Abel sums it up poetically with: вЂњAnd if IвЂ…held you back, at least IвЂ…held you close (Yeah),вЂќ emphasizing how he prevented her from moving on and doing better things but claiming he was always there for her even at the end. He was clingy and desperate to always be in proximity to them. He explains his problems of being a toxic partner to the women he was with, even when he saw issues popping up. One of the best tracks, вЂњScared to Live,вЂќ gives the album the best introduction to AbelвЂ™s struggle as he recognizes the harm he has done to women in his life. His personal and heartfelt lyrics that grace each track diverge from his earliest works. This 14-track project is a heart-breaking, drug-filled journey of cathartic uneasiness where nostalgia meets accountability. вЂњAfter HoursвЂќ is not a mashup of songs, but a concept album where Abel takes responsibility for his mistakes in past relationships while holding back his selfish toxic traits. An electrifying album, вЂњAfter HoursвЂќ could sonically fit in a variety of decades as it races to capture our attention from the eerie mix of вЂњAlone AgainвЂќ to the pop of вЂњHeartless.вЂќ This truly is an album exhibiting the creative and influential genius of Abel. The future blending together is a new sound for Abel, aka The WeekndвЂ™s newest album вЂњAfter Hours.вЂќ His silky voice over the вЂ™80s synth beats provides a pop style of upbeat sounds and grooves that keep listeners feet-tapping and head-bobbing. Her third, IвЂ™m Your Baby Tonight (1991), was passed over, but her next album, the mega-selling soundtrack to The Bodyguard (1993), won the award.A journey of reconciling with love and doubt blends with a blast from the past with вЂ™80s beats. The superstarвЂ™s first two solo albums, Whitney Houston (1985) and Whitney (1987), were nominated for album of the year. Songs from The Capeman probably shouldnвЂ™t count against SimonвЂ™s streak: The album consisted of his performances of songs from the ill-fated Broadway musical for which he composed the music and collaborated on the lyrics and book.

Simon won album of the year for Graceland (1986) was nominated for The Rhythm of the Saints (1991) and was passed over for Songs From The Capeman (1998) before returning to the nominations fold with YouвЂ™re the One (2000). Though Rattle and Hum was passed over in the top category, it was nominated for best rock performance by a duo or group with vocal. The Irish band won album of the year for The Joshua Tree (1987) was passed over for the Rattle and Hum soundtrack (1989) but was nominated for its next regular studio album, Achtung Baby! (1992). Why Taylor Swift's 'Speak Now' Is Her Best Album (Though Unorthodox Jukebox was passed over in the top category, it won for best pop vocal album.) The pop star was nominated for album of the year for his debut, Doo-Wops & Hooligans (2011) was passed over for his sophomore album Unorthodox Jukebox (2013) and then won for his third outing, 24K Magic (2017). Note: The years shown throughout are the Grammy years in which the albums competed, not necessarily in which the albums were released.Д«runo Mars. These are cases where just one album in a sequence of albums, for whatever reason, didnвЂ™t hit the mark. There have been many cases where an artist made it back to the album of the year finals after multiple albums fell short, but those felt more like Grammy comebacks. Since 1980, this scenario has played out 10 times - where an artist regained their Grammy mojo after one album interrupted their streak of consecutive album of the year nominations. ItвЂ™s starting to look like The Weeknd will make it back to Grammy glory. The Weeknd's 'After Hours' Could Spend Second Week at No.
