His new album arrives later this month

The Weeknd faced a vocal crisis during his "After Hours Til Dawn" tour finale at SoFi Stadium in 2022, where he lost his voice on stage due to exhaustion and stress. This incident led to self-reflection and a creative shift, resulting in the upcoming album and film project, "Hurry Up Tomorrow." The album, set to release on Jan. 24, concludes a trilogy and explores various genres, featuring special guests like Giorgio Moroder. The film, co-written by the Weeknd and directed by Trey Edward Shults, delves into fame and self-identity, drawing inspiration from the artist's personal experiences and challenges. Amidst this creative evolution, the Weeknd hints at potentially retiring the persona that propelled him to superstardom.
