The Weeknd's 'Hurry Up Tomorrow': A Sonic Journey

Discover our in-depth review of The Weeknd's latest album, "Hurry Up Tomorrow." Explore the themes, sounds, and standout tracks that define this release.

Abel ‘The Weeknd’ Tesfaye performs on stage at MorumBIS on Sept. 7, 2024 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.Pedro Vilela/Getty Images “I can’t Fucking Sing!” shouts the Weeknd in the third track of his new album, a 15 second interlude that blends directly into the much-maligned Anitta featured single Sau Paulo, which had received brickbats on that music video where Anitta is pregnant with a ghastly child that…

REVIEWING THE CHARTS: 08/02/2025 (Lady Gaga, The Weeknd's Hurry Up Tomorrow, Morgan Wallen)

Lola Young sticks to #1 for a third week with “Messy” as we get another exciting week on the UK Singles Chart with several top 10 debuts, a big album release,  Welcome back to this “intriguing” series, REVIEWING THE CHARTS!

content warning: uhhh nothing this time actually

Rundown

As always, we start the week with our notable drop-outs, songs exiting the UK Top 75 – which is what I cover – after five weeks in the region or a peak in the top 40. This week, we bid adieu to “Bug” and “Favourite” both by Fontaines D.C., “2 hands” by Tate McRae, “HOT TO GO!” by Chappell Roan, “I Had Some Help” by Post Malone featuring Morgan Wallen and, temporarily of course, “Mr. Brightside”.

As for our gains and returns, it’s quite a scattered week, with the GRAMMY Awards ceremony this past weekend definitely leading to some boosts, having the whole week of post-award gains to let them surge higher, though how long that’ll last, I don’t know, and there are other gains not connected to the GRAMMYs. Lady Gaga sees residual streams for “Disease” back at #68, and Chappell Roan’s “Casual” slips back to #62, whilst there are top 40 re-entries for “Guess” by Charli xcx featuring Billie Eilish at #31 and “Not Like Us” by Kendrick Lamar at #27, whilst The Weeknd’s #1 album Hurry Up Tomorrow brings “São Paulo” with Anitta back to #21. Then there are notable gains for songs already charting, those being “No One Noticed” by The Marías at #55, “tv off” by Kendrick Lamar featuring Lefty Gunplay at #46, “Raving in the Studio” by Aitch and Bou sadly at #40, “Beautiful Things” by Benson Boone at #33 with a virally embarrassing GRAMMYs performance, “DENIAL IS A RIVER” by Doechii at #16, “Pink Pony Club” by Chappell Roan at #14 and, again, thanks to the album, “Timeless” by The Weeknd and Playboi Carti at #7. More on Abel and Gaga shortly.

As for our top five, it’s still very standard: “Sailor Song” by Gigi Perez at #5, “The Days” by Chrystal at #4, “That’s So True” by Gracie Abrams at #3, “APT.” by ROSÉ and Bruno Mars at #2, and of course, it’s getting messy at #1 but now it’s time to clean up the mess down below.

New Entries

#74 – “Say My Name” (Remix) – Morgan Seatree featuring Florence + the Machine

Produced by Morgan Seatree and Paul Epworth

Okay, I’ll bite: who the hell is Morgan Seatree? Well, turns out he’s a Manchester DJ signed to Sony, active for a while in the house scene but particularly as a remixer, with this song itself being yet another one of those remixes, a remix of a remix in fact. English indie darlings Florence + the Machine first released the song “Spectrum” on their 2011 album Ceremonials, and though as I repeat on this blog, I’ve never been a big fan of Florence, this one I find pretty undeniable thanks to the detail in the instrumentation: that sharp rise in the intro, the overbearing reverb and echo that drowns the mix, the buzzy glitch in the back of the second verse, it all speaks to an unkillable spirit that is already more danceable than their usual fair thanks to a marching band-turned-disco hybrid groove and what is basically already a diva house vocal from Ms. Welch. The squelching synth in the back of the bridge, where the fluttering harps dip in and out around her vocal, already makes for a great pre-drop build, it’s already prepared for the inevitable Calvin Harris remix that it got in 2012. Said remix is a festival banger with a classic piano house hook that debuted at #1, sitting there for three weeks and becoming the band’s first UK chart-topper, knocking Maroon 5’s “Payphone” off the top and charting well into 2013. Because the chart is in some kind of early 2010s revivalist period currently, Morgan Seatree has come to remix it yet again and… it’s kind of bizarre, in a subtle way.

Seatree has stripped the song of nearly everything except the powerful vocal, which sounds like it’s gone through stem separation despite the co-credit, so he wasn’t given access to a quality vocal here and it hurts the song. He then just implants his old-school Chicago house beat behind it and… it works? It’s got more bounce and originality to it than PAWSA, and the main synth lead is actually sprinkling all over the place like the original harps, it’s just a culture shock to have the pounding drums and maximalist detail completely replaced, with Florence’s vocal chopped up in the post-chorus as well. The power hasn’t left the vocal though, taking on this new feeling of being trapped under the dancefloor and rising out of the ground triumphantly, the victory lap of the military regiment the original empowered. It may not be an original idea to remix this song into a house track, but it’s a surprisingly original take that doesn’t modify the structure too heavily from Harris’ version yet does enough to separate and recontextualise itself, remaining pretty powerful. I didn’t expect to enjoy an up-and-coming DJ’s remix of an already popular song, that’s often a recipe for laziness, but I do think this is pretty great execution.

#67 – “I Don’t Want to Live Like This” – James Marriott

Produced by James Marriott, Aleksi Kiiskinen, Jono Suter and Eeli Savolainen

Unlike the other non-KSI YouTubers that end up on this show, I actually know who this is prior to encountering them here and cannot act like I’m above them and their chosen career like I always do. To be fair, I know little about English influencer Mr. James Marriott apart from his association with a guy called “Memeulous”, so my hopes weren’t exactly high for his musical output. I was right to lower them as well because this is smug indie landfill garbage in the same vein as fellow English YouTuber Wilbur Soot and his band Lovejoy, though they’re much more adventurous than this, with a monotonous guitar pluck, a seriously limited vocal performance that comes off more as drunken karaoke than anything and a layer of basic, unbefitting synth that does not clear this from being an absolute droll. The vocal melodies are uninspired and sound comical from Marriott, who leaves so much empty space that extra piano flutters or aborted guitar solos have to fill up space and don’t do very well given how flatly the song is produced. The song is about audience expectations and not living up to them, which can work – we’ll see it working later today – but wrapped up in faux-poetic analogy that runs well out of steam by the second verse and just sounds so disconnected. It also can’t hit that powerful of a note when said audience is a couple hundred-thousand kids on YouTube but that’s far from the song’s fault. What the song is at fault for is frankly being basic and awkward – I was surprised that this isn’t his very first song because that’s how it appears. Regardless, I hope his musical side gig takes him somewhere or at least improves, but this first chart hit is definitely not impressive.

#64 – “Love Hangover” – JENNIE featuring Dominic Fike

Produced by JENNIE and Ido Zmishlany

The BLACKPINK girls are all making separate moves as solo acts – it’ll be interesting to hear who Jisoo teams up with, as ROSÉ’s with Bruno, LISA has a duet with RAYE and Doja Cat coming for next week’s chart and JENNIE has decided to collaborate with someone so unbelievably worse that it’s ridiculous, Mr. Dominic Fike. Friends don’t always have the same high standards, even if you tour the world as a girl group together. Anyway, with surprisingly no relation to the Diana Ross classic of the same name – you know how sample nostalgia bait gets – this song goes for a moodier, alt-pop vibe fully in Fike’s territory. There’s a faux-organic soul backing, scattered pitch-shifted backing vocals and a sing-rap flow that sounds really awkwardly staccato, borderline off-beat with JENNIE’s overly manufactured vocal. The toxic relationship content is fine, but the chorus isn’t impressive and the one part I do really like, that laidback electric guitar lick, is suppressed so far back into the mix. Fike goes for a rap verse for… some reason, and he sounds so clumsy that I’m almost embarrassed for him. I suppose that the floaty, comical nature of JENNIE’s approach to the relationship is interesting, especially in the malformed outro that glitches her vocal and leads up to a resounding nothing, but the production is too stiff, as is JENNIE as a vocalist, to account for that. If it reminds me of anything, it’s that last BROCKHAMPTON album where everyone was checked out and wanted to leave. What a great comparison point when you’re still proving yourself as a solo artist.

#44 – “I’m the Problem” – Morgan Wallen

Produced by Joey Moi and Charlie Handsome

Interestingly, this is the only track this week where the lead artist isn’t credited as a co-producer, instead with Wallen’s common collaborators Mr. Moi and Mr. Handsome (to be confirmed) on the boards. To make a joke at this song’s expense is pretty cheap, falling into Morgan Wallen’s trap if anything. It won’t stop me, of course, and many others, but the idea that he’s now self-aware of his life’s issues feels quite reductive of his work up until now which has been very commonly and sometimes overly honest and self-deprecating. Sure, he complains about women all the time, but Morgan’s alcoholism and recklessness isn’t news to him, and this song isn’t even an instalment in that. It’s actually a bit of rage-bait as the song probably should have been called “If I’m the Problem”, as he whines incessantly about this vindictive woman but does cut to some remarkably deep cuts: “you hate that when you look at me, you halfway see yourself”. Wallen’s vocal feels more stable and driven than it has recently, even if his vocal production hits some weird notes, it’s not the best recording, and there is an attempt at making it sound like a dustier revenge song with all the reverb, western sound effects and fast acoustic guitar picking fit for a cowboy entering a saloon… but that still doesn’t make the airy R&B percussion fit the mix, it’s like Boi-1da showed up at the saloon uninvited. The song’s also ultimately just a heated, pissy vague-post about some ex, and without something that really resonates sonically or really, lyrically, it’s easier to ignore than it should be. Kind of an easy skip, this one, which is a shame after “Smile” was so enjoyable.

#8 – “Cry for Me” – The Weeknd

Produced by The Weeknd, Metro Boomin and MIKE DEAN

I may need to issue a formal apology to Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye. The singles for this extended, messy album rollout were, and still are, pretty rough and derivative, so much so that I’d assumed that he was kind of out of ideas, that it would be a sad and pathetic end to the trilogy, that he’d lost the passion. This feature-length album of cinematic, immersive production, layers of actually effective MIKE DEAN synth ejaculate, delicate soul samples and a great theatrical theme that carries into the song titles, audience sounds, interludes and the features coming in and out to play their roles… yeah, it shut me up, it’s brilliant, it debuted at #1 because of course it did, and I’ve yet to even begin unpacking it because, well, come on, it’s an hour and a half. It’s not a perfect album, it still has that hunk of trash “Timeless” on it, but there are only small cracks in an otherwise solidly put-together album. As for my favourites, it’s most of the tracklist but “Baptized in Fear”, “Enjoy the Show” with Future, “Niagara Falls” and “Drive” come to mind, alongside this very song.

With the enlisting of close collaborators like Metro and MIKE DEAN, who seems particularly proud of this record over on X, “Cry for Me” follows the extended Justice-assisted intro track and focuses like many of his pop hits on a failed relationship. Here, that desperate plea for reciprocated feelings and lamenting their distance doubles as his back-and-forth with his audience, particularly in reference to him losing his voice at a concert, disappointing the crowd that came to see him – “the crowd’ll scream / I block my ears to stop the cheers ‘cause the stage took a toll”, and the potently helpless lyric, “I can’t see myself and I’m not breathing”. Abel is using theatrical and performance analogies throughout the album and given this may be his final record, his anxieties about the stage cut with more melodramatic stakes than ever, especially with the track buzzing immediately with the inhuman growls and pitch-shifted soundbites that follow from where the intro track’s build-up started. Those high-pitch backing vocals are both a reminder of the audience and really, his inner child, the naivety that he’s lost over time, replaced with a thumping, Brazilian funk-adjacent percussive stomp. Abel always sounds great, this chorus is one of his catchiest, and you can easily tell when Metro came into the fold because of the cathartic trap breakdown in the second chorus, leading into a bridge wherein Abel can’t continue deflecting his pain onto others, he’s able to admit that it’s him “burning up [his] home” – the usual release of the signature “ooh, yeah!” hits a deflated note after a pitched-down final chorus. As an individual song, it’s a layered synthy jam, and as part of the album, it’s the ultimate tone-setter, plotting out the narrative for the rest of the record. It may seem like a long listen especially in the rockier early stages, but it’s worth diving in.

#6 – “Abracadabra” – Lady Gaga

Produced by Lady Gaga, watt and Cirkut

To have the highest debut after only three or so days of tracking is impressive – once again, I may need to apologise here because I had thought that Gaga’s solo work would mostly continue to have disappointing returns but turns out she just needed the right song and video to deliver a smash again. And this is a smash hit, not just statistically, it sounds like one. Of course, our story actually starts in 1981, with goth rockers Siouxsie and the Banshees and their song “Spellbound”, a witchified rollick that peaked at #22, whilst Michael Jackson’s “One Day in Your Life” was #1. Gaga’s taken melodic hints of that song to add a darker, theatrical bombast to what is already pretty explosive. Reminiscent of ARTPOP, ugly industrial-adjacent bass synths seem to immediately halt the song’s momentum into a warped, staggered rhythm, before being replaced by 90s house pianos and choppy drum fills that end with a stark, haunted vocal clip, as Gaga delivers a surprisingly motivational set of lyrics aiming to burn bridges and start anew. In what appears initially as a nod to her nonsense, name-dropping hooks from, say, “Bad Romance”, the chorus actually features her casting spells in Latin over a great buzzy synth bass that creeps around the bottom of the track like a frog being added to the pot, boiling into the potion that is that awkward post-chorus, Gaga stretching the words to a whimsical, almost bratty melody that echoes a cheerleader chant as much as it does her last words before the room collapses with her in it. I’d prefer if the song had a more developed bridge than just a euphoric high-register vocal, in fact, the entire final moments feel quite abrupt with the chopped-off final chorus and late entry for some strings that crowd the mix, but overall, this is still a great song, an immediate anthem that Gaga just has not had in this vein for a while. Whatever comes out of that next album, Mayhem, I’m definitely more intrigued than I was with only “Disease” and “Die with a Smile” preceding it. Now I just want to know what branches these sounds together.

Conclusion

It was a real mixed bag this week but far from an uninteresting or frustrating one. In fact, there’s a lot of great stuff and The Weeknd just barely hits that Best of the Week with “Cry for Me”, with a tied Honourable Mention to Lady Gaga for “Abracadabra” and Morgan Seatree’s remix of Florence + the Machine on “Say My Name”. It’s also a pretty close run to the bottom, but what separates the two is that JENNIE and Fike are allegedly professionals, and “Love Hangover” is straight-up depressingly bad, so that takes the Worst of the Week, with James Marriott taking a pity Dishonourable Mention for “I Don’t Want to Live Like This Anymore”. As for what’s on the horizon, we’ll see the aforementioned LISA track for sure, and potentially Mr. Tommy Richman, Caity Baser, Alex Warren, Sonny Fodera or even that Elton John/Brandi Carlisle collab. For now, however, thank you for reading, rest in peace to Irv Gotti, pioneer of the “Murder Remix” that were actually completely different songs entirely, and I’ll see you next week!

Check out my thoughts on The Weeknd's new album Dawn FM 💜

⬇️

"The Weeknd has been on fire since the release of his fourth official studio album After Hours. The album topped the charts and broke many records for its time in the Billboard Top 100. Abel told a captivating story with After Hours, and he wanted to keep the story going. Dawn FM is the second of what The Weeknd said will become a trilogy. Upon my first listen, I knew that this album would go down as one of his best. This album, as much as it is music, it is also a cinematic masterpiece in the making. As Abel releases each music video, he adds a layer to the Dawn FM universe, and by proxy, the After Hours universe as well. There are no skips to be found--just press play and let the story unfold."

Hot Tape: Snowchild

A slow and soft ode to vice

Snowchild is one of my favourite songs off The Weeknd's After Hours. It's got a nice snare, some mellow synths and The Weeknd's voice flowing over it all.

The songs starts with a swelling synthesizer for a couple seconds before the percussion comes in, then The Weeknd shorty after. The backing instrumental has some electronic rubber band sounds swapping ears every now and then.

Different elements come in and out at certain times. Some extra swelling on the hook, sci-fi blips at the mention of spaceships and even a firework at one point. Those extra bits add some life to the song.

On the song The Weeknd talks about his past before being famous; growing up in Toronto being homeless and surrounded by drugs. He also speaks on his fame and his constant on the road, under a microscope lifestyle.

It's not a joyful song, it's got a darker vibe. It's a great song still, The Weeknd's voice just keeps me listening. It's a good song and I reccomend trying it. If you don't like there's always Blinding Lights off the same album, that song slaps hard.

https://music.apple.com/us/album/rare/1488413282

Okay. So before I get into my review I feel like I gotta give you guys an idea of where I’m at with the artist PRIOR to listenin to the album.

I honestly did not listen to any of her older music. Well wait.. take that back. Same Old Love or whatever song that was slapped. I fucked with it hard. But for me personally no - I wasn’t a fan of her music, and all really I knew she was on a show on Disney, and she dated the Biebs and The Weeknd.

Rare just came out yesterday, so I’ve listened to it.

And y’all. WHAT THE FUUUUUUUCK IS HAPPENIN!?!?! IS THIS REALLY SELENA!?!?! Like I never would’ve thought she’d make an album that would sound like this. While according to the Internet and everything this is a pop record, I don’t think it’s that stereotypical pop anyone would expect. Each song has its own sound.

Noteable Tracks:

⭐️ Rare- Honestly I picture fuckin hippies in bell bottoms runnin around in a field with flower crowns on.

⭐️ Dance Again- This song follows rare and I feel like I’m in a club on Cap Hill (if you’re not in Seattle.. I’m sure you have a similar neighborhood in your city). And honestly I just wanted to include it to show the difference... it’s good but not a fave.

⭐️ Lose You to Love Me- Yo you know it’s about to be deep af when it’s pretty much just piano and her voice. But on the real it’s a beautiful song. I added it to my library.

⭐️ People You Know- It just has a nice flowy kinda vibe to it. One line that stood out to me was “I always wanna get higher, I never know when enough is enough.” Which definitely isn’t relatable.

🔥 Crowded Room feat. 6LACK- This is the first song I added to my library when I listened to the full album the first time. First of all, 6LACK is fuckin amazing so if you don’t know his shit go listen. I’m a sucker for a good chorus and this song’s got it.

⭐️ A Sweeter Place feat Kid Cudi- When you listen to the words she’s talkin about some shit dude. But it’s a pretty upbeat song that you wouldn’t really notice it.

Zecrio

If you’re looking for the Australian version of The Weeknd, look no further! Zecrio is an R&B artist with an angelic voice who resides in the suburbs of Sydney. He finds influence from genre defining musicians such as Michael Jackson, The Weeknd and Frank Ocean. Zecrio has defined his own musicianship with the majority of his songs focusing on love, lust and our darker thoughts. What’s more, all of his songs are made fully in his home studio. His debut album ‘These Games XXII’ came out in 2021. This album shows the journey of loving someone, losing them and coming to terms with what we are left with. It explores what it is to be lonely and how it can become a heavy weight on our shoulders. Now, Zecrio is working hard on his next album which will be released later this year. It will further explore conflicting feelings in adult relationships so put this album on the top shelf where the kids can’t get it! Zecrio is dedicated, hardworking and is always vulnerable in his music. With his passion and his skill, there’s no saying how far he will go! Get streaming Zecrio because he’ll be hitting the big time soon.

Blue Moon 🌙

Mason Mount social media au - e2l, comedy, crack humour, fluff, angst and smut

Rating: Mature (explicit smut, recreational drug usage, dirty humour, strong language)

y/n is fast becoming the ‘It Girl’ of her generation. A successful music career, critically-renowned performance skills, a wildly popular cosmetics company, brand partnerships piling up, and the ability to make something sell out just by mentioning it on her Twitter. With beauty, brains and a slightly terrible sense of humour, the whole world is falling more in love with her and her friends by the day. Well, almost the whole world. A certain Chelsea starboy doesn’t seem to share the same affections...

a/n: if you guys wanna be added to the taglist, just comment or drop me an ask!! hope you enjoy xo

captivity (m) | p.jm. | one-shot

pairing: jimin x reader

rating: m (18+)

genre: smut | humor | fluff | slight angst | strangers to lovers!au | mafioso!jimin | kidnapper!jimin 

summary: Maybe you shouldn’t be so attracted to one of your kidnappers and maybe you shouldn’t give in to his advances – but Park Jimin is way too irresistibly sexy and persistent in his pursuit of you for his own good.

relax for me (m) | p.jm. | one-shot

You came home from a tiring workday and your boyfriend offered to give you a massage to relax – which you didn’t think much of because Park Jimin is known to be selflessly kind while also being a pervert, the exact two behaviors a massage would exemplify. But maybe you should think more about how skilled his hands felt… almost extraordinarily skilled. Is your boyfriend hiding something from you?

disaster management | j.jk. | one-shot (m)

An important investor wants to withdraw from a future project at Jeon Security, and you, the company's President, are to handle things before they blow over. A task that would have been easy despite the meeting’s location being the investor’s daughter’s wedding. Only – the presence of your unruly CEO, Jeon Jungkook, by your side the entire night when paired with alcohol… may lead to way bigger disasters than what the two of you can manage.

put it on me (m) | p.jm. | one-shot

When you signed up to model your cleavage for a jewelry commercial, no one bothered to tell you it wasn’t gonna be a solo shoot. It’s unfair being blindsided and you want to protest, but A-list model and flirt extraordinaire Park Jimin’s steel-cut abs have you kinda tongue-tied. And then you get kinda too busy thinking of other ways in which you’d like him to shut you up.
