The Weeknd - Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025)
"Hurry Up Tomorrow" has received mixed reviews from critics. Stereogum notes that while the album contains sleek, chrome-plated hooks characteristic of The Weeknd's hits, it also ventures into explorations of other genres, including classic R&B, straight pop, acoustic guitars, and fast beats. However, they mention that the album feels "a little too bloated and repetitive" to serve as The Weeknd's definitive statement. On the other hand, a review on Medium praises the album, stating, "I don't think there was a better way for Abel to say goodbye to The Weeknd than this," and rates it a strong 9.5 out of 10. Pitchfork highlights the track "Hurry Up Tomorrow" as an ethereal, gospel-tinged ballad that sees the singer lamenting his life of sin, marking a departure from the macabre tones of previous works. Overall, "Hurry Up Tomorrow" is seen as an ambitious project that pushes The Weeknd's musical boundaries, though opinions vary on its execution and cohesiveness.
