Anitta – ‘Ensaios da Anitta’

Starting December off strong, Anitta is releasing an album collection, Ensaios da Anitta – translating to “Anitta’s Rehearsals” in English – showcasing and reinventing some of her previous songs, based on the Brazilian artist’s yearly live shows celebrating the pre-Carnival season in Brazil. Her recent collab with The Weeknd on “São Paolo” is her typical Brazilian Funk vibe, but the artist is multifaceted in her sound and career; dancer, actress, and pop, funk, reggaeton singer-songwriter and more, she does it all.

Hozier – ‘Unreal Unearth: Unending’ 

A complete track list of 26 songs, Hozier’s upcoming album is a deluxe addition to his most recent release, Unreal Unearth. A mix of released tracks from the past two years and some unreleased titles. Just one question, is Hozier under all that dirt? 

Ryan Adams – Blackhole

Ryan Adams’ long awaited Blackhole is finally being released in a week’s time, and fans are ecstatic. With a long and complicated history, Adams has considered releasing the album multiple times over the past 15 years, including in 2014 when he announced he’d consider dropping it the following year. The album is set to count 11 songs, including titles like “The Door”, which he’s previously performed on tour. 

Netflix – ‘A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter’

Although we still love a cheesy Hallmark Christmas movie, Netflix’s Christmas release might top the charts this holiday season. With a soundtrack from Sabrina Carpenter’s fruitcake album and musical duets with Chappell Roan, Shania Twain, and more. What a sweet list to get us in the holiday spirit. 

ROSÉ – ‘rosie’ 

Her big debut after leaving BlackPink, Rosé’s upcoming album, rosie, is her debut studio album set to release on December 6. Her recent collab with Bruno Mars on “APT.”, which has been sitting at number one on the Billboard Top 200 chart for the past five weeks, is the album’s leading single. The 12 track list features titles such as “3am”, “toxic till the end”, and “too bad for us”.

Nicki Minaj – ‘Pink Friday 2: The Hiatus’

The wait – sorry, hiatus – is over. Nicki is dropping Pink Friday 2: The Hiatus, almost exactly a year after her release of Pink Friday 2. The upcoming album is the final deluxe volume of the rapper’s Pink Friday series. With top songs like “Everybody”, “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” and “Super Freaky Girl” from Pink Friday 2, the hiatus twist is bound to give us some hits. Fans are worried that this might mean Nicki is taking a step back from making music, but they’re generally excited for this new drop. Time can only tell! 

Mariah Carey – ‘Merry Christmas (30th Anniversary Edition)’

It just never gets old. Mariah Carey is celebrating the 30th anniversary of her album, Merry Christmas, which granted her the title of “Christmas Queen”, because honestly, what’s Christmas without her? Complete with all songs from her original album, she’s adding the remastered versions of all “Live at The Cathedral of St John The Divine” songs. As Carey famously sings, It’s Time!

Mario – ‘Glad You Came’ 

The “Let Me Love You” singer is back with a new album release, Glad You Came. A 13-song album, Mario shared on Instagram that the album “takes you on a journey of love, intimacy & vulnerability in a confident and imaginative way”. With songs like “Selfish”, “Love Ain’t Perfect” and “I’m Sorry”, it’s easy to see what he means.
