This week\u2019s #NewMusicFriday will be an extra special one for many music fans. All those Swifties out there will finally get their hands on the new album from Taylor Swift. TayTay, however, is not the only artist with a new release this week. So, whether you are at the record store, browsing iTunes, hitting up Apple Music, or wandering through Walmart, here are five new albums you should check out. <\/p>\n
Taylor Swift \u2014 The Life of a Showgirl (Republic)<\/strong>
<\/p>\n Swift returns with her highly anticipated 12th studio album this Friday. The new album, The Life of a Showgirl, is a glimpse inside the artist\u2019s life on the road. Fans of The Tortured Poets Department will find Showgirl has much more of a vibrant and upbeat outlook on life. The 14-time Grammy winner worked on much of the album while on the European leg of her Eras tour last year. Swift designed numerous different album covers for Showgirl, so don\u2019t be surprised if the version you find is different from the standard one pictured above. Swifties can also catch \u201cTaylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl,\u201d debuting in theaters on Friday.
<\/p>\n The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus \u2014 X\u2019s For Eyes (Better Noise Music)<\/strong>
<\/p>\n Florida alt-rockers The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus are back with their sixth studio album, X\u2019s For Eyes. The multi-platinum band\u2019s new offering harkens back to their 2006 debut, Don\u2019t You Fake It. The new album was recorded with essentially the same studio team. X\u2019s will include not only new music, but songs from RJA\u2019s original demo that did not make it onto their debut record. While you will definitely feel those \u201cFace Down\u201d vibes at times, X\u2019s runs the gamut of the band\u2019s sound through almost two decades, from emo to pop-punk to post-hardcore.
<\/p>\n Waylon Jennings \u2014 Songbird (Son of Jessi\/Thirty Tigers)<\/strong>
<\/p>\n Songbird is a collection of unreleased tracks by the late country music legend Waylon Jennings. The album features songs recorded during Jennings\u2019 time with the Waylors from 1973 to 1984. The Country Music Hall of Famer was the first solo country artist to have a platinum album. This album will be the first of three posthumous releases by Sons of Jessi and Thirty Tigers. Songbird was produced by Waylon and Richie Albright and features his all-star band, including Albright, Ralph Mooney, Tony Joe White, Jessi Colter, and others. The title track is a cover of the Fleetwood Mac song written by Christine McVie that was included on the band\u2019s 1977 Rumours album.
<\/p>\n AFI \u2014 Silver Bleeds the Black Sun (Run For Cover)<\/strong>
<\/p>\n Silver Bleeds the Black Sun is AFI\u2019s first release for new label Run For Cover Records. The album leans heavily into the adult goth-rock and post-punk of previous albums like The Blood Album and Bodies. You can hear hints of New Order, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Sisters of Mercy, and other band influences throughout the ten-track release. The album\u2019s second single, \u201cHoly Visions,\u201d sounds like an industrial-tinged cross between The Cure and A Flock of Seagulls.
<\/p>\n Lily Rose \u2014 I Know What I Want (Mercury Records)<\/strong>
<\/p>\n \u201cVillain\u201d singer Lily Rose releases her latest effort this Friday. The award-winning singer\u2019s new album leans a little more country than some of her previous work, but it still maintains its pop sensibilities. I Know What I Want has been five years in the making and captures Rose\u2019s emotional rollercoaster through that timespan. The thirteen-track album comes as Rose, who has toured with the likes of Shania Twain and Sam Hunt, winds down her own 17-date headlining tour.
<\/p>\n The Best Of The Rest<\/strong>
