The Weeknd revealed the striking cd cover for Hurry Up Tomorrow, the last component of a trilogy that started with 2020’s After Hours and 2022’s Dawn FM, over the weekend break.
“ALBUM COVER,” he captioned the art, which he exposed on social networks Saturday (Sept 7) together with a Hurry Up Tomorrow preorder web link.
The Hurry Up Tomorrow cd cover is a headshot of Abel Tesfaye, spectacular in its simpleness. The visitor’s eye concentrates on his– they’re repaired in a traumatic gaze and masterfully lit. He resembles he’s keeping back rips. Wearing a traditional black container with just the bands noticeable in the framework, he’s set down before darkness and leaning ahead. It’s an expressive picture.
Billboard connected to an associate for Tesfaye to ask about the digital photographer behind the cover shot, however since press time really did not obtain a reaction.

Of what’s ahead– the brand-new program and Hurry Up Tomorrow— he informed Billboard Brazil, “There is always pressure to surpass my last project. Growth is important. Sometimes it may not be what people want to hear from me at the moment, but when the body of work is complete, I hope they can appreciate what I have been trying to achieve. I have been working on this discography for a long time. It was all planned.”
“I always try to achieve something that I haven’t done before musically,” he included. “Sometimes it may not be clear on the first listen [to the album], but fans seem to figure it out over time.”
