So first of all it's been a while since I've purchased a whole album since I always end up just getting some songs and not an entire album. However, these following albums are from my favourite musicians so here we go.
1. Jesse McCartney- Have It All
Have It All is Jesse McCartney's fourth studio album and according to McCartney the album is "full of sexy, four-on-the-floor beats with big pop melodies... but yet again, some rhythmic, R&B stuff that's pushing the envelope a little bit more for me as an artist." I personally can't wait for this album to come out in the Spring of 2011 since its been such a long time since we've heard anything new from JMAC.
2. A Skylit Drive- Identity on Fire
I wasn't sure what to think of when I heard that A Skylit Drive was going to release its third studio album since I wasn't ever a big fan but when they released "XO Skeleton" on Jan. 10 I knew this album wasn't going to be like any other Skylit album. It's set to be released in Feb 2011 plus they have new people who worked on the album so I'm pretty sure they'll have a lot of good stuff.
3. Lupe Fiasco- Lasers
Ok so this is how can I say it "the hottest shit in this bitch". I really don't know anymore who isn't awaiting new stuff from Lupe Fiasco especially since his last album which was released in 2007 so yeah. The album is set to be released March 8, 2011 but the first single "The Show Goes On" was released on Oct 26 2010 and it's a pretty good song so hopefully the rest of the songs on this album are as cool.
4. The Strokes- Angles
First of all no The Strokes never broke up but Julian Casablancas did do a solo album and they haven't launched anything new since 2006 so hella-balls-to-the-wall yes I'm excited. Although they haven't yet set a release date for the album to come out in the US they have officially said that on March 21, 2011 the album Angles will be available in the UK & Ireland. Hopefully we won't have to wait so long! Oh and btw I'm not sure whether that is the actual album cover but it's the most recent picture of them together so points for that? No?
5. Lady Gaga- Born This Way
I've always liked Gaga's music and of course I was excited when she announced her new album after singing a new single from it called "You and I". I just hope it's as "fucking good" as she says it's going to be. If not then I'd still get it because I'm loving the album cover art haha. Oh and it's supposed to be released May 23, 2011.
6. Panic! At The Disco- Vices & Virtues
This one is a little different. Although I am not a big fan of P!ATD without Ryan Ross I will admit that I am dying to hear their new work and see how their album does on the charts. So just out of curiosity I'm awaiting this one too. It's set to be released March 29, 2011.
Other albums from artists that I'm awaiting but have not released a date or given their album a title are (takes breathe):
7. Coldplay- Untitled (Fifth Album)
Although not much information has been said about this album Chris Martin has said that lyrically, the album is inspired by "old school American graffiti" and "the White Rose Movement." Hopefully more information will be given out sometimes soon or at least this year.
8. Paramore- Untitled (Fourth Album)
Since Josh and Zac have left the band I'm anxious to hear what this new Paramore sounds like. No information about this album but I mean it's Paramore so I'm sure I'll like at least some of their new stuff I always do.
9. Arctic Monkeys- Untitled (Fourth Album)
Huge fan of the Arctic Monkeys. Own all of their albums and love almost every single song so why should I not be super duper excited for this one. They haven't said much about it but they have said that they will be going on tour with The Strokes, Arcade Fire, and Primal Scream.
10. Death Cab For Cutie- Codes and Keyes
Love them! Can't wait for it. Simple and sweet.
Anyways those are a few albums that I'm excited for. I need new music on my ipod!
Until next time!
Signing off,
Stripes
