The Weeknd is back in action, leading a batch of new-music releases that includes titles from Lil Durk, All That Remains, Hunxho, Ohio’s Klassic Kloudhead and guitar gods Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Eric Johnson (all subject to change) …
The Weeknd, “Hurry Up Tomorrow” (XO/Republic): Delayed a week due to the Los Angeles wildfires, the Canadian hitmaker’s sixth solo album is the third of a trilogy (with 2020’s “After Hours” and 2022’s “Dawn FM”) and also shares a title with the psychological thriller film of the same name due out May 15. The Weeknd worked with co-producers such as Max Martin and Pharrell Williams, and guests including Playboi Carti and Anitta on the singles “Timeless” and “Sao Paulo,” respectively. He’s said this may be his last release under The Weeknd moniker, but we’ve been hearing that for a while.
