Anti is about to celebrate its 8-year anniversary. In late 2022, RiRi released two new songs for the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack, and did the Super Bowl halftime show in 2023. She also gave birth to two children.
Now it's time she gets to working on new music and releasing a new album.

She hasn't made anything in a LONG TIME. It would be nice to see her return.

Their new album Invincible Shield will be released on March 8th. The first singles they teased seemed to mark a great return to form so I can't wait to hear what's next. It's amazing to hear that JP are still kicking ass after half a century.

Dua Lipa

Their latest album "Ohms" was released four years ago already. It would be great to get a new album from them this year, and I think it's bound to happen.

Shakira

She rose to international fame in the late 1990s with Latin pop hits and has sold millions of records worldwide. Shakira is also known for her philanthropic work through her Barefoot Foundation... read more

Shakira made a great comeback in 2023 with her Bizarrap collaboration and followed it up with a few singles, which hopefully announce a new album.
Edit: It's happening! She will release her new album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran ("Women don't cry anymore") on March 22. I can't wait!

After his disappointing Coachella performance last year, it's time Frank Ocean releases a new album this year, eight years after Blonde.

He is known for his energetic and often humorous lyrics, rapid-fire flow, and frequent collaborations with the late rapper XXXTentacion. He rose to prominence in the late 2010s with songs... read more

It feels like Ski's been gone from the music scene for quite a bit, which I can totally understand due to the passing of his friends XXXTENTACION and Juice WRLD.
I'm sure 2024 will be Ski's comeback.

As a teenager, she gained attention by uploading videos of herself singing to Myspace, which led to her discovery by producers Bloodshy and Avant. She released her debut EP, As If!, in 2011, featuring electropop and dance influences... read more

It's been 11 years already since Sky Ferreira released her debut album Night Time, My Time. I hope she will finally release her sophomore album soon.

Bruno Mars

Mars rose to fame in 2010 through his collaborations on the hits "Nothin' on You" by B.o.B and "Billionaire" by Travie McCoy, both of which featured... read more

For most of its career, the group has consisted of vocalist Gwen Stefani, bassist and keyboardist Tony Kanal, guitarist and keyboardist Tom Dumont, and drummer Adrian Young.

I doubt it will happen. They will have to get back together first.
Edit: They just reunited for a reunion at Coachella. Let's see if they will make new music together.

Rammstein

Rammstein is a German Neue Deutsche Härte and industrial metal band formed in Berlin in 1994.

Muse

The members are Matt Bellamy (lead vocals, lead guitar, piano, keyboards), Dom Howard (drums, percussion), and Chris Wolstenholme (bass, backing vocals). They have won numerous awards, including five MTV Europe Music Awards... read more

Likely not this year, but I think there's a good chance they will come out with one next year.
A couple of tracks from their latest album already sound outdated (e.g., the title track, Liberation). However, from what I've heard, Matt is interested in exploring more of the sound found on Won't Stand Down and Kill Or Be Killed (the best tracks from that album).
I don't want to get my hopes up too high, but hopefully, they will redeem themselves.
