Coldplay – ‘Moon Music’
Coldplay’s tenth studio album is a sequel to their Music of the Spheres from three years ago, MOON MUSiC is individual and feel-good with a futuristic twist. “WE PRAY”, an already released song on the album features a unique blend of artists – Little Simz, Burna Boy, Elyanna and Tini come together to create a symphony of hopeful challenge. The album has an edge to its character… all the titles except for “feelslikeimfallinginlove” are styled in upper-case letters, while the i’s stay lower-case. Ready for LiFTOFF!
Finneas – ‘For Cryin’ Out Loud!’
Finneas is back with For Cryin’ Out Loud!, his sophomore album.

He announced the album on Instagram, along with its lead single and music video on August 8, 2024. With a fresh, collaborative energy, this album is set to be a studio-powered evolution of his signature style.
Leon Bridges – ‘Leon’

With a style rooted in classic soul and heartfelt storytelling (inspired by songs like “Lisa Sawyer” about his mom), Bridges has become a modern-day throwback sensation.

Bon Iver – ‘SABLE’
Bon Iver’s SABLE is Justin Vernon’s raw, three-song catharsis, born from years of anxiety, burnout, and a lockdown-fueled self-reckoning. Stripping away the dense layers of past albums, SABLE is all about Vernon’s voice and guitar, with a stark intimacy that cuts to the bone. From the sorrowful reflections of “S P E Y S I D E” to the anxious unraveling of “THINGS BEHIND THINGS BEHIND THINGS,” these tracks are heavy with unfinished business, guilt, and vulnerability. Named for near-darkness, SABLE marks Vernon’s haunting yet healing retreat into simplicity.
Shawn Mendes – ‘Shawn’
After years of anticipation, a new era of Mendes is upon us. Shawn is his newest album since Wonder dropped in 2020, and it’s a raw look into Mendes’ struggles, “A year ago I couldn’t step into a studio without falling into complete panic,” he shared on Instagram. “Why Why Why” and “Isn’t That Enough” were already dropped on Shawn’s birthday in August. If the rest of the album is just as bittersweet, promising and healing, Shawn will be nothing short of striking.

Halsey – ‘The Great Impersonator’

The long-awaited album comes after the singer’s multiple health battles and the birth of their child in 2021. “Ego”, the most recent of three pre-released songs on the album, is a real and uninhibited display of emotions. What more tricks does Halsey have up their sleeve?
