Sad Boy Season is officially here. For The Weeknd's fourth album After Hours, the Canadian singer scrubs away his glitzy pop sensibilities from his Starboy era to bring back his smoky, gut-wrenching sound dating back to the early 2010s.
For 14 tracks, he brazenly jots down lines that are strong enough to sever any relationship, while taking ownership of his missteps. Anchored by the muddy topics of drugs, sex, and regrets, After Hours has a goldmine of lyrics built for shrugging off the lovebug.
