The Weeknd: Hurry Up Tomorrow [XO/Republic]

With Hurry Up Tomorrow, the Weeknd shutters his trilogy that began with 2020’s After Hours and the subsequent Dawn FM, from 2022. The new album might also be the final release from Abel Tesfaye’s the Weeknd alter ego as we know it—or at least, that’s what Tesfaye has been hinting at in interviews. The release of Hurry Up Tomorrow, originally slated for a January 24, was postponed out of respect for those affected by the Los Angeles wildfires, which also factored into the Weeknd canceling his album-release concert at Pasadena’s Rose Bowl. Hurry Up Tomorrow includes the singles “Timeless” and “São Paulo,” but not “Dancing in the Flames.” Guests on the new album include Playboi Carti, Anitta, Lana Del Rey, Justice, Giorgio Moroder, Future, Florence and the Machine, and Travis Scott.
