Which singer released the 2020 album After Hours, featuring "Blinding Lights"? The Weeknd released it.
After Hours is the fourth studio album by the Canadian singer-songwriter The Weeknd, released on March 20, 2020, by XO and Republic Records. Its standard edition contains no guest vocalists, putting the focus on his voice and on a tightly unified world of synth-pop, new wave, R&B, and dream-pop influences.
"Blinding Lights" became the album's defining hit and one of the biggest chart songs of its era. The album's other major singles were "Heartless," "In Your Eyes," and "Save Your Tears." Its visual campaign used a recurring red-suited character, cinematic violence, and themes of isolation, self-loathing, and escapism.
The Weeknd's stage name is stylized with a space and a capital W, while his birth name is Abel Tesfaye. That distinction sometimes causes confusion in quiz answers, but the artist credit and canonical answer are The Weeknd. After Hours debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
