The Weeknd has announced the title of his anticipated new album: Hurry Up Tomorrow.
The album will mark the third and final instalment of the Canadian star's "Nightmare Trilogy," which includes 2020's After Hours and 2022's Dawn FM.
On his socials, The Weeknd posted a video of Star Wars-esque scrolling text detailing the journey he has taken to reach this point.
“I look in the mirror and feel both old and new, stuck in limbo and unable to move," it reads. "I still haven’t faced myself. More songs could help, but what do I have left to say? Woe is me in my gilded cage, right?”
“The very thing that once made me invincible failed me on the world stage," it continues. "A new trauma surfaced, opening floodgates,” it continues. “A new path awaits. When today ends, I’ll discover who I am.”
In addition to the album's title, he revealed some actual details about the album, stating that it "represents the creative apex of the project, serving as the third and final chapter crafted with existential and self-referential themes as seen with the latest visionary teasers that have set fans ablaze with anticipation for this concluding installment.”
No release date has been revealed, however, The Weeknd will perform a sold-out concert at Estádio MorumBIS in São Paulo, Brazil this Saturday (September 7) that will be livestreamed via YouTube. Wouldn't it be great to drop an album in time for that?
The Weeknd is also set to perform at this year's iHeartRadio Music Festival over the weekend of September 20 and 21, joining Coldplay, A$AP Rocky, Dua Lipa, Hozier, Paramore, Doja Cat and more.
