Kate Bush surprise album drop, it's not her best but still the sheer novelty of it is greatNew Alvvays album (Based on their trajectory it'll be even better than Blue Rev) but they break up afterwardNew Magdalena Bay but this one's kinda averageSufjan drops his most experimental album so farA lot of the current biggest pop acts don't release music this year and there's a popularity vacuum that R&B fillsMitski drops a stinkerHugely disappointing year for hip hopGeologist's solo album is unironically AOTY contender
>>129034399>New Magdalena Bay but this one's kinda averageno way man the singles they dropped last year were great, i don't see them fumbling an album just yet
>>129034399these are great predicitionsagree with almost all of these just not the ones with sufjan and mistki
>Death Grips new album is noise-slop and their worst album ruining the legacy they created by being prolific and having a perfect streak of albums through the 2010s

There will be a void in pop music, I don't expect Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter or The Weeknd to release much/any new music this year, though Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan might. Naturally this will be filled a lot by last year (and beyond)'s music (I expect Life of a Showgirl/K-Pop Demon Hunters OST to keep doing numbers) but the question is what else will come up? I think in the UK we'll see more and more R&B/souly music (Like Raye or Olivia Dean) while in the US country will continue to intertwine with pop and you'll probably see a bunch of (shitty) Alex Warren knockoffs as well, grim

It just won't be good. Can't be. They've been dry for years. Unless Ride somehow manages to dig down into an even deeper well of misanthropy that ever before and pull out a fucking MIRACLE, it's a toast project.>and I'll still breathlessly anticipate it in that off chance that it's excellent lol>>129034482>The Mountain is Gorillaz best album in years but noone pays too much noticeThe average listener might not care, but I'll still buy. The singles alone are great. I have a feeling that this will be their "Demon Days of the '20s" they were so desperately reaching for with Humanz. The East Asian cult/dictatorship style is working well, both musically and aesthetically.
