Photo: Vulture and Getty Images How many of us woke up on January 1 empty-handed, robbed yet again of a chance to luxuriate in Rihanna’s elusive new album? Oh, that’s right — all 7.8 billion of us. It’s a new decade and the same old story: Artists will do as artists do, which in the ’20s, just as it was in the ’10s, means just about anything goes. An album can exist in whatever form you want; you don’t even have to call it an album at all.
Halsey, Manic Halsey’s third album is her first written in a manic state, a symptom of her bipolar disorder and now the album’s namesake. As such, she’s said it won’t be tied down to a singular sound, instead exploring “hip-hop, rock, country, fucking everything.” Its first singles have been true to her word: “Nightmare” is a trap-punk freak-out; “Graveyard” is a killer pop power ballad; “Clementine” is minimal whimsy-pop; and “Without Me” is a Justin Timberlake–sampling Hot 100 gem.
BTS, Map of the Soul: 7 Is there a more generous musical act on the planet than BTS? In terms of output, the K-pop kings have everyone beat. After the briefest of vacations , the group is back next month with a sequel to last year’s Map of the Soul: Persona, now onto Map of the Soul: 7. In under a year, they dropped three projects and all of them went No. 1 in the U.S., a feat not accomplished since the Beatles.
Justin Bieber Gird your loins for the return of R&Bieber, the, uh, grown ‘n’ sexy alias of the pop star formerly known as Justin Bieber. It’s been more than four years since the Biebs put out an album, 2015’s soul-searching Purpose, and in that time he’s disappeared from making music of his own to work through some personal issues, marry Hailey Baldwin, and figure out what he wants out of life as a 25-year-old dude who’s been world famous throughout his most formative years.
SZA SZA’s 2017 debut CTRL was a breakthrough, star-making moment for the singer, and ushered in a new generation of R&B talent that followed. In the years since, SZA has stayed busy touring and with features, but hasn’t released much new solo material. That’s about to change, as SZA swears her sophomore album is ready and it’s just a matter of logistics from here on out.
Haim The Haim sisters have been rolling out their third album seemingly forever, since at least last summer. They’ve released a number of excellent singles — “Now I’m In It,” “Hallelujah,” “Summer Girl” — and a number of additions to their Paul Thomas Anderson music-video collection to go with the new songs, but no word yet on when the full album’s expected for release. One thing we do know? Danielle, Este, and Alana sound like they’re completely in the zone.
feel the diversity LOL
