Dear listeners,
In the streaming era, the grand event of an album release has been replaced by assorted strategies for creating a rollout — more like a string of firecrackers than a big bang.
Still, major albums are on the way this fall. Some of them break long gaps between releases; others take the next steps (or swerves) in already prolific careers. Jon Caramanica and I have plucked out 10 to spotlight here: a hardcore punk band propelling the genre’s evolution, a tech-loving R&B singer and songwriter who always brings her fiddle, a social-media-savvy hip-hop crew and more.
Today’s newsletter kicks off our preview of the coming season — there’s much more on the way in the next two weeks, including Joe Coscarelli’s profile of Doja Cat and a rundown of 45 upcoming albums and shows.
So let’s get started with a playlist of songs that are streaming right now from those 10 much-anticipated albums. They’re arranged by release date, with each one looking a little further ahead.
