Okay...I usually refrain myself from double posting (it is against the forum's rules, after all), but this appeared on my recommended on YouTube, and there's no way I wouldn't share it.
This was released today from The Weeknd's official channel. I know "After Hours" is having its first anniversary tomorrow, so could this be a teaser for something?
It has a very demo quality to it, but I'm currently addicted - so atmospheric!
Edit: Turns out it's a previously unreleased track - "Hold Your Heart", that has been uploaded to his official channel by a hacker. 😔

Any info on what's happening after Save Your Tears? Any chance they resend In Your Eyes to radio?

They should go with Hardest To Love, the remaining song with the most potential to be a hit.

^ I feel like Nothing Compares could work as well. Since it is basically the Die For You of the album, having a proper rollout for the former would basically give justice to the latter, and then some of us wouldn’t feel so bad that DFY did underperform in the US.

I doubt the general masses will hear this anytime soon:

I mentioned this on the current Chart Discussion thread, and I'll repeat it here - I don't see what The Weeknd gains from engaging in this. It feels counterintuitive for any artist to auction new music for a few rich bidders instead of making it instantly available for the masses, and he's already extremely wealthy anyway. NFT just seems like a pointless and greedy system to me, and adding to the environmental damage it allegedly causes, I really wish he wasn't doing this.
Oh well...I just hope him, Halsey, and Post Malone doing this won't encourage other high-profile stars to follow suit. That would be even more disappointed, but not unexpected, sadly.

Well, they'll flop and go back to streaming. No one will pay big amounts of money to music, especially streaming generation.

Also "Save Your Tears" definitely had the best performances this era:

Starting to accept that "Hardest To Love" and "After Hours" will only be getting live performances on tour. 😔
On a brighter note, though, he killed it last night, and it's so great to see such a behemoth of an era being rightfully recognized. Looking forward to what he's planning to offer next!

He gave a great performance at BBMAs. I was so nervous watching it, so many things could've gone wrong.

Since it's the end of the "After Hours" era (officially), I just wanted to put together his every performance during this iconic era.

His „Faith“ performance really did the song justice. Also I listened to a few songs with Dolby Atmos today and it was incredible, for the most part. Escape From LA and Faith were outstanding, also Privilege. But something was off with Snowchild, it sounded kinda washed out.
