The wait is finally over, as one of R&B's most anticipated acts returns with a brand new offering: 'After Hours', the fifth studio album from none other than Canadian sensation Abel 'The Weeknd' Tesfaye.

Following up his critically-acclaimed and commercially successful release in 2018 ('My Dear Melancholy'), The Weeknd has been keeping fans guessing for months on end as to what he had cooking behind closed doors. Thankfully, all speculation can now be put to rest with 'After Hours' finally seeing the light of day via XO Records/Republic Records.

Clocking-in at a tidy 47 minutes and seven seconds long (an eternity by modern standards), The Weeknd's latest opus promises plenty in terms of depth, emotion and sonic experimentation. And boy does it deliver! Across its impressive array of twelve tracks - which includes lead singles 'Blinding Lights' and the eponymous title track themselves - Tesfaye once again showcases his uncanny ability to craft atmospheric slow-burning ballads alongside infectious dancefloor anthems.

The Weeknd's new album is now available everywhere you can buy or stream music.
