Many albums are coming out in the next few weeks––from Lady Gaga to Mumford & Sons, there is music for everyone. A lot of people will be raving about these songs soon and it might be smart to be prepared for the chaos that will ensue!
The 14-time Grammy winner, Lady Gaga, with popular hits like “Poker Face,” “Bad Romance,” and “Die With A Smile,” is releasing her upcoming album, “Mayhem,” on March 7. This album has been dangled over fans’ heads for a while, with the release date pushed from February to March. The songs are expected to have an assortment of music styles like “’90s alternative, electro-grunge, Prince and Bowie melodies, guitar and attitude, funky bass lines, French electronic dance, and analog synths,” Gaga told Elle magazine. She has already released an electric single, “Abracadabra,” already earning more than 130 million streams on Spotify. Gaga is warming everyone up for her album that will break the charts and musical norms.
A star recently thrown into mainstream media, known as Chappell Roan, will be releasing her sophomore album sometime in the near future. She is known for her hits “Good Luck, Babe!” and “HOT TO GO” which skyrocketed her popularity last year. Roan has yet to give her fans the release date of the new album. Roan has been teasing new songs since June 2024 when she sang an unreleased song “Subway” at the Governors Ball Festival. Another song, “The Giver” was debuted on Saturday Night Live on Nov. 2, 2024, when she performed it on stage. Fans have been anticipating the release of these two songs for a while.
Slow progress has been made in the release of her new songs until now. On Roan’s Instagram account, she posted how “The Giver” is available for presale with a “lawyer” and “plumber” edition. In a post, Roan told her fans “Ps keep ur eyes peeled, she may be on a billboard in your town.” Roan is promoting her new hit in certain areas such as Times Square, Los Angeles, Nashville, and Chicago. These billboards are causing a lot of commotion and excitement for the upcoming album, which is expected sooner rather than later.
New music from both Mumford & Sons and the Wallows is set to release in a couple of weeks from now, on March 28.
Mumford & Sons, who are recognized for songs like “I Will Wait,” “Little Lion Man,” and “The Cave,” is coming out with their first album since 2018. The upcoming album, “Rushmere,” has fans scrambling to buy tickets for their upcoming tour. Similar to their album, they have not toured since 2020, so this is a big deal for Mumford & Sons’ fanbase.
The Wallows, known for their hits “Are You Bored Yet?” “Remember When” and “Scrawny” are also remembered for their lead singer, Dylan Minnette, “13 Reasons Why” star. The EP titled “More,” has the same unique sound fans are used to, and they are not disappointed. The band released two songs already and they have received very positive reviews.
There have been so many song releases lately, and these artists are just adding to the mayhem.
Fans anxiously wait to see if their favorite artists will create this year’s next top hit.
