“When I was recording “After Hours”, I realized I've made a skipless masterpiece, but I remembered I'm an independent powerful artist and kinda rebelled and added a skip.”
— The Weeknd on his song “Too Late” in an interview back in 2020

FYI if you’re listening on regular headphones or stereo speakers turn it off. It won’t sound good.
You NEED AirPods Max, AirPods (3rd Gen), AirPods Pro, an Atmos Soundbar or something similar to listen to this correctly.
If you’re on an iPhone you can also flip it horizontally and check it out that way!
