- November 28, 2024
AceShowbiz - The Weeknd, the enigmatic Canadian singer, has announced the release of his sixth studio album, "Hurry Up Tomorrow". The album, which is scheduled to drop on January 24, 2025, will be the final installment in his latest trilogy, following "After Hours" (2020) and "Dawn FM" (2022).
The announcement comes after The Weeknd shared three singles from the upcoming album, "Dancing In The Flames," "Timeless" featuring Playboi Carti, and "Sao Paulo" featuring Anitta. These singles have been well-received by fans, with "Timeless" reaching number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.
In addition to the album, The Weeknd will also release a feature film titled "[n=Hurry Up Tomorrow]", which he will star in alongside Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan. The film, directed by Trey Edward Shults, will be scored by The Weeknd and his frequent collaborator Daniel Lopatin.
However, in a significant development, The Weeknd has revealed that "Hurry Up Tomorrow" will be his last album under his stage name. In an interview with W Magazine last year, he announced that he is ready to "kill The Weeknd" and embark on a new chapter in his career, possibly under his real name, Abel Tesfaye.
This announcement marks a turning point for The Weeknd, who has become one of the most successful and influential artists in the world. His decision to shed his stage name suggests a desire to break free from the boundaries he has created and explore new artistic directions.
