Hurry Up Tomorrow is The Weeknd's sixth studio album and serves as the grand finale of a trilogy that began with After Hours (2020) and continued with Dawn FM (2022). This collector's edition vinyl represents a landmark meeting of two creative worlds, merging one of this generation's most iconic musical voices with the enduring legacy of one of art history's most electrifying figures. The result is an object that transcends the traditional album format — part music, part artifact, part cultural statement.
At the heart of this release is a rarely-seen sketch created by Jean-Michel Basquiat at just 17 years old. The artwork features a figure clutching a balloon and floating above a crowd and unfinished buildings — imagery described as "working-class heroes" set against "unfinished buildings," capturing the tension between aspiration and societal constraint. The phrase "upon leaving the 'norm'" hovers above the scene, underscoring themes of defiance and liberation that echo through both Basquiat's artistic legacy and The Weeknd's own sonic universe. The design speaks directly to The Weeknd's House of Balloons era, bridging his origins with this climactic chapter of his career.
Pressed as a first-pressing vinyl and available for a limited time, this collector's edition is limited to four copies per customer, making it a true rarity for devoted fans and serious collectors alike. The crystal clear vinyl pressing is licensed through the Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat via Artestar, New York, lending the release the full weight of authenticity. With eleven tracks — including "Cry For Me," "Timeless," and "The Abyss" — housed in artwork that has scarcely been seen in a commercial context before, this LP is both a stunning listen and an heirloom-quality piece of music history.
