The Weeknd has retired his stage name and released his final album under the persona, titled "Hurry Up Tomorrow," before transitioning to release music under his birth name Abel Tesfaye.

The Album

"Hurry Up Tomorrow" serves as the conclusion to a trilogy that began with "After Hours" and "Dawn FM." Critics are calling it his most ambitious and personal work, blending dystopian themes with intimate storytelling.

What's Next

Tesfaye says his new musical direction will be more experimental and personal, free from the commercial expectations attached to The Weeknd brand.
