Today, September 25, new albums from Tinashe, M83, Blondshell, Leon Bridges, Gilla Band—the wild ones who used to go by Girl Band—Cara Delevingne, Protomartyr, Julia Jacklin, and Soft Cell drop, with Soft Cell visiting “Danceteria” on their final album, on the very day Madonna also visits it alongside Charli XCX. We also receive Taylor Swift’s reissue.
That’s the scene for international pop, because within our borders there are interesting and plentiful releases from Alba Morena, Morreo, El Último Vecino, Sofía Coll, Aiko el grupo, Baloncesto, and Anabel Lee, plus an EP by Juan Anselmo.
The generous harvest of singles also brings noteworthy updates from Ganges, Rose Gray, La Paloma, Jane Remover, and Maitequiero, as well as the long-awaited comebacks of U2, CHVRCHES, and Rex Orange County. There are also tracks for various media by Phoebe Bridgers and Perfume Genius, and curious collabs such as Tom Morello with Kneecap—on his album—or Sofi Tukker with OneRepublic.
We kick off the playlist with the most anticipated comeback, the Sugababes, and don’t miss the debuts from Shenseea, Claudia Arenas, Queens of the Stone Age —who are on the lookout for Gothic girls—, Kristina, or Portrait’s return after 15 years.
