And Heartless is produced by Metro Boomin and Illangelo. Illangelo is such a gem, he has also won Grammy. He produced and wrote songs like, The Hills, After hours, Wicked Games, The Zone, Acquainted, As you are, Crew Love, Faith, Prisoner, Pray for life, Tell your friends, Twenty Eight and many more. His career skyrocketed when he started working with abel. Their combination can't go wrong.
Bro Blinding Lights is constantly breaking records, it’s now the longest radio played song surpassing Iris, still on iTunes Charts competing with songs that dropped last month, and got 1.4B streams in 10 months
You finally got to hear this masterpiece!! Faith will get better with every listen. Alsoooo great news for you is that there are three bonus tracks you can listen to! Nothing compares, Missed you and Final lullaby.
Metro and Weeknd collabed on Futures ‘Low Life’ and Starboys ‘Six Feet Under’ before! On this tape Metro produced Escape From LA, Heartless, Faith and Until I Bleed Out
man you gotta see the lyrics while listening to this album next time, that's a whole lot of experience. And bro Escape form LA will grow on you so freakin amazingly. Great reaction, man. Loved your energy too. Keep up the good work buddy. XOTWOD
"But if I OD I want u to OD right beside me" was the best line from the whole album and trust me faith will grow on u with more listens loved the reaction. just subbed!
Blinding lights is breaking serious records, records held for more than 20 30 years. Surprised you didn’t hear it till now. If you listen to the radio it’s still overplayed almost a year after it’s release. It’s crazy it’s still in the top 5 of billboard Apple Music Spotify .....
Yeah the numbers are insane 🙌🏼 I’ve had this conversation with others in the comments. I never listen to the radio and I honestly hadn’t heard it until I did this reaction 🙌🏼
I wouldn't check out the noise ep on a reaction. He never approved or wanted those tracks released, it was leaked by someone. They really just got some of his very old stuff before his first mixtape (House of Balloons) and randomly put it together.
After Hours is his absolute best produced album and if I was a new fan I might even consider it his best. That being said I grew up on Trilogy and Kiss Land and they’ll always be 1 and 2 in my eyes
Do you remember what I told about the track After Hours? I had a feeling that would be the one that you would really especially once I saw your reaction on the short film. Faith is a classic tho for us OG fans. Listen to it a few more times and pay attention to how heartless faith & Blinding lights all tie in. Also remember I said this album is one of those albums that just get better with every listen. I still stand by what I suggested before in doing a review of the album in a few weeks! Dope reaction as always bro 💪🏽🙌🏽
For a little more context: "'Blinding Lights' [is about] how you want to see someone at night, and you’re intoxicated, and you’re driving to this person and you’re just blinded by streetlights," he explains in the profile. "But nothing could stop you from trying to go see that person, because you’re so lonely. I don’t want to ever promote drunk driving, but that’s what the dark undertone is.”
The first song Alone Again, you said its too drawn out. My guy, hes always done that. He takes his time with his songs and hes not afraid to draw it out especially in the intro. He has structure to his songs and not every song is too long but the ones that are seven eight minutes by him, he switches it up. You gotta remember that about him. Even on Trilogy, he was like that and always will be. Hes always had complex imdustrial sounds in his music. Hes been like that since 2011 when he started out.
At 17:26 in Escape from LA there's a really dope cross rhythm with the hi hats which is why it sounds so cool. It happens when you play a group triplets against a group of duplets, caught me waaay off guard when I first heard it haha
Every time he said this album sounds futuristic that line from snowchild kept replaying in my head “she like my futuristic sound in my new spaceship” 🖤
The 80s pop run in Blinding Lights to Save Your Tears is either people’s favourite or least favourite lmaoo, the last 3 bring it back to that classic (but evolved) Abel though! respect the fact that you state when you dont vibe with it though
Broo after you're done the "After Hours " saga ! You gotta check "Pray for me " the weeknd ft kendrick Lamar 🔥🔥 you gonna loce it for sure .. and also " Wake up " the weeknd ft Travis scott The XO crew got your back 😉
CharlieChecksIt I hope you go crazy and enjoy this album as much as I did... Although it got even better when I listened to the songs again and again (The Weekend Experience says 100h+ and I am top 1% of his listeners on Spotify 😅)... Music/production and lyrics are both fireeee😍 Great channel btw and greetings from Germany! :)
I know it’s overplayed, but it hits different to me…by far my favorite song of his. And I have admired him since Wicked Games. Blinding Lights makes you want to mindlessly dance, each and every time. Regardless of what the lyrics mean. ❤️Genius.❤️Legend🙏🏾

Facts..
i thought kanye and mike dean did tell your friends
@@travistravis8463 Kanye made the vocals mix.
Correction : DeHeala produced Acquainted
Yeah, what’s his secret? Such a genius
Bro Blinding Lights is constantly breaking records, it’s now the longest radio played song surpassing Iris, still on iTunes Charts competing with songs that dropped last month, and got 1.4B streams in 10 months
Insane 😳
@@CharlieChecksIt it's actually not that good got alot of people on the first listen, but it gets way way better, just like in your eyes
Now abel surpassed micheal jackson with blinding lights being the most streamed male song and second most of all time
You finally got to hear this masterpiece!!
Faith will get better with every listen.
Alsoooo great news for you is that there are three bonus tracks you can listen to! Nothing compares, Missed you and Final lullaby.
Indeed! Yeah I’m gonna do a separate video for those three soon! 🙌🏼
CharlieChecksIt Excited! 🤩
Blinding lights also grows on you and that’s why is his best song
@@user-xb1ls7pv6e wouldn’t say best but it’s super good
After hours is an album where you need to listen to the album at least 3 times to hear the depth of it.......
Agreed 🙌🏼
After hours (the track) is goated
For sure 🙌🏼
best track on there with save your tears imo
my favs at least
Metro and Weeknd collabed on Futures ‘Low Life’ and Starboys ‘Six Feet Under’ before! On this tape Metro produced Escape From LA, Heartless, Faith and Until I Bleed Out
Didn’t he do snowchild to?
LETS GET THE DELUXE ALBUM REACTION OF AFTER HOURS
man you gotta see the lyrics while listening to this album next time, that's a whole lot of experience. And bro Escape form LA will grow on you so freakin amazingly. Great reaction, man. Loved your energy too. Keep up the good work buddy. XOTWOD
Yeah I will when I listen to it in my spare time 🙌🏼 Thanks bro!
@kushagra tripathi u from India bro?
Escape from LA has grown to be one of my favorites off of the Album it's so addicting! 😍
@@karminlemery1933 She closed the door and then she locked it….
React to the Deluxe Tracks.
Nothing Compares to Nothing Compares
Doing a separate video to them shortly ! 🙌🏼
This album is INSANE
Indeed! 🙌🏼
Abel probably won't drop another album for another year and a half but who knows hopefully it's before that
Ah okay well yeah hopefully! 🙌🏼
I hope it's another cool cinematic/theme. Can't wait to see
He can pull a melancholy and give us a album with short songs next year
Year? It's gonna be another decade before he comes back again
I’d rather have him take his time and release an amazing album like this unlike a rushed and poor executed album
"But if I OD I want u to OD right beside me" was the best line from the whole album and trust me faith will grow on u with more listens loved the reaction. just subbed!
Gives me goosebumps but is also the reason I can't fuck with girls that are heavy on the drugs because I don't want to get dragged down with them
@@quavoratatouille401 do whatever makes u peaceful man besides even if u decide to OD now at least u will do it in style thanks to Abel😁
@@elegantgoof7480 I'm good lmao. I'll just stick to weed and psychedelics😂
@@quavoratatouille401 that still some bad stuff. Love the name tho Quavo and Migos🔥
This channel is going to be big one day, the quality of the reaction and your personality is crazy. Welcome to the XO fam
I appreciate that a lot 🙌🏼 thank you!
It makes me so happy when you call him Abel it makes me feel like you’re hardcore xo
Aha yeah it feels right 😂🙌🏼
Love this album so much, one of my fav albums that I've reacted to straight up🔥🔥🔥
Holy damn! Can’t wait
🐐
My favorite song on the album is Too Late
I love how after multiple listens you realize after hours is a story and you’ll realize that after you watch the music vids
Save Your Tears is a pop masterpiece!
This is your best reaction video yet ngllll
Ayy I appreciate that 🙌🏼
This album is the most vulnerable and personal he’s been with us which is why it’s 🙌🏼🔥

I love watching you listen to him. A second listen, with the lyrics, and you will see why this is an ❌⭕ favorite. It's a masterpiece ❌⭕

I love Too Late and Alone Again… the album grabs you from the beginning…never lets go!! XO💕
So Good!! Thanks. Can't wait for the bonus tracks. Would be cool if you did them live.

@@CharlieChecksIt make sure you watch them in the right order 😂 also they sort of shed some light on why he has a broken nose
Matt I will 😂
CharlieChecksIt ‘In Your Eyes’ is the sequel to the short film
He has 3 bonus tracks which you need to react to. Nothing compares, missed you and final lullaby. Make sure ymto react to those
If u watch the in your eyes video it picks up from where the short film left off
For a little more context: "'Blinding Lights' [is about] how you want to see someone at night, and you’re intoxicated, and you’re driving to this person and you’re just blinded by streetlights," he explains in the profile. "But nothing could stop you from trying to go see that person, because you’re so lonely. I don’t want to ever promote drunk driving, but that’s what the dark undertone is.”
Thank you! 🙌🏼
