Fragments features guests including Jamila Woods, Joji and Kadhja Bonet, while channeling influences from UK bass, Detroit techno and global music through Bonobo's widescreen lens. Bonobo begins a tour of the US in February, giving fans a few precious weeks to soak up the album before its live debut. With a decade-plus of acclaimed projects such as 's Some Rap Songs , Earl Sweatshirt is both an underground hero and a critic's darling.
He hasn't achieved the same level of mainstream success as former Odd Future colleagues Tyler, the Creator and Syd — which is fine with him. Judging from SICK's lead track "," where he pays homage to his mother in cryptic terms, the track album promises to be another collection of stylized verses, dusty beats and autobiographical confessions albeit rendered in a clearer voice than his previous album, 's lo-fi affair Feet of Clay.
As its title suggests, SICK was inspired by the pandemic. However expansive or detailed the truth is," he told Rolling Stone. After blasting onto the scene with his 24kgoldn team-up and runaway smash "Mood" in , iann dior hasn't slowed down, releasing an EP and countless other collabs. On To Better Things marks dior's first full-length album since , serving up 15 tracks that will help the rapper truly come into his own.
Judging by his previous releases, dior won't be afraid to get raw and real on his latest project as he opens up about love, relationships and loyalty. There may be glimmers of hope on the album, though, as dior captioned a post teasing the album , "life is better now. The melding of cumbia beats and psychedelic vibes was embraced during the '70s by many pioneering outfits in Peru and Colombia. Since the release of their debut, New York quartet Combo Chimbita has built on that foundation, amping up the mystical tinge of its material through the soulful chanting of extraordinary vocalist Carolina Oliveros.
Always ready to speak up on social and political issues, Chimbita uses cumbia as a starting point, adding swashes of funk and soul, Afro guitar lines and atmospheric samples. The band's new album expands its palette, enhancing lead single "Oya" with a video shot at the ruins of Puerto Rico's abandoned Intercontinental Hotel.
A tour with the awesome Lido Pimienta will follow soon. Anticipation surrounding Aaliyah 's fourth album has been building since , when Blackground Records released "Don't Think They Know," which paired the late singer's vocals with Chris Brown, and a Drake collaboration, "Enough Said.
The first single, a woozy ballad titled "Poison," features The Weeknd as well as lyrics originally written by the late Static Major.
If the pandemic had even a glimmer of a bright side, it comes courtesy of musicians like Bastille pivoting and positioning their art to address the present, as Give Me the Future promises to do. Bandleader Dan Smith had already begun work on the English pop-rock group's fourth album before COVID threw a wrench in his plans, but the pandemic made the album's probing themes seem that much more prescient.
We promise it's way more fun than it sounds. Mitski almost pressed pause on her music career which, according to a Rolling Stone interview, was "shaving away my soul little by little. Three years since the release of her fifth studio album Be the Cowboy , the indie singer-songwriter is set to share her forthcoming project Laurel Hell.
While the majority of the LP was penned in , it wasn't mixed until , making it the longest the singer has spent on one of her records. What listeners can expect is a transformative set of songs that pair Mitski's signature vulnerability with uptempo dance beats and, ultimately, catharsis.
In , 36 years after the band first formed in the hard rock hotbed of Los Angeles, Guns N' Roses returned with two new singles. This productive streak was remarkable enough in itself given the group's notoriously haphazard release schedule. Pop polymorph Charli XCX has been promising fans her sellout era for months now "tip for new artists: sell your soul for money and fame," she tweeted last July , ushered in with last summer's "Good Ones" and buoyed into the holidays with "New Shapes," a powerhouse team-up with Caroline Polachek and Christine and the Queens.
For it, Charli promises edge-of-your-seat appearances from Rina Sawayama, frequent collaborator A. Cook, and frequent Weeknd cohort Oneohtrix Point Never. Come for the bloody album artwork , stay for the cheeky, self-aware pop concoctions contained within.
The beloved, multi-GRAMMY Award-winning singer-songwriter Dolly Parton has built a career as a trailblazer, so it stands to reason that her next musical effort would carry on that grand tradition. Run, Rose, Run is an album of original tunes taking its energetic moniker from a companion novel that Parton co-authored with the acclaimed writer James Patterson. According to Parton , the accompanying album consists of "all new songs written based on the characters and situations in the book" and centers on a tale about a girl who treks to Nashville to pursue her dreams.
Adds Patterson, "the mind-blowing thing about this project is that reading the novel is enhanced by listening to the album and vice versa. It's a unique undertaking that celebrates a smoldering passion for music; but if you've been following the legend's career, would you expect anything less? Epic ambition fuels the very essence of rock 'n' roll and Jack White has embodied the genre's weakness for glamour, dissonance and excess since his days with The White Stripes.
The reckless propulsion of "Over and Over and Over" — off 's Boarding House Reach — proved that he has kept the bravado in his songwriting very much alive. No details are available on July's Entering Heaven Alive , but the appearance of two albums in the same year is the kind of grandiloquent gesture that rock is in need of more than ever before. Jumping on country music's double album trend , Jason Aldean issued Macon , the first half of his own two-disc set, Macon, Georgia , in November.
The title is an homage to his hometown, which he refers to as a "melting pot" that shaped his music, according to Country Now. Yet, the song project expands on Aldean's signature country-rock sound without steering too far away from what fans have grown to love, as evidenced with both Macon and Georgia's crooning lead single, "Whiskey Me Away. Like its predecessor, Georgia will include 10 new songs and five live recordings of his biggest hits, essentially creating Aldean's first-ever live album.
Though country music has always been the core of what Thomas Rhett has done since his debut album 's It Goes Like This , the star's set, Country Again: Side A , was more traditional than his past projects. Clearly his roots along with the unexpected pandemic-induced downtime sparked a bout of inspiration, as Rhett announced in November that he'll be releasing Side B as well as another LP, titled Where We Started , in Surprisingly, Side B won't be coming first.
But it will create one cohesive Country Again narrative once it arrives, as Rhett promised in an interview with Rolling Stone last year — though he did hint that Side B will feature production that's "a smidge more experimental" than Side A. His latest single, the wistful "Slow Down Summer" hints that Where We Started will also bring back more of the pop-leaning production he's incorporated in his previous albums.
Still, that doesn't mean he'll lose sight of the country boy that has been unleashed: In writing all of this music, Rhett told his producers per Rolling Stone , "This is the direction I'm headed in, and I think I'm gonna be here for a long time.
The upcoming sixth studio album from enigmatic rocker Machine Gun Kelly, ominously titled Born with Horns, was rumored to drop on New Year's Eve , but it seems Kelly had a change of heart tweeting " See you in For one, the album is produced by fellow rock luminary Travis Barker and includes the decidedly dark single "Papercuts.
Released last fall, the session begins with three old songs and ends with two Familia cuts strong enough to bowl you over. In just 20 minutes, the former Fifth Harmony singer genuflects at the altar of pop's past while steering its ship into the future.
Whereas her prior albums sought to cement the year-old amidst her contemporaries, the uber-personal Familia seems likely to propel her into a whole new pedigree of artistry. A visionary blend of flamenco, hip-hop and confessional torch song, the album introduced her to the world as an intellectual, musicologist and pop diva wrapped up into one slick sonic package.
Saweetie is set to finally release her debut album, Pretty Bitch Music , this year. After first announcing the project in , the Bay Area native's star power has exploded, reaching new heights last year with major endorsements, her first GRAMMY nominations and a "Saturday Night Live" debut.
