Top 10 Artists We Most Hope Will Release an Album in 2025
Add whichever artist you would like to see release an album in 2025.
Robyn Rihanna Fenty is a Barbadian-American pop singer. Born in Saint Michael and raised in Bridgetown, she first entered the music industry by recording demo tapes under the direction of record producer Evan Rogers in 2003. She ultimately signed a recording contract with Def Jam Recordings after auditioning... read more
Oasis is an English rock band formed in Manchester in 1991. The group initially consisted of Liam Gallagher (lead vocals), Paul Arthurs (guitar), Paul McGuigan (bass guitar), and Tony McCarroll (drums). Liam asked his older brother Noel Gallagher (lead guitar, vocals) to join as a fifth member a few... read more In 2025, Oasis will be touring all over the UK and Ireland, and potentially other countries in the world.
Liam Gallagher also hinted at potential new music from the legendary Britpop band. Wait and see.
Sky Tonia Ferreira is an American singer, songwriter, model, and actress. As a teenager, Ferreira began uploading videos on Myspace of herself singing songs she had written, which led to her discovery by producers Bloodshy & Avant and an eventual recording contract with Parlophone in 2009. She released... read more Night Time, My Time, which will turn 12 in 2025, is still Sky's only album to date.
She has been teasing her sophomore album, Masochism, for about a decade, but there is still no news about it. Hopefully, it will come out this year!
System of a Down, formed in 1994, is an Armenian-American alternative metal group from Glendale, California. The band name is sometimes shortened to System or SOAD. They've always been a very political band since their inception. Often being against genocide and war most notably in songs like: Pluck,... read more It doesn't seem very likely to me. Serj and Daron can't agree on a direction to take SOAD in the slightest.
I'd say the chances of a third Scars on Broadway album are more likely, as are the chances of another solo Serj album. I think they should just disband at this point. It says a lot when Tool was able to release an album quicker than them.
Since their 2010 reunion, SOAD have released one single only, but no album yet.
They haven't hinted at any new material in the past years and have only been touring.
Christopher Edwin Breaux, known professionally as Frank Ocean, is an American singer, songwriter, rapper, record producer and photographer. It's been almost a decade since Frank Ocean released his 2016 masterpiece, Blonde.
Hopefully, this year he will come back with new music and show that he's still the GOAT of modern R&B.
Peter Gene Hernandez, professionally known by his stage name Bruno Mars, is an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, and choreographer... read more It's been almost a decade since Bruno Mars last released a solo album. The latest full-length album he released was with Silk Sonic in 2021.
His 2024 megahit "Die With a Smile" with Lady Gaga is enough to keep our hopes up for a new album from Bruno.
She hasn't released an album since 2011, but considering Kate Bush is known for being a recluse, she probably couldn't care less about releasing new music - especially since her 1985 hit "Running Up That Hill" had newfound popularity in 2022 thanks to its use in the Netflix series Stranger Things.
Still, let's hope she releases one album this year or soon.
Kate Bush releasing an album in this decade would be amazing!
Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor (born 7 November 1996), better known by her stage name Lorde, is a singer-songwriter from New Zealand. She released her first EP "The Love Club" in 2012 and gained worldwide popularity with her song "Royals" at the age of 16... read more Her albums have a four-year gap between releases: 2013, 2017, 2021, and now 2025?
Harry Edward Styles is an English singer and songwriter. He was initially known as a member of the boy band One Direction. He has since become well known as a solo artist with three albums, "Harry Styles", "Fine Line", and "Harry's House", and has had multiple global hits in his solo career such as... read more His solo work is great. It would be nice if he released another album. He is definitely the most talented member of One Direction, in my opinion.
Harry Styles hasn't released a song for almost two years. Hopefully, he releases something in 2025.
Janet Jackson is a singer and dancer who is well known for her sexually graphic records, iconic performances, and slightly weak voice. She is regarded as a sex symbol through her songs and videos. She has been teasing her next album, Black Diamond, for several years now, and her latest album, Unbreakable, is almost a decade old. Hopefully, she will release a new album this year.
Also, the wardrobe malfunction at the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show was NOT HER FAULT. It was Justin Timberlake's.
The Newcomers
Helen Folasade Adu, known professionally as Sade Adu or simply Sade, is an English singer-songwriter, composer, arranger, and record producer. Their latest album, Soldier of Love (2010), is turning 15 this year. Since then, Sade has released a greatest hits album in 2011 and some stand-alone singles that didn't make waves. I hope they will release a new album in 2025.
Måneskin is currently on hiatus, and their lead singer Damiano David has released two solo singles in 2024. This could mean he will release an album in 2025.
His first singles are promising, so I'm curious about what a Damiano solo album would sound like.
Madonna Louise Ciccone, known professionally as Madonna, is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and businesswoman. She influenced a lot of singers such as: Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Beyonce Knowles and Britney Spears. She is known as Queen of Pop and at modern pop culture specifically... read more Madonna is slowly nearing the end of her career, but it would be nice to see her release a new album that honors her legacy instead of hopping on trends, which she has been doing for over 15 years.
Edit: She just announced that she's working on a new album with big-name producers like Max Martin and Stuart Price (who produced her 2005 album, Confessions on a Dance Floor, and directed her Celebration Tour). I'm not asking for a COAD Part 2, but this is probably a good sign for the direction of her next album.
It has been four years since Madame X.
Justin Drew Bieber (born March 1, 1994) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer. He currently resides in Ontario, Canada and is Christian. He is the son of author Pattie Mallette... read more His latest album Justice will soon turn four, and he hasn't released a new solo single since 2022, when he decided to take a break due to illness. He also welcomed his son, Jack Blues, in 2024.
There is good hope, however, that he will come back in 2025, because he was filmed working in a studio with Mk.gee. This makes me curious about the direction his new music will take. His fatherhood has also likely inspired him to write new songs.
Robyn is probably the most underrated pop singer ever. Her latest album, Honey, was released in 2018, which was almost seven years ago. It would be great to see her release an album in 2025.
Also, I will never forgive Calum Scott for turning her 2010 dance-pop gem, "Dancing On My Own," into a boring piano whinefest. He stripped the song of all its uplifting energy and garnered a billion streams on Spotify with his version, while the original only has 350 million streams. That is truly a disgrace.
Tame Impala is an Australian psychedelic rock band founded by Kevin Parker in 2007. The group began as a home recording project for Parker, who writes, records, performs, and produces the music. That would be really cool to see Tame Impala come back with a new album in 2025. Their latest album, The Slow Rush, dates back to 2020, which is almost 5 years ago.
Lana Del Rey is a California based singer, songwriter, and model who currently resides in Malibu, California. She was born under the name Elizabeth Woolridge Grant to entrepreneur Robert England Jr. and Patricia Ann Hill in rural Lake Placid, New York on June 21, 1985. She has two siblings, Chuck and... read more Can never hear enough from Lana Del Rey. I love her songwriting.
Sir James Paul McCartney (born 18 June 1942) is an English singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and composer. With John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, he gained worldwide fame with the rock band the Beatles, one of the most popular and influential groups in the history of pop and rock... read more It's amazing to know that Paul McCartney is still making music and touring after turning 80. Apparently, he's still rocking onstage.
His latest album, McCartney III, which was recorded during the pandemic, was really good. I'm very curious to hear what Macca can offer at such an advanced age.
He has been trying to purchase back the legal rights to all of his early Beatles songs.
If successful in his legal fight, a remix of his own favorites would be an awesome album. They actually had over 200 songs, so several albums could result.
Kesha Rose Sebert (formerly known as Ke$ha) was born on March 1st, 1987 in Los Angeles, United States. She is best known for her hits like Timber, Tik Tok, and We R Who We R... read more Kesha is finally free from her contract with Dr. Luke (more like "Dr. Puke"), so I can't wait to see what her musical output in 2025 will be like.
Her 2024 single "Joyride" is a good reason to be excited.
Claire Elise Boucher, better known by the stage name Grimes, is a Canadian singer, songwriter, music video director, and record producer. Her latest album Miss Anthropocene dates back to 2020. Since then, she has split from Elon Musk and released some lukewarm singles in the months that followed the split.
Hopefully, she will release a new album this year.
Avril Ramona Lavigne is a Canadian–French singer-songwriter and actress. By the age of 15, she had appeared on stage with Shania Twain; by 16, she had signed a two-album recording contract with Arista Records worth more than $2 million.
Carly Rae Jepsen is a Canadian singer and songwriter from Mission, British Columbia, and later based in Vancouver. She is best known for her hit song "Call Me Maybe" which topped many charts in 2012. She was supposed to release a single in 2024, but she hasn't released anything for a whole year. Maybe in 2025?
Her collaboration with Bullion this year was also very obscure. She really, really, really, really needs to release something in 2025. She has been recording in the studio since September 2023. This November, there were even new pictures of her recording on U.S. presidential election day.
Eminem, born Marshall Bruce Mathers III, is an American rapper, actor and music producer born on October 17, 1972 in St. Joseph, Missouri. Eminem has sold over 300 million records making him the bestselling hip-hop artist of all time. In addition to his solo career, he is a member of D12 and (with Royce... read more
Massive Attack are an electronic music duo from Bristol, England, who use distorted, psychedelic, dynamic atmospheres as a definitive style of their music. They are noted as one of the most influential acts in electronic music to date, whose musical style was claimed to be far ahead of its time, and... read more Trip-hop legends Massive Attack haven't released a new album since 2010's Heligoland. The band's leader, Robert Del Naja, said they are looking to release new songs in 2025.
Hopefully, this means a new album by them.
Rita Sahatçiu Ora is a British singer and actress . Her debut studio album, Ora, released in 2012, debuted at number one in the United Kingdom .
She dated Rob Kardashian .
Cher is an American singer and actress. Described as embodying female autonomy in a male-dominated industry, she is known for her distinctive contralto singing voice and for having worked in numerous areas of entertainment, as well as adopting a variety of styles and appearances during her five-decade-long... read more Cher was just inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the last proper album she released was 2013's Closer to the Truth. It would be great to see her release a new album this year.
