Jan 31, 2025The transitions here are remarkable; skipping a single track feels akin to jumping three chapters in a novel. .... It would be easy to dismiss this album as indulgent – particularly after Tesfaye gave everyone the collective ick in HBO’s ludicrous misfire of a series The Idol – but Hurry Up Tomorrow is impressive for its ambition alone.
-
Jan 31, 2025A riveting, vastly effective display of his generational talents, The Weeknd uses this broad canvas to assert the multi-faceted aspects of his pop genius. Unafraid to plumb the depths of his emotions, there are also straight-forwardly fun, explicitly pop moments. For all its undoubted complexity, it’s also an incredibly open record.

Jan 31, 2025Hurry Up Tomorrow is certainly a bold way to drop the curtain on a phenomenal career, a luscious pop epic about how awful modern fame really is.

Jan 31, 2025When he tells us that “fame is a disease” on ‘Drive’ or laments being trapped in a “penthouse prison” on ‘Cry For Me’, these are hardly original ideas. But they do feel like authentic expressions of anguish from The Weeknd.

Feb 4, 2025The result is an opulent, elegant, and occasionally exasperating farewell. This is the Weeknd’s most expansive-sounding album that’s also narrowly focused.

Feb 4, 2025Clocking in at nearly 90 minutes, the 22-track Hurry Up Tomorrow is by turns dazzling and frustrating, with moments of lyrical clarity and sonic density that stand out amidst the heavy-hearted reflections and even heavier synths.

Feb 5, 2025Hurry Up Tomorrow is pleasant, even though it’s too long; what it also does well is provide yet another portrait of The Weeknd’s fixation on self-destruction and rebirth. The problem is that it’s lacking some novelty from an artist who is undoubtedly capable of pushing boundaries and reinventing himself.
