Hope its a troll. I don't understand this trend of guys dropping album covers to stimulate conversation. Cheap way of promo-ing the album, especially for someone like Abel.

But who am I

you mean like how Artists for 80+ years would release lead singles and cover art work to stimulate conversation and promo the album ?

Are u from Bosnia or somethin breh?:gucci:

album cover :mjlol:


Pure trash.

dude is throwing all these resources into make up and prosthetics (like the last failed album marketing scheme) and it’s just falls flat.

And It’s like unless you are reeeeeeeeally into him and his music these days you have no fukkin idea what all of this shyt is about. I’m sure to him it has some meaning but enough is enough with the gimmicks.

you to a point where you just sorta want to hear the music.

After Hours had a balance of the new wave 80’s style The Weeknd adopted & the Alt R&B style from the Trilogy era. If not for the pandemic, that album would’ve been insanely massive but it still was very successful. I’m seeing people on here saying it’s a classic and I wouldn’t argue. :wow:

I’m all for artists evolving and wanting to try new things so I hope this new album is indication that he will further do that. The 80’s shyt is cool but he’s been stuck on that sound since Starboy and I just wanna hear something fresh and he needs to leave the HOB style in the past too because he can never recreate that magic again.

While it’s good to hear, he gave us enough of that too.
