    Mais uma vez temos um ótimo trabalho feito pelo Abel Makkonen, trazendo para o mundo músicas que satisfazem aqueles que o acompanham a um tempo. A faixa "Blinding Lights" encanta pela sua pegada synthpop chiclete, e me deixou realmente viciado desde a primeira vez que ouvi, hoje vejo que ele fez um trabalho tão bom quanto, em todo o álbum.

    O After hours é o melhor trabalho do Abel depois de alguns tempos. A mistura de sons oitentistas em contraste com trap que envolvem o álbum deixam a obra bem interessante. Com uma ideia de álbum cinematográfico Abel tesfaye conseguiu trazer um álbum genial com letras obscuras e sensuais como de costume

    Sequencing is EVERYTHING. This album has incredible pacing and each song transitions right into the other with an underlying theme.

He knows that he is in love and wants to stop the madness, but he also doesn't feel alive or himself without it. The end result is him battling duality, and eventually nearly or even overdosing, and it isn't until then that he starts to reflect on his life and decision making.

    AFTER HOURS. It has been 1211 days since the release of STARBOY. This new album is special to me. The first listen already showed me that this album has stringer production, lyrics, concept. The cohesiveness of AFTER HOURS will impress you! Absolutely enjoyed it! In my opinion, this is his best album. 10/10

    One of the best albums of the Canadian singer and compositor, the album gives an old vibe of his first mixtapes and the sound of 80's. His voice is incredible and the sounds that he put to his voice make the album better. It's an album to dance and cry, and also feel like nobody deserves you.

    “After Hours” shares very personal sides of Weeknd’s life, while the sound of it try to camouflage all the problems he’s being through. Maybe, it’s the best part of it, which makes the project a very definitive point of his career.

    From front to back, After Hours delivers some of Abels best work yet. Being a huge fan of his earlier projects, this might be his most experimental and genre-challenging album yet. This, in combination with Abels incredible vocals and flow, makes this album stand out from the rest of his discography as maybe the best one yet. A true evolution of The Weeknd.

    The album is absolutely amazing. The Weeknd is such a committed artist and it's astonishing how his music is so nicely haunting. Tracks like "Blinding Lights" and "In Your Eyes" definitely show the radio appeal that the album has in some parts but that isn't the main goal of the project. Lyrically rich and sonically well-crafted songs like "Too Late", "Faith" and "After Hours" guaranteeThe album is absolutely amazing. The Weeknd is such a committed artist and it's astonishing how his music is so nicely haunting. Tracks like "Blinding Lights" and "In Your Eyes" definitely show the radio appeal that the album has in some parts but that isn't the main goal of the project. Lyrically rich and sonically well-crafted songs like "Too Late", "Faith" and "After Hours" guarantee the hard work in the making of the album. We shall not forget the super nostalgic influence of the 80s beats and sax solos. Artists have been bringing back trends from decades ago very often, but it seems like 2020 is officially the year of "Future Nostalgia" as the pop artist Dua Lipa has been calling it.… Expand

    Álbum incrível, o perfeito contraste entre os anos 80 e o rnb contemporâneo, letras pessoais e incríveis, além de uma sonoridade que te leva a ter muitos sentimentos, os sintetizadores, todos os detalhes, os vocais agudos, tudo nesse álbum é perfeito.

    If you don't like this album, just try to listen again. You'll realise what I'm trying to say. This is a real masterpiece and all the songs are NOT same. You have to be earless to say that. 9.6/10

    An incredible experience. The weeknd blends his older albums and gives a seemless atmospheric sound that is forever. Best album of the year so far

    Beautiful don't know what else to say about it other than that. "Too late" and "faith" and "hardest to love" have to be my favourites out of the songs not already released before the actual album released. Technically I could list all of them because they are all great.

    All tracks represent a feeling he was going through. As a listener you are able to feel the pain and the happiness the artist was going through. You can find love, fear, friends, enemies, violence, dancing, sex, demons, angels, loneliness, and togetherness all in this album.

    He’s finally perfect the sound he’s been aiming since his commercial debut. A perfect blend of ominous, powerful production with the lyricism his fans love him for.

    This is the first masterpiece of this decade, the production, lyrics and everything are high level. Can´t wait what The Weeknd does next.

    You won a new fan.

    Masterpiece.

    Perfeito em tudo que se propõe a fazer. O homem é uma máquina, uma besta enjaulada, artista y artista.

    This album is amazing. As a hard core fan I had been anticipating this album and it did not disappoint. The production is fantastic and I love the 80's synths he experiments with. There are so many great songs I can't pick my favourite but being a big fan of his mixtapes I can really appreciate some of the darker songs.

    The production is flawless. ... But the obvious big tunes fall flat.

    Spidery tendrils of sex-and-drugs-related dread curl around dramatic synth-pop and twinkling R&B, Yet there's also a batch of tracks that draw from bombastic, slightly tacky '80s pop - a warm, funny and wholly welcome diversion from the stylish but sterile bleakness that remains Tesfaye's calling card.
