The Weeknd's new album is on the horizon.

In a teaser posted on Instagram, The Weeknd revealed the title of his new album will be Hurry Up Tomorrow. It'll serve as the follow-up to his 2022 effort Dawn FM, which he previously indicated is the second installment in a trilogy of albums that started with After Hours in 2020. The ominous teaser, which features a dark soundscape, suggests it will deal with themes similar to those of the previous two albums.

"Yesterday was fourteen years ago," the teaser opens. "We held our breath, falling into a shimmering sea in the After Hours of the night... 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 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 four-time Grammy winner has yet to announce when fans can expect Hurry Up Tomorrow, but he's been sharing snippets of new music on Instagram over the past few months. In an interview last year, he indicated that he's getting ready to "close The Weeknd chapter," suggesting this could be his last full-length project under the moniker.
