Hurry Up Tomorrow, released on January 31, marks the Weeknd’s last studio album. Fortunately, it is rumored that The Weeknd may continue to produce music under his real name: Abel Tesfaye. As the Weeknd concluded his After Hours til Dawn Tour, fans anticipated the release of the album. His last album, Dawn FM, released on January 22, 2022, was the 15th best selling album of that year according to Hits. Songs like “Less Than Zero” and “Out of Time” were global hits and attracted more fans worldwide. Fans expected Hurry Up Tomorrow to also feature new popular tracks similar to both his newer and older music style.
Along with the release of Hurry Up Tomorrow, The Weeknd has also announced his latest tour for 2025. His tour will start May 9 and will end September 3. From major cities like Houston to Toronto, a plethora of fans from across the country will be able to see him. In addition, Playboi Carti (featured on “Timeless”) and Mike Dean will also accompany The Weeknd while on tour–except for his Los Angeles show dates. Presale for tickets starts February 5 and general admission starts February 7. It is expected that like many of his other tours, tickets will sell out extremely fast.
As a long time fan of the Weeknd, I especially have been looking forward to the release of this album. After listening to the album, I can confidently say that the album was simply beautiful. Currently, my favorite songs on the album are “The Abyss” and “Reflections Laughing” because of the emotional lyrics, melodic tune, and angelic vocals. Not to mention, the feature of Travis Scott on “Reflections Laughing” made it 10 times better. Since there were no skips on the album, I did not have a least favorite song on the album. Each song was extremely unique and the transitions between them were flawless. Overall, I believe that Hurry Up Tomorrow is the best album to conclude the Weeknd’s saga. The album features many songs alluding to heaven and purifying sins, which is a direct contrast to his much older music. Hence, making it the perfect end to his albums because it shows growth overtime and reflection on past events/actions. I would rate the album a 9.75/10 because it is almost perfection (also because I am biased and believe After Hours is a 10/10). Fun fact, the last song in the album, “Hurry Up Tomorrow,” seamlessly transitions into the song “High For This,” which is the first song on his first ever released album (House Of Balloons). Below is my current ranking of the songs (subject to change probably within the next week of writing this):
“Reflections Laughing”
“The Abyss”
“Hurry Up Tomorrow”
“Take me back to LA”
“Baptized In Fear”
“Drive”
“Cry For Me”
“Red Terror”
“Timeless”
“Without Warning”
“Niagara Falls”
“Give Me Mercy”
“Given Up On Me”
“Open Hearts”
“Wake Me Up”
“I Can’t Wait To Get There”
“Enjoy The Show”
“Big Sleep”
“São Paulo”
“Opening Night” (interlude)
“Until We’re Skin & Bones” (transition)
“I Can’t F****** Sing” (transition)
