After Hours (2020) showcases The Weeknd’s signature blend of R&B and synth-heavy new wave, creating a dark, cinematic soundscape. The album explores themes of heartbreak, excess, and redemption, featuring hit singles like "Blinding Lights," "Save Your Tears," and "Heartless." With its 80s-inspired production and introspective lyrics, After Hours became one of The Weeknd’s most critically and commercially successful projects, solidifying his place as a genre-defying artist.
