It’s truly the end of an era. The superstar known as Abel Tesfaye has closed the final chapter of being The Weeknd with his latest album Hurry Up Tomorrow, which dropped Friday (Jan. 31) via XO and Republic Records.

The album was originally scheduled to arrive last Friday, Jan. 24, but he pushed it back due to the wildfire crisis in LA and has since donated $1 million to relief efforts. He also canceled his one-night-only album release stadium show at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena that was slated for Jan. 25.


Hurry Up Tomorrow serves as the third and final installment of his latest trilogy, following 2020’s After Hours and 2022’s Dawn FM. The LP was preceded by three singles: “Dancing in the Flames,” “Timeless” with Playboi Carti and “São Paulo” featuring Anitta. “Timeless” reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in October.

The Canadian-Ethiopian artist will also be making his feature film debut in the accompanying psychological thriller filmHurry Up Tomorrow, directed by Trey Edward Shults and also starring Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan. The Weeknd and his frequent collaborator Daniel Lopatin (also known as Oneohtrix Point Never) will score the movie, which Lionsgate will distribute in theaters worldwide on May 16.

It’s a poetic end to The Weeknd’s career, 14 years after it began: In 2011, he dropped three mixtapes — House of Balloons, Thursday and Echoes of Silence — that were eventually remastered and repackaged into his Trilogy compilation album, which his XO label and Republic Records released the following year.

Chappell Roan Claps Back at Criticism of Her Grammys Speech: ‘Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is’

The "Pink Pony Club" singer also took an opportunity to bring awareness to four artists who "deserve more love and a bigger platform."

After a former music executive criticized her speech calling for improved healthcare and pay for artists at the 2025 Grammys, Chappell Roan is clapping back and asking him to open his wallet for underpaid artists.

In a post to Instagram Stories early Friday morning (Feb. 7), Roan responded to Jeff Rabhan’s guest column published in The Hollywood Reporter, in which he called her speech “wildly misinformed.” Over a screenshot from the article, Roan directed her message straight to Rabhan, who is a former A&R executive who has worked at both Atlantic and Elektra Records.
