Coldplay, Mylo Xyloto: October 25
For all you crazy Coldplay fans out there, I’m sure you know well how the group’s latest studio effort was intended for a 2010 release but got delayed for almost a full year. Now that it’s ready for release, the group is hoping for a successful debut on the charts and radio. The first single off the album, Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall, has sold over a million copies worldwide since it’s June release, and peaked at number four on the US charts. No track listing has been released for the album yet, but rumored tracks include Charlie Brown, Major Minus, and Moving to Mars. If the new album is anything like their last studio effort, we’re in for a real treat. If any of you have seen the group live, you know that their music is refreshing, original, and they are ridiculously talented musicians. Don’t miss out on what’s to be another hit for these brit-boys!
Drake, Take Care: October 25
Drakes freshman debut, Thank Me Later, came out just last year, and turned the Canadian hip-hop artist into an overnight star. Since then, industry hit-makers have been lining up to work with the young superstar. The track list hasn’t been finalized, but rumored collaborations include Stevie Wonder, Florence (without the machine), Jamie Foxx, The Weekend, Rick Ross, The Neptunes, Justin Timberlake, and Lil Wayne. The first single off the sophomore album, Headlines, came out in August and has had average chart-success, but isn’t showing any sign of slowing down on radio and other outlets. How will this album be different than his first? “"I didn’t get to take the time that I wanted to on that record. I rushed a lot of the songs and sonically I didn’t get to sit with the record and say, 'OK, well maybe I should change this verse.' "Once it was done, it was done. That’s why my new album is called Take Care because I get to take my time this go-round." Sounds like we’ve got something coming that’s been carefully penned for all of you Drake-lovers.
Kelly Clarkson, Stronger: October 24
When Kelly Clarkson releases new music, Kelly Clarkson comes back with a bang. Her highly-anticipated return the music scene this fall has everyone hanging countdown chains on their walls. This female power-house vocalist is infamous for belting fist-pumping anthems and spine-chilling ballads, and is ready to deliver another full set of new music that’s sure to launch her back into the spotlight. Her fifth studio album is the follow-up to the 2009 critical and commercial hit, All I Ever Wanted. The new album is reported to be different than what we’ve heard before, with influences citing Sheryl Crow, Muse, Prince, Radiohead, and Tina Turner. The first single, Mr. Know It All (debuted earlier this month) is making a splash on radio and is quickly climbing the charts. Described as a mix between Bruno Mars and P!nk, the first single is vocally fresh and unique, unlike what most other pop-princesses are clogging the radio with. With the final track list just being announced, we’re all getting more and more excited for new music from our favorite girl-next-door.
