emember that song you couldn’t
get out of your head last year?
Or the song you heard on the
radio way too often? It could have been
any song, but it was probably a song
that made it on iTunes Top 10 or on
Billboard’s Hit 100.
Yes, we still love “Hotline Bling,”
but it’s 2016 and time to move on. So if
you’re wondering what your next shower
tune or road trip jam is going to be,
we’ve got you covered. Here are 10 albums
to be on the lookout for in 2016
that could provide you with that song.
Frank Ocean
After topping the charts with his album
Channel Orange in 2012, it is safe
to say Ocean’s next R&B album, Boys
Don’t Cry, will be no disappointment.
Ocean announced plans to release a
new album scheduled for July 2015
back in April 2015, but the album has
yet to surface. This means his new album
could be dropped at any waking
moment. Be ready.
Red Hot Chili Peppers
It’s been five years since the Red
Hot Chili Peppers released an album,
and we’ll be the first to admit, we’re
[82] Alice April 2016
By Alex Wendrychowicz
getting a little impatient. Luckily lead
singer Anthony Kiedis announced
in February that the band is close to
wrapping up its 11th album.
Drake
Don’t worry, if you are reading this,
it’s not too late. Drake’s official album
release date for Views from the 6 has
not been issued yet. Regardless, we
know Drake is ready to provide us with
more chart topping hip-hop songs. He
shared a glimpse of his new album
back in January when he released his
single “Summer Sixteen.” Whenever
you’re ready Drake, call us on our
cell phones.
TLC
No you are not reading that wrong
— that reads TLC. Your inner 90s
self can jump up and scream now. A
reunion album is on the rise as the two
surviving members, T-Boz and Chilli,
set out to bring back songs we can
dance to in shiny outfits and braids.
The album was set to be released in
2015, but it was pushed back after
the unfortunate passing of their third
member, Lisa Lopes.
Missy Elliott
The queen of feminism is back. She
teased us in November 2015 with her
hit single “WTF (Where They From)”
featuring Pharrell to prove she isn’t
down for the count. Work it Missy,
we’ll be sure to lose control when you
grace us with your new album.
Katy Perry
Since completing her 2013 Prism
tour, Perry’s manager confirmed she is
planning to release her new album sometime
this year. We can’t wait for this
California girl to give us another female
pop anthem.
Nick Jonas
The youngest of the JoBros did not
leave us unimpressed in 2015. After
singing “Jealous” one too many times
and dancing to “Levels” every weekend,
we want more. Jonas said his second
solo album will feature more R&B
sounds and according to his Instagram,
something great is in the works.
