Generally, he does so by drawing inspiration from the ecstatic pop of the 1980s, particularly Michael Jackson, a clear vocal influence.

It sounds like a voice that’s been inscribed into history, and is being resuscitated in order to rouse the masses. The Weeknd’s commitment to his bit can feel impersonal at times, especially when the amount of effects layered on his voice make him sound like he’s singing from just outside the studio walls, or from the deep beyond. For the Weeknd, being broken is a kind of thrill, in a way that being thrilled never could be. “After Hours,” his rousing fourth studio album, is laden with sparkled trauma, kaleidoscopic emotional confusion, urgent and panting physical release paired with failed-state romantic dyspepsia. When the Weeknd began working with the hitmaker Max Martin, on the 2013 singles that would rocket him from cult leader to mainstream superstar, it took some balancing to maintain the fetid streak of misbehavior at his core while his music was becoming alarmingly shiny.īut that balance is old hat now. No current pop star is more invested in the idea of pop’s majesty, its iridescent gloom, its exultant relief. Even the poppiest stars of the day tend to filter their ambition through reluctance, which leaves a clear path for the Weeknd, an unlikely preservationist of mega-pop’s grand ambitions. A landing place for any number of likely and unlikely approaches more than a big flashing-red target, the way it was two or four decades ago. While this isn't a "Greatest Hits" album, it does provide a new listener a rich foray into some of the iconic artist's best and favorite work.Pop music - what’s left of it anyway - is a hodgepodge of styles and moods.
