After years of dominating the music industry, The Weeknd has finally released Hurry Up Tomorrow, the last album in what he calls a trilogy following After Hours and Dawn Fm. Fans were excited but also a little nervous. Would the album live up to the hype, or fall flat? Now that it’s here, one thing is clear: The Weeknd isn’t leaving without making a statement.

The album features 22 tracks and a wide mix of sounds, blending his signature dark R&B style with electronic beats, synth-pop, and even some alternative elements. It’s a well developed album with a nice change of sound throughout and is packed with emotional depth and cinematic storytelling. With the album being 22 tracks long it feels a bit long at times but it still manages to deliver plenty of standout moments.

The Weeknd isn’t alone on this project, he brought in some heavy hitters. Lana Del Rey, Travis Scott, Playboi, Future, Florence and the Machine, and Anitta all make appearances, each adding their own unique style to the mix. Each Feature that appeared on the album really adds to the overall feel of the album and none of them fall short in their part.

One of the most interesting things about Hurry Up Tomorrow is how personal it feels. Instead of focusing on fame and success like he did in previous albums, The Weeknd explores self-reflection, regret, and moving on. In an interview, he admitted that his album is about being more open about his personal struggles, he shows that throughout the album, he speaks out on past problems that are resurfacing and touches on his relationship with his father.

Overall, Hurry Up Tomorrow is an ambitious and emotional album that might take a few listens to fully appreciate. It’s not perfect, some songs feel a little too experimental, but The Weeknd made sure to go out with a bang. If this really is the end of his career, he’s leaving on his own terms. I will definitely be listening to this album for years to come, and as a The Weeknd fan myself, I’ll rate this album a very solid 10/10.
