Which artists were featured in The Weeknd's latest studio album, Hurry Up Tomorrow?
The Weeknd (originally named Abel Tesfaye) dropped the third and final chapter of his After Hours trilogy, titled Hurry Up Tomorrow. The singer's sixth studio album features 22 tracks, including multiple uncredited collaborations with Future, Justice, Lana Del Rey, Anitta, and others.
The first track in the album, Wake Me Up features Justice, a French band duo including Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay. Another track, Sao Paolo, features Anitta. She was notably a part of Weeknd's concert at Estádio Morumbi in Sao Paulo in October 2024, where several tracks from his latest release were previewed.
The October 2024 concert featured Playboi Carti, who appears in the track Timeless on the album. The album also includes collaborations with Travis Scott and Florence + The Machine on Reflections Laughing, Future on Enjoy The Show, Giorgio Moroder on Big Sleep, and Lana Del Rey on The Abyss.
The track Dancing in the Flames was notably missing from The Weeknd's latest album despite it previously being promoted as a single. The song was highly anticipated to be a part of the album but was excluded. It is unclear whether the song is preserved for a future album or removed last minute.
Hurry Up Tomorrow comes ahead of The Weeknd's feature film debut in a psychological thriller of the same name. The singer works alongside Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan in the film, directed by Trey Edward Shults. Tesfaye, alongside his longtime collaborator, Daniel Lopatin will compose the music for the film. It is set to release in theaters on May 16, 2025.
