Review
I totally got hooked on 'Hurry Up Tomorrow' from the moment it dropped! As The Weeknd's sixth studio album, it wraps up the trilogy that started with 'After Hours' and 'Dawn FM' with such emotional force. His vocals on this record? Dios mío, they're absolutely incredible! The way he explores fame's darker side and his personal struggles really hits deep, especially when he teams up with that impressive lineup of Justice, Anitta, Travis Scott, and Lana Del Rey.
The musical blend on this album is straight-up addictive. The Weeknd mixes R&B with synth-pop and trap while throwing in some Brazilian funk and hip-hop elements that make each track feel fresh. I've been playing 'Wake Me Up' and 'Cry For Me' on repeat for that classic Weeknd synth-pop vibe. 'São Paulo' brings this amazing baile funk energy that makes me want to dance every single time it comes on.
What really makes this album special is how The Weeknd opens up about fame crushing him and his desire for change. You can feel his reflection on his career journey and the pressure of being in the spotlight. The title track 'Hurry Up Tomorrow' gives us this perfect bittersweet ending that somehow feels like a goodbye and a hello at the same time. This album doesn't just end a chapter - it seems to whisper about what might come next from this amazing artist. - Sofia
