Last night, The Weeknd gave his fans something they’ve been waiting for—a grand finale to his After Hours trilogy, and boy, did he not hold back. With the release of Hurry Up Tomorrow, this long-anticipated chapter not only features a star-studded lineup, including heavyweights like Travis Scott, Future, Playboi Carti, and Lana Del Rey, but it also resonates with a bittersweet vibe—think of it as a melodious goodbye note. I mean, how do you say farewell to one of the most iconic alter egos in music history? If you’re anything like the listeners flooding social media right now, you’re likely torn between the joy of new hits and the sting of letting go. It’s like having a last piece of cake—delicious, yet you can’t help but feel a little empty afterward! Reactions are rolling in, and they range from heartfelt to downright humorous. One fan even quipped, “Abel expecting us to just say goodbye to The Weeknd after putting out an album this f*cking good… you’re sick!” This isn’t just another album drop; it’s a moment soaked in reflection, anticipation for what’s next, and maybe just a little bit of heartbreak. But hey, that’s the beautiful chaos of music, right? Let’s dive into this musical farewell and what it means for The Weeknd and us, the fans, who’ve journeyed alongside him.
Last night, The Weeknd finally unleashed the third and final chapter of his After Hours trilogy, Hurry Up Tomorrow. The long awaited project boasts appearances from Travis Scott, Future, Playboi Carti, Lana Del Rey, and more. X is currently flooded with fans’ reactions to the album, and so far, it appears as though they’re impressed.
“Hurry Up Tomorrow really is the goodbye album to The Weeknd man.. and it’s all conveyed through revisiting the sounds and struggles that led him here, with glimpses of the future. All of the pain that got us here, and the pain of letting go. Goddamn you, Abel. What a conclusion,” one listener tweets. “Abel expecting us to just say goodbye to the weeknd after putting an album this f*cking good out… you’re sick,” another jokes.
Back in May of 2023, The Weeknd revealed that the project might be his last under his iconic stage name. “The album I’m working on now is probably my last hurrah as The Weeknd. This is something that I have to do. As The Weeknd, I’ve said everything I can say,” he told W Magazine at the time. “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. I’ll still make music, maybe as Abel, maybe as The Weeknd. But I still want to kill The Weeknd. And I will. Eventually. I’m definitely trying to shed that skin and be reborn.“
He echoed this sentiment in an interview with Variety earlier this month, making it clear that he’s no longer interested in living up to the high expections performing under the moniker entails. “It’s a headspace I’ve gotta get into that I just don’t have any more desire for,” he admitted. “I feel like it comes with so much.”
To celebrate the release of Hurry Up Tomorrow and the completion of his After Hours trilogy, The Weeknd also announced a slew of tour dates today. The tour is scheduled to kick off in May of this year and will also feature Playboi Carti. They’ll hit various cities including Chicago, Inglewood, Seattle, Toronto, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and more before closing the tour in September.
