New albums by: Aly & AJ, T-Pain, Lil Pump, Kx5, M83, Hozier, and All Time Low
- Aly & AJ - With Love From
On Wednesday, the sister duo that is Aly & AJ will release their new album, With Love From. As is obvious from the songs the duo has released from the album, With Love From has more of a folk feel than the pop-rock vibe Aly & AJ has become known for. But honestly, we're loving the harmonies involved in their newfound sound!
- Lil Pump - Lil Pump 2
After several delays, Lil Pump has announced his highly anticipated album Lil Pump 2 is expected to drop on Friday. Per Genius, the project boasts 16 tracks and contains a handful of features from artists like YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Ty Dolla $ign, Smopkepurpp and G4 Boys.
- T-Pain - On Top Of The Covers
On Friday, T-Pain is back with On Top Of The Covers, his first full-length project since the release of 1UP in 2019. However, the project is unlike anything he's put out before. Rather than recording new tracks, T-Pain's forthcoming record is set to include renditions of classic tracks by Frank Sinatra, Sam Smith, Journey, Sam Cooke, Black Sabbath, and more.
- Kx5 - Kx5
The long-awaited release of Kx5, a project crafted by EDM legends Kaskade and Deadmau5, is set for Friday. In celebration of the highly anticipated release, Kaskade and Deadmau5 will take the stage at Billboard's SXSW showcase on Saturday. Those with Platinum and Music badges and people lucky enough to land a spot on the invite list are surely in for a killer show!
- M83 - Fantasy
In a similar musical realm is M83, and the group also has a brand-new album titled Fantasy dropping on Friday. This serves as the French group's ninth studio album and is set to include the lead single Oceans Niagara, which was released in January.
- Hozier - Eat Your Young
Though it may not be a full-length album, Hozier's upcoming EP Eat Your Young is still worth getting psyched over. The EP is expected on Friday, which also serves as the artist's, born Andrew John Hozier-Byrne, birthday! The EP marks the Irishman's first music drop since his Spotify Singles release in 2019 and the 2022 release of the song Swan Upon Leda.
- All Time Low - Tell Me I'm Alive
Back and better than ever is everyone's favorite pop-punk band All Time Low with the release of their ninth studio album, Tell Me I'm Alive, on Friday. The album is said to feature 13 tracks, including the title track Tell Me I'm Alive and Sleepwalking.
