A recent interview with Billboard Brazil has provided new insights into The Weeknd’s upcoming show in São Paulo, his strong connection with his Brazilian fans, mental health, and more. One of the most exciting revelations was about his next album, Hurry Up Tomorrow. This album will not only complete his 2020s trilogy, following After Hours and Dawn FM, but also marks the retirement of The Weeknd as a creative persona, with this album serving as a final farewell. With anticipation building around the release, fans are eagerly grasping onto any hint or detail.
One major highlight from the interview is that Hurry Up Tomorrow has a “central song,” which The Weeknd reportedly refers to as “Frankenstein” due to its unique blend of sounds while staying true to the album’s essence. This song, or possibly the entire album, was inspired during his last concert visit to São Paulo in October. Since then, he has released several collaborations and hinted at more, including another potential link-up with Playboi Carti, further amplifying fan excitement.
In the interview, The Weeknd also opened up about the mindset behind the creation of Hurry Up Tomorrow. “There’s always pressure to outdo my last project,” he said. “Growth is key. People might not always resonate with what I’m doing in the moment, but when the whole body of work is revealed, I hope they can understand my vision. I’ve been working on this discography for a long time, and it’s all been part of a plan.”
The artist also touched on his comments about facing “the abyss” after announcing this year’s Brazil visit. “It can mean a lot of things,” he noted. “For me, it’s something very personal. I’ve faced it for a long time and often overcome it, but it’s a constant battle. I hope my music can help others confront and overcome their own abyss as well.” All signs suggest that Hurry Up Tomorrow will be a cathartic, deeply emotional, and creatively powerful project. We’ll take ten copies!
