After Dark is a studio album by Ray Parker Jr., released in 1987 on Geffen Records. The album represents Parker’s late‑1980s shift toward slick R&B, funk, and adult contemporary pop, following his earlier mainstream success in the mid‑1980s.
Musically, the record blends polished drum programming, synth textures, and smooth guitar work with Parker’s trademark melodic sensibility. Tracks such as I Don’t Think That Man Should Sleep Alone, Over You, and You Coulda Kept a Brother reflect the era’s radio‑friendly R&B sound, aimed at late‑night and crossover audiences.
