About The Weeknd's After Hours

The Weeknd has always managed to keep his fans happy through his visual storytelling techniques. He started his visual storytelling with False Alarm, in which he robs a bank and shows the whole scene through his perspective. He then proceeded to make The Hills, in which he survives a car accident, and his Starboy video shows how he killed by asphyxiation from a plastic bag. With the Heartless video, he starts a new life in the universe created by him. His recent videos are apparently symbolic of his problems and what he is going through currently. Well, only his songs can now explain the real meaning behind his short film which is releasing on March 20, 2020.
