Towards the end of every year, we struggle as a team to organize and remember all the beautiful records that came out in the past 365 days. In a world where each week we're bombarded with singles, we thought it would be good to help ourselves and you, our readers, by organizing and listening to all of the exciting upcoming albums and EPs we are excited about. The goal is to keep an organized track of what happened in the music industry throughout 2025.
If you have a suggestion, just send us an email via the contact form or drop us an Instagram DM.
Additionally, there are albums that are covered in uncertainty, ones that we are eager to see, and the possibility of their release is unclear. Like every year, we all hope to see a new Frank Ocean, but who knows? You'll find those at the bottom of the list.
Feel free to tip us any useful info, if you've got such!
