After Hours
A cinematic descent into a neon-lit purgatory. Pulsing 80s synths meet haunted R&B vocals in a record that feels like a high-speed chase through a lonely city.

A blood-slicked, cinematic panic attack unfolds across this nocturnal odyssey, where the glittering excess of the strip curdles into a cold, existential crisis. The music masterfully fuses the propulsive, neon-hued pulse of 1980s synthwave with a murky, drug-addled vulnerability that recalls the singer's earliest underground work. It is a brilliant, terrifying portrait of isolation, capturing a high-speed chase through a beautiful nightmare where every stadium-sized hook is shadowed by self-loathing.
