On the Toronto singer’s new album, ‘After Hours,’ we’re teased with information about ‘futuristic sex’
has them all, and doesn’t bother to upend the meticulous mythos the pop star has spent a decade manufacturing. Instead, the Toronto singer’s fourth studio album swaps out one sonic texture — the bleak, Daft Punk-led futurism of 2016’s— for the sinister celestial work of Oneohtrix Point Never, while doubling down on what the Weeknd knows best: sex puns.
On the second verse of the aptly-named, “Snowchild,” the Weeknd sings: “She like my futuristic sounds in the new spaceship/Futuristic sex give her Philip K. dick.” For those who need clarification, Philip K. Dick was a science-fiction writer who most famously wroteBlade RunnerOver the past decade, the Weeknd has fashioned himself as our time’s great sexual savant, so it makes a certain amount of sense that he’d like to introduce the world to “futuristic sex” to accompany his “futuristic sound.
The following line, “She never need a man, she what a man need,” hints that he’s possibly speaking of a world where men are useless when it comes to carnal pleasures. But it seems like we’re already living in that reality. Hopefully, on the next album, we’ll hear more about what sex will be like in the future and we too can all share in some “Philip K.” dick — if there is one.

You Can't Do Anything But Love This New Weeknd Song to PiecesSorry to say yes: The Weeknd, “Hardest to Love” - Look, we’re all in this together, which means giving people more consideration than you otherwise might under normal circumstances. So I sampled the Weeknd’s new album After Hours this morning and landed on its third track, “Hardest to Love,” a dulcet slice of pop-jungle that probably would have taken the U.K. by storm in the mid-’90s. Let Abel Tesfaye’s bittersweet crooning over frenetic breaks whisk you back to a time of shiny low rise pants and plastic wraparounds with painted silver frames. This reminds me a little of the gentle drum ’n bass that Everything but the Girl dabbled with on Walking Wounded. How could I do anything with this but love it to pieces? —Rich Juzwiak
