“Blinding Lights,” the second single and most popular song from the album, currently holds the fourth spot in the Billboard Top 100. Tesfaye started promoting the album in November 2019, releasing his first two singles, “Heartless” and “Blinding Lights,” two days apart. Tesfaye’s recent appearance in the Safdie brother’s film “Uncut Gems,” - playing himself as an up-and-coming performer in 2012, performing music from his earlier career - almost seems to foreshadow the return to his original sound. “After Hours” succeeds in blending the pop sounds of “Starboy” (2016) with the darker R&B sounds of his studio mixtape “Trilogy” (2012).
