Great new releases in store this week, here's a taster...

Four-time GRAMMY Award-nominated global superstar RAYE, is releasing her highly anticipated sophomore album THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE. The album, set in 4 “seasons” with each side of the vinyl being a different season, takes listeners on a sonic journey that begins with darkness and ends with light.
“Music is medicine. I’ve always said that, and I guess I’m in the process of making medicine for myself that I can share with the world. I want us all to say to ourselves that it’s going to be all right, and I’m going to have faith in the seeds that I’ve planted beneath the snow. I wanted to create something that is a hug or bed or soft place for that person who needs it.”

Courtney Barnett releases her fourth studio album Creature Of Habit including single 'Site Unseen featuring Waxahatchee.
Creature of Habit marks a decisive new chapter in Courtney Barnett’s musical evolution. It’s a bold, emotionally resonant record that explores the central question: how to get out of your own way so you can truly feel your life. Written in the wake of a relocation from Australia to Los Angeles and the closure of her long-running label Milk! Records, Barnett was grappling with changes that put the future of both her life and career in question. Rather than internalizing those feelings, she decided to bring all this swirling confusion directly into the recording process.

'Multi-platinum singer, songwriter and filmmaker Melanie Martinez returns with HADES, her long-awaited fourth studio album and first full-length release in three years. Following a career-defining run that has generated over 30 billion global streams, 5.54 billion
YouTube views, and a worldwide audience of 62.2 million+, HADES arrives as the next chapter in a momentous ascent. Her previous three albums CRY BABY, K-12, and PORTALS, all debuted at #1 on the Billboard Alternative Albums chart, with PORTALS launching at #2 on the Billboard 200, cementing Martinez as one of alternative pop’s most innovative and influential forces.'

'After a nearly five-decade (and counting) career as one of his generation’s defining rock bassists with Red Hot Chili Peppers, Flea releases his first full-length solo album, Honora, on Nonesuch Records. Time and space have finally allowed him to return to his first musical loves: jazz and playing the trumpet. The album features the track ‘Traffic Lights’, co-written with Thom Yorke and Josh Johnson, as well as the previously released ‘A Plea’.
For Honora, which takes its name from a beloved family member, Flea composed and arranged the music, and also plays trumpet and bass throughout, joined by an elite crew of modern jazz visionaries: album producer and saxophonist Josh Johnson, guitarist Jeff Parker, bassist Anna Butterss, and drummer Deantoni Parks. The record features vocals from Flea, as well as friends Thom Yorke and Nick Cave.'

Snail Mail,'the project of Lindsey Jordan — announces her highly anticipated third album, Ricochet, out on Matador Records. Her first album in five years, she returns with a renewed sense of clarity and control, asserting herself as a generational songwriter with a sharpened perspective. While her early work chronicled the emotional turbulence of young love, Ricochet reveals a deeper fixation: time, mortality, and the quiet terror of watching the things you love slip away. The album’s 11 songs are steeped in introspection, anxiety, and acceptance — an acknowledgment that the world keeps turning regardless of what’s unfolding in your own small orbit.'

Irish singer songwriter Dermot Kennedy returns with his 3rd studio album, ‘The Weight of the Woods’ released via Island Records on 27th March 2026, produced by Gabe Simon (Noah Kahan, Lana Del Rey).

Sexistential is the most ecstatic record that Robyn has ever made, the sound of one of contemporary music’s most influential artists coming home. After the club music meditations of 2018’s Honey, the album features nine, deeply playful pop songs that tie back to her era-defining Body Talk trilogy, designed to feel “like a spaceship coming through the atmosphere at a really high speed and crash landing”, she says. “That’s how I felt, like I’d had all these experiences searching too far out into space, and now I’m crashing back into myself.”
