The world might be completely quarantined, but this whole ‘isolation’ thing gave
The Weeknd time to reflect on his past relationships, or should I say ONE specific relationship
as Bella Hadid has apparently influenced every single song on his new album, and fans have
some thoughts…
What’s up guys, it’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News, and don’t worry, Clevver
isn’t going anywhere!
We are still going to be delivering you all the celebrity news that you need to know,
we are just going to be working from home to do our part in preventing the spread of
Coronavirus.
Alright, now let's get into this news about The Weeknd, Selena Gomez, and Bella Hadid…
Because hours after The Weeknd’s new After Hours album released, his fan base went WILD
over the fact that his relationship with Bella Hadid must’ve hit a little different considering
Selena Gomez seemed to only have one song dedicated to her.
Fans are describing the 14-track album as a little dark, raw, and an emotional punch
straight in the feels, but others claim that Abel might as well have named the album ‘Bella’
because each track contains a reference to his relationship with Bella.
His song “Save Your Tears,” on the other hand, touches on the “impact” that Bella
and a second ex had on him.
The track reveals his longing for Bella after regretting breaking her heart the way that
a certain “someone else” broke his.
Many are relating the song back to one instance from 2019 after the two broke up and ran into
each other at a nightclub where Bella noticeably walked out just minutes after he arrived.
He also acknowledges the fact that Bella doesn’t seem to be giving him the time of day following
their first breakup as it's been rumored the two are trying to work through things and
reconcile their relationship.
So let’s get one thing straight here: It’s not physically possible for The Weeknd to
put out anything less than a straight up masterpiece, but fans can’t quite contain the emotional
rollercoaster they’ve been put on and really didn’t even sign up for.
Throughout the album, Abel drops some massive bombs on fans with lyrics referencing his
continued longing for an ex, having sex in the studio, bringing out emotions that had
been bottled up, but it seems to be a no-brainer that all signs are pointing straight to Bella.
In the title track “After Hours,” Abel dives deep into some major regret he experienced
in his time without Bella, as the lyrics read, “’Cause my heart belongs to you, I’ll
risk it all for you / I won’t just leave / This time, I’ll never leave / I wanna
share babies, protection we won’t need.”
So before I get into what fans have to say about the album, I’m curious to hear if
you guys were able to listen to last night’s release, and if you think the majority of
the songs really are about Bella.
Let me know which songs you think are dead giveaways down here in the comments and hang
tight because The Weeknd fans have some serious thoughts.
It’s no question the album will be on repeat throughout the remainder of the quarantine,
but one question some Selena Gomez fans have is what on earth does Bella have that Selena
doesn’t?
One user took to Twitter and said, “If you think any of the #AfterHours songs are about
Selena Gomez then you’re fucking on drugs bc this is a Bella Hadid album SHE ISNT FUCKING
WORTHY”
OK WHO HURT YOU?!
I just have to point out that comparing Selena to Bella is like comparing apples to oranges…
they are completely different people, and there’s nothing wrong with that but some
responses gotta cool it with the shade…
Speaking of which, others are thanking Selena Gomez for coming into his life, but for the
sole purpose of creating the best music.
One user tweeted, “Gotta thank Selena Gomez for giving us back The Weeknd.
Nothing but bangers since she been gone.
I knew she was the problem.”
Then we have the fans who are praising Bella for whatever spell she put on Abel that caused
him to write such gut-wrenching bangers, like this fan, who said, “BELLA HADID YOU REALLY
MAKE THIS MAN WRITE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE MY QUEEN.”
‘Bella Hadid’ became the No. 1 trend on Twitter overnight, and the effect Abel’s
lyrics had on fans was so powerful that it had some saying, “Abel got me missing Bella
Hadid and I’ve never even met her.”
Others were pretty set on the fact that this is BELLA HADID we’re talking about here
and it’s really no question why he’d write about her.
Another shared a series of Bella’s most stunning photos with the caption, “yea if
i were abel id write 14 tracks about bella hadid too...i just know her shit hits different.”
Annnnd this next tweet might be my favorite of all the Bella tweets, because there were
a select few who saw Bella’s name trending and immediately related it to everything else
going on in the world that’s also trending.
One user might’ve suffered a minor stroke, writing, “oh my god i saw bella hadid trending
and i deadass thot she got the f***ing virus”
What a world we live in today.
So if you did happen to tune into After Hours, you’ve definitely heard from Abel, and now
you’ve heard from the fans.
But I wanna hear what you guys think about his new album.
Do we really have Bella to thank for this new Quarantine material, and do you think
there’s a possibility of these two reconciling in the near future?
