The Weeknd is probably the only thing fans of the musician are looking forward to this weekend. The Canadian star is 24 hours away from releasing his album After Hours and we’ve got the scoop on all the production and composer credits.
The Weeknd on the verge of releasing new album
The Weeknd will be encouraged by the fact that he is the only high-profile artist on the cards to drop new music on Friday 20 March.
This is the 30-year-old’s fourth studio album in a career that has seen the Starboy grow to become one of the most prominent pop stars in modern music.
After Hours is a 14-track LP that will feature chart-toppers like Blinding Lights and Heartless. The official tracklist he released on social media this week showed no guest appearances.
