A healthy dose of heartbreak was just what R&B fans needed in the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and Canadian singer The Weeknd delivered that and more with the release of his fourth studio album After Hours at midnight Friday (March 20).

The 15-track project, boosted by singles Heartless, Blinding Lights and In Your Eyes, has been getting rave reviews from fans across the world who see the album as The Weeknd returning to darker, more emotional music.
