The Weeknd Drops ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’ Album & Announces Acting Debut in Upcoming Thriller
The Weeknd Drops ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’ with Star-Studded Collaborations & Announces Acting Debut
After months of anticipation, The Weeknd has finally released his latest album, “Hurry Up Tomorrow”, marking the grand finale of his three-part musical saga that began with After Hours and continued with Dawn FM. The album, featuring 22 tracks, is packed with collaborations from some of the biggest names in music, making it one of his most ambitious projects to date.
This release has been a long time coming, especially after its initial delay due to the Los Angeles wildfires. Now that the album is finally here, fans can immerse themselves in its hypnotic melodies, deep lyrical themes, and cinematic production.
Why Was the Album Delayed?
Originally set for release on January 24, Hurry Up Tomorrow was postponed as The Weeknd chose to support wildfire relief efforts in Los Angeles. In a show of solidarity, he donated $1 million to aid those affected by the crisis and even canceled his planned album release show at the Rose Bowl on January 25.
Despite the delay, the anticipation only grew stronger, and now that the album has arrived, it has already made waves worldwide.
Global Release & Tracklist
The album officially dropped on January 31, 2025, and in India, it became available at 8:30 AM IST. Fans across the world have been eagerly streaming it, diving into its diverse soundscape.
Hurry Up Tomorrow includes some standout singles that had already gained traction before the full release. Songs like “Dancing In Flames”, “Timeless” (featuring Playboi Carti), and “São Paolo” (with Anitta) are already generating buzz.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there—the album boasts collaborations with heavyweights like:
- Lana Del Rey
- Travis Scott
- Future
- Playboi Carti
- Anitta
The production team behind Hurry Up Tomorrow is just as impressive, with industry legends like Max Martin, Pharrell Williams, and Mike Dean crafting the sound of the project. The 22-track album spans nearly 90 minutes, creating an immersive experience that blends The Weeknd’s signature dark pop and R&B elements with futuristic, cinematic production.
The Weeknd’s Acting Debut: ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’ Film
Beyond music, The Weeknd is set to make his acting debut in a psychological thriller film also titled Hurry Up Tomorrow. Directed by Trey Edward Shults, the movie stars Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan, alongside The Weeknd himself.
Not only is he starring in the film, but he’s also co-scoring it with his long-time music partner Daniel Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point Never). The film is slated for a May 16, 2025 theatrical release via Lionsgate, marking a major career milestone for the singer-turned-actor.
Final Thoughts
With the album’s powerful storytelling and star-studded lineup, combined with The Weeknd’s upcoming film debut, Hurry Up Tomorrow is shaping up to be one of the biggest entertainment events of 2025. Fans can now stream the album and prepare for what promises to be a thrilling cinematic experience later this year.
