fkjnnc well, this is the best thing i ever ever heard in my enteire life so thank u bear
Aw I remember this album coming out on 4/20 of last year bear. Now it's almost going to be a year already of me falling in love with this beautiful music. This has to be my favorite of all time, especially the music video. 😍😍😍
Blackbear if you ever see this know that I am a die hard fan and this is your best piece. Hotel andrea and Grey L.A... I literally cry listening to your music. If it was not for you I would not fuckin be here. Thanks fot keeping me going. I FUCKING LOVE YOU LIKE OHMYGOD YOU CAN ART

Still one of the greatest pieces of art ever released. Can’t actually fathom how much this did for me.
NAH FR
And it's pretty much underground still, reserved for the real fans

how did i not realize there was a video for the entirety of the afterglow ep im crying
Right!!
You already know bear does the most for that content
@@morganfreeman8230😂😂😂😂😂
Right. Me too. Stumbled across this a few years back and was like what the actual fuck..
‘The Lobby’ transitioning into ‘Hotel Andrea’ is the best thing ever
saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame
bear is better than every mainstream artist you hear on the radio, people need to quit sleeping on him fr
Mew Preach🙌🏽
Hopefully he wont end up on that trash platform and stays underground with real fans. Like people need to think about it properly
Mew a year later and they still fucking sleeping fam mainstream cant handle
Cwoof11 even a year later than this comment and he is STILL slept on...
The way each song flows into one another is so sick. This is my favorite EP of all time
Edit: back watching in 2018, still his best project in my opinion
Mine too!
Original Ikr ?? I'm so diggin' it
Me too man, it came into my life at the right time
mine too he is so talented , a very pretty boy as well
2021 still here
Guys, who wants to help me find whoever hurt blackbear this much?....
SomeAsianGuy I'm down!
don't feel pity lol he's hurt people too
example?
all the girls he fucked and never called i guess?
that comes with being famous
the afterglow era has a special place in my heart... lets all go back :(
YESSS and the help era
i miss this kinda vibe from bear
Ur Fav Chinita I’m pretty sure he said something about the afterglow 2 on sc but I might’ve been high so idk
Me too
we all do
@Original Yeah, anonymous wasn't that bad. But don't even comes close to Deadroses , unfortunately.
@Original hope he doesn't mess up in Mansionsz 2
They were lit af
And I also think that him and Mike just ain't in the same vibe to make such an awesome album as Mansionsz anymore
Damn these videos are something else
1. NYE ( 0:00 - 2:48 )
2. Valley Girls ( 2:49 - 6:23 )
3. Califormula ( 6:24 - 10:00 )
4. Grey LA ( 10:01 - 13:21 )
5. The Lobby ( 13:22 - 14:19 )
6. Hotel Andrea (14:20 - 17:44 )

Thank you
Luv you!
I think this is Bear's greatest album
it is…. none of his other projects measure up to the afterglow
he deserves so much more recognition tbh
IKR
Always remember, the fan base is partially based on the fact that he isn't as recognized as other artists and they like the fact they can consider themselves as a "special snowflakes". (pleuse don't witch hunt me now)
Please*
Honestly it pisses me off that he doesn't
yesssss. i love that too. but i'm just saying he deserves way more than what he gets. you feel? i know what you mean tho.
The way that The Lobby transitions to Hotel Andrea... that shit gives me goosebumps still. Still praying for the Afterglow part 2 🙏🏻
Yeah..
One day it's gonna happen. It will be most likely the best and last bear's project. Mark my words, i'm praying so much for bear to never stop making music but simultaneously i also want Afterglow part 2. It's such a difficult feeling to describe. Yet, he's my reason to continue living.

i truely miss this bear, i know he has to go mainstream but it's so sad that we wont hear this bear again...
i love him from the bottom of my heart, these changes had to happen, unfortunately
Am I the only one who still watches this because it lit
hell yeah
this shits amazing
If I see one more "lit" posted around here I'm going on a fucking killing spree.
I watch it because I love Bear & his music voice & its lit af :)
Acoustic Silk lit😂
this is art.
The way I'm depressed and have anxiety, but this shit makes me forget it and I've come off anti-depressants because it makes me feel so so much better. Thanks Bear, ilyssssssm.
Can’t believe I’ve been listening to him for over 7 years. Miss his older music
on god
what genre is this? this is dope
@@hedgehog11953the genre is blackbear lol. I’d say it’s like alt-r&b if I had to put a name to it though.
Black bears blues
The new stuff does have a tendency to grow on me as well tho. But the oldies are golden
lowkey highkey happy that bear is starting to blow up. ngl i used to like how underground he was and wanted it to stay like that but now he's getting places and i couldn't be more proud of him
Starting in 2020, im making it a tradition, to listen to the afterglo every New Years.

Keep on watching❤️ blackbear is the best! Gonna do the same thing u doing🤘
@@xander7099 still watching? 👀
I can't tell if I like this or Cashmere Noose more, they're both amazing.
Ikr
The best album obviously is digital druglord
best album Druglord, but ep I personally favor cashmere noose THEN this artwork. wish noose and dd got features like this ahhh
aina computer noose i feel like has a different aesthetic to this- i feel like it’s more kinda childish idk but i still love it
This is probably some of his best music to date. The way each song transistions into the next is perfect. Mod did a great job directing the video.... CLASSIC
I freakin listen to The Afterglow and Sex albums when i go to bed every night, its so chill.
This is raw, I always wanted to do something like this for my project its cool to see how other people present their music. In the end its all art
This album still one of his bests and I really miss this vibe. I rlly hope the Afterglow 2 is as good as this one.
And this was directed by Mod Sun?? awesome! love both both of them
still here 8 years later
still his best album :’)

The voice change with blackbear then and now.

this EP is the best creation ever made by an artist
kepa Facts, one of my favorite EPs by him
17:44 minutes of your life you would never regret.
Nigga Ima Real 1 exactly
tbh
Best musical ever 😍
blackbear just bought some drugs
From a man he didn't know from the Lobbey

Ayten 🥀 2019 almost over I still listen to him everyday
2020 and love his art so much still to this day and the aesthetic in these vids and just the art and story it feels like its telling. Truly amazing
I come back here every now and then for the experience and the nostalgia. I love everything about this. The way it flows, the angelic dream like vocals, the visuals, everything.
I love his projects like this and mansionz, that experiment more and have one idea behind the whole thing.
I know a lot has changed for bear and so has his music, but I'm not mad. I'm just glad he's well.
Actually it's kinda weird for artists to go back instead of changing.
But this is a time capsule that still means a lot to me!
Thank you
Somehow I can really feel the lyrics in this one...
Best to hear this in your room with lights out at night..
Whose still here listening in 2021? I love this man. ♥
happy 6th birthday to the afterglow! 😭
A MASTERPIECE OMG
My faves are califormula and hotel andrea but I love all of them ❤️

I love Valley Girls' ending is the begining of Califormula
still incredible and beautiful in 2021
ikr
This is a classic...man I could listen to this day in and day out...years later this is still a masterpiece .
og bear stans rise UP!!!
Blackbear is just incredible. The afterglow is so beautifully pieced together
i will never get bored of this album.
NYE and hotel Andrea actually give me goosebumps
Blackbear never fails to amaze me with what he releases and the fact that ModSun directed this, wow. Just...wow.
I'm crying every single time i rewind Afterglow. Such a nostalgic feels, so much pain and sounds i can relate to. Bear has saved my life...
And the way he explains them with the video just mindfucked how good it is
I come back multiple times per year, this is definitely imo his best work.
i love you blackbear 😘😍💓
finding out that you've been listening to this ep since 2014 hits different now that 2021 is almost over 💀💀

king of emotion.
4 year laters and this still amazes me at how great it is. Definitely should've had more views than it got
To Me It Doesn't Deserve More Views Because Just People Who Good Taste In Music And Who Have Know Blackbear For A While Will Watch This *Magic.*
Still here 6 years later
Finally some real fan tho.
Flawless from start to finish.
This ep is golden, and should never be forgotten, love you bear ❤️
In 2019 still an masterpiece! Just love the lyrics the flow of each song fading into another.
Really Really Great EP.
