After teasing his project for over a year, The Weeknd has finally announced his upcoming new album “After Hours.”
We thought we were getting an album titled Chapter VI for months after Toronto artist had been toying with that idea but, alas, an album announcement has come by way of the superstar hitmaker and we will all be heading into After Hours territory.
With two new singles performing well, an album announcement was always in the cards for The Weeknd, who just came through by letting his fans know they could expect a full body of work soon. Sharing a trailer for the album on his social media pages, After Hours was announced as its title and, with no release date known to the public yet, your guess is as good as mine as to when it might be coming out. However, there have been rumors that it could come as soon as this weekend, with the artist’s birthday coming up on February 16.
