R&B and Pop superstar The Weeknd, born Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, has revealed the title of his forthcoming studio album “Hurry Up Tomorrow”. The much-awaited record, which serves as the final act of his album trilogy traversing two previously released blockbuster records “After Hours” and “Dawn FM”, was first confirmed in January this year.
The “Popular” singer made the flagrant announcement alongside a trailer with self-questioning statements.
“Today has felt like an endless spin,” the trailer reads. “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… more songs could help, but what do I have left to say? Woe is me in my gilded cage, right?” The Weeknd adds.
“The very thing that once made me invincible failed me on the world stage. A new trauma surfaced, opening floodgates. A new path awaits. When today ends, I’ll discover who I am.”

The Weeknd is further set to perform in Sao Polo, Brazil this Saturday.
As per Variety, “The Weeknd will donate 10% of net proceeds from all merchandise sales at the event and online to the Brazilian Soul Fund of BrazilFoundation, supporting communities affected by natural disasters and economic hardships in southern Brazil.”
