“Hurry Up Tomorrow” is The Weeknd’s sixth and last studio album by his persona “The Weeknd,” and it is the perfect send off.
The Weeknd, Abel Makkonen Tesfay, has this perfect way of making each of his albums feel grand; “Hurry Up Tomorrow” is no different.
Normally, an album with a whopping 22 tracks would have been a turn-off, but due to the length and aesthetic of the album, it made it feel like the music equivalent of a best picture.
Thematically, the album is great with the opening track reminiscing the legacy Tesfay created with his Weeknd persona. The album has a vibe similar to if you are driving in a vaporwave world with its 1980s inspired electric synths and thumping drums.
The multiple surprise features were the best parts of the album with each of them coming in and adding a special flair and twist to each song.
Some stand out tracks on the album are “São Paulo” featuring Anitta, “Timeless” featuring Playboi Carti, “Enjoy The Show” featuring Future, “Reflections Laughing” featuring Travis Scott & Florence + The Machine, “I Can’t Wait To Get There” and the title track “Hurry Up Tomorrow.”
“I Can’t Wait to Get There” is one of the best tracks off the album. It feels like a daydream with a bubbly vibe. Its silky smooth chorus is the best part of the song.
“São Paulo,” featuring Anitta, is a Brazilian funk inspired song. It was an instant hit for me as the hard hitting bass and synths ran through my ears. It’s a really fun song that gets you hyped up and would pair well with a club scene.
“Enjoy The Show,” featuring Future, was absolutely nothing short of spectacular and Future gave us verse of the year with him singing “I can’t feel my face anymore / I don’t wanna give you any space anymore / I don’t wanna feel like I’m alone anymore / I can’t live without you, I’ve been goin’ through withdrawals.”
“Hurry up Tomorrow” is a fun and jumpy album that puts me in another world. While there were good tracks, the amount of songs on the album made it feel dragged out.
Overall, I’d give it an 8/10 as it was a really solid album, and while not every song is perfect, it is the perfect send off of Able Tesfaye’s “The Weeknd” persona.
