The Weeknd Unveils ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’: A Climactic Chapter in His Musical Evolution
Canadian R&B titan The Weeknd has officially dropped his latest album, Hurry Up Tomorrow (XO/Republic), marking what could be the final chapter of his acclaimed trilogy that began with After Hours (2020) and continued with Dawn FM (2022). This release arrives amid speculation that Abel Tesfaye may soon be stepping away from his The Weeknd persona—an idea he has subtly teased in recent interviews.
Originally set for release on January 24, Hurry Up Tomorrow was delayed as a gesture of respect for those impacted by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. The unfortunate circumstances also led to the cancellation of what was meant to be a grand album-release event at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
The project features an eclectic mix of collaborations, showcasing The Weeknd’s ability to seamlessly blend genres and eras. Guest appearances include Playboi Carti, Anitta, Lana Del Rey, Future, Travis Scott, Florence and the Machine, Justice, and Giorgio Moroder—a lineup that bridges electronic, R&B, and alternative influences. While early singles like “Timeless” and “São Paulo” made the cut, the previously teased “Dancing in the Flames” is noticeably absent from the tracklist.
As The Weeknd continues to evolve, Hurry Up Tomorrow may serve as both a culmination and a transition, leaving fans wondering what’s next for one of music’s most enigmatic and boundary-pushing artists.
