The Weeknd has confirmed that his sixth studio album and the final in his ongoing trilogy will be titled, Hurry Up Tomorrow. It follows 2020's After Hours and 2022's Dawn FM. The Weeknd made the announcement on his Instagram page on Wednesday while sharing more details about the highly-anticipated project.
“Yesterday was fourteen years ago… We held our breath, falling into a shimmering sea in the after hours of the night. Attempted to cleanse the wounds with melodies and lights, a bulletproof bandage to shield what lies beneath...," he wrote in a video showing red text scrolling up the screen. "In a place where the seasons never changed, where time ceased to exist. But therein lays the problem. Today has felt like an endless spin. I keep distorting the truth, immune to the dizziness, numb to the nausea. What lies beneath — screams in silence... i look in the mirror and feel both old and new stuck in limbo and unable to move. I still haven’t faced myself… The very thing that once made me invincible failed me on the world stage. A new trauma surfaced. When today ends, I’ll discover who I am."
