The Weeknd's sixth album, "Hurry Up Tomorrow," suggests it may also mark the end of his music career. The lyrics reflect themes of legacy and the inevitable fading of his persona, coinciding with promotional material indicating an impending farewell to the Weeknd character. While his previous album also toyed with concepts of finality, this release leans more heavily into cinematic influences and is accompanied by a full-length film. This raises speculation about Tesfaye's future direction, which may pivot more towards film than music.
All I have is my legacy I'm all alone when it fades to black, Abel Tesfaye sings over a lush bed of synthesisers that quickly takes on the influence of 80s boogie.
One theory is that Tesfaye is more interested in pursuing a career in film, something viewers of The Idol, the abysmal drama series he co-wrote and starred in in 2023, might consider less of a career move than a terrible threat.
