Content Introduction Beyond the pitch-black night, the dazzling light is sought?a completely new The Weeknd. The Weeknd, the "new generation R&B star" who captivates the world with his melancholic, emotional, and unique musicality. His first performance in Japan in December 2018 is still fresh in our memories, and he has now completed his long-awaited new album, "After Hours," his first original album since "Starboy" (2016). The two lead singles that were suddenly released in December 2019 were both huge hits. "Heartless" immediately became his fourth number one single on the US singles chart, following "The Hills," "Can't Feel My Face," and "Starboy," and in 2020, "Blinding Lights" became his first number one single on the UK singles chart. "Blinding Lights" was used as the global campaign song for Mercedes-Benz's electric vehicle, the EQC, which was announced last year, and The Weeknd himself appeared in the commercial, which also generated a lot of buzz. On February 19th, the album's title track, "After Hours," is an epic piece exceeding six minutes, which is rare these days. It further evolves The Weeknd's sound to include ambient elements, and incorporates ASMR-like noises throughout, showcasing an innovative sound approach that stimulates human instincts through hearing. As can be inferred from the three previously released tracks, "Heartless," "Blinding Lights," and "After Hours," The Weeknd has broken away from his previous image both musically and visually, venturing into new territory. This highly anticipated new album from a "completely new The Weeknd" is something to look forward to!
