Music: Angel by The Weeknd

The Weeknd’s "Angel" from Beauty Behind The Madness is one of the album’s most haunting yet tender tracks, offering a stark contrast to its darker themes. Released in 2015 as the fourteenth and final song on the project, the track blends melancholic piano-driven melody with introspective lyrics, showcasing the artist’s ability to craft emotional depth. Its genre sits comfortably between R&B and alternative, with a slow-burning intensity that lingers long after the last note fades.

The song’s raw vulnerability shines through in lines that speak to self-reflection and resilience, making it a standout moment on an already powerful album. While it doesn’t carry the same commercial weight as some of Beauty Behind The Madness’ other hits, "Angel" has earned a devoted following for its authenticity. Fans often highlight its ability to evoke a quiet, introspective mood—perfect for those who appreciate the Weeknd’s more introspective side.

Though not as widely discussed as other tracks from the album, "Angel" remains a fan favorite for its emotional resonance. Its place at the end of Beauty Behind The Madness feels like a fitting closure, wrapping up a collection of songs that explore both beauty and struggle. For listeners who connect with its poetic honesty, it’s a reminder of why The Weeknd’s music continues to resonate deeply.
