Abel did an interview where he said BBTM and Starboy were more like a collection of songs but After Hours was where he really focused on making one whole body of work. He also said this was how he was going to start approaching his albums and tbh you can tell the difference in quality with Kissland and After Hours (both are like a whole body of work) compared to BBTM and Starboy. BBTM and Starboy should also be appreciated because they took him mainstream and i think that was the point of those two albums anyways. So with BBTM and Starboy having served their purpose of making him recognised i think Abel is back to making albums that feel more like one body of work with After Hours. Thoughts?

🤨”post to music ✅”

Realistically there’s nothing else this nigga can sing about I’m tired and so is everyone else big KEEP

Drake PND Young thug Playboi Carti.. I could go on. Basically most artistes are singing about the same s*** most of the time.

you know it

I just wish it didn't take him this long to realize it

He's 30 now, wish he took this approach 5 years ago

Nah he needed to make the music he was making then in order to get where he is now.

Tbh I have 0 issue with BBTM, aside from the feature tracks that album issa strong 8 for me and generally pretty cohesive

More so wish the Starboy-era was sorted with this approach, he could have streamlined that album so much more, it's really all over the place

All this begs the question though, where tf does Abel go next?

He's gone full-pop, then made an attempt at going back to his roots with some tracks off MDM and a significant portion of tracks on AH

He can't re-visit 80s synth-wave now either after AH

“issa” does not mean “is a”

And those artists are all putting out dogshit. Still holding out for carti as he's pushing boundaries rn but he could easily do a young thug/Lil Uzi/Travis Scott/21 Savage and stop growing to make safe music for safe money

funny how after hours doesn’t have the same sound or content as abel’s other albums

but sure run with a false narrative

he can, he’s scratching the surface of his new sound

mdm was the beginning

Abel will keep inventing new genres and artists will keep copying him

SIMP SYNTH

Album is not good

After Trilogy it’s MDM > BBM > Kiss Land

Everything else I just pretend it don’t exist

Imagine believing this and missing out

Ima just say it before anyone else does, shut the f*** up

Mans said MDM and BBTM are better than Kissland. Get him outta here

shut up

You shut the f*** up b****

Kiss Land never did it for me except 2 songs

I’ve listened to all Weeknd album countless times even those I don’t like, I’m not missing on anything

You've gotta understand that Starboy was truthfully just slapped together. He was riding high off the success of BBTM,cancelled his tour with Rihanna and went in and recording that album purely off energy with no regard to cohesion. He just wanted to have fun with it
