Get ready, music lovers! The Weeknd has just dropped a bombshell about his upcoming album.
- The new album is titled ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’ and will complete The Weeknd’s trilogy.
- A cryptic video was posted online to announce the album’s name and theme.
- The artist hinted that this could be his final album as The Weeknd.
- A mysterious teaser video includes references to his earlier works and a new song snippet.
The Weeknd has upped the excitement ante yet again by revealing the title of his forthcoming album, ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow.’ He made this announcement through a dramatic and cryptic video shared on social media.
This new project will serve as the last chapter in a trilogy, following 2020’s ‘After Hours’ and 2022’s ‘Dawn FM.’ The video teaser provides a mysterious narrative that alludes to the themes explored in his previous albums.
The video opens with enigmatic prose: ‘Yesterday was 14 years ago… We held our breath, falling into a shimmering sea in the after hours of the night… Attempted to cleanse the wounds with melodies and lights, a bulletproof bandage to shield what lies beneath.’ This poetic entry sets a reflective and almost surreal tone for the album.
Further adding to the mystique, the narrative continues: ‘I look in the mirror and feel both old and new, stuck in limbo and unable to move. I still haven’t faced myself. More songs could help, but what do I have left to say? Woes is me in my gilded cage, right?’ This suggests an introspective journey and a sense of transformation.
Adding to the enigma, a CGI clip posted last month features a younger Weeknd, who follows a mysterious figure into an abandoned house. This teaser also includes a snippet of an unreleased song, likely from the new album.
The artist has previously hinted at retiring his stage name after this release. ‘I’m going through a cathartic path right now. It’s getting to a place and a time where I’m getting ready to close the Weeknd chapter,’ he shared in an interview. ‘I’ll still make music, maybe as Abel, maybe as The Weeknd. But I still want to kill The Weeknd. And I will. Eventually.’
The album, which currently has no release date, continues to build anticipation with each cryptic teaser released. Fans are eagerly waiting to see what The Weeknd has in store for ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow.’
Hold on to your headphones, because The Weeknd’s next album promises to be an intriguing ride.
