Happy New Music Friday! Spring has officially sprung, and so has an incredible wave of new releases to soundtrack your weekend. From K-pop icons to indie darlings and metal legends, March 20th is packed with something for every listener.
Featured Highlights
Luke Combs – “The Way I Am,” his sixth studio album Wikipedia, makes a confident case that he’s still one of country’s heavyweights, delivering 22 songs built to remind fans he can still kick out anthems alongside his more reflective side.
The Dear Hunter – “Sunya” delivers the prog-rock collective’s most ambitious statement yet, weaving complex arrangements and conceptual storytelling into an immersive sonic journey.
Avalon Emerson and the Charm – “Written Into Changes” sees the electronic producer embracing a full band sound, crafting shimmering indie-pop that bridges the dancefloor and the heartstrings.
Grace Ives – “Girlfriend” arrives as a kaleidoscopic pop confection, blending bedroom-pop charm with irresistibly catchy hooks that feel both intimate and expansive.
Tedeschi Trucks Band – “Future Soul,” their sixth studio album, finds Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks returning to a more traditional album format after the ambitious “I Am the Moon” project delivering their most powerful collection of songs yet — a soulful, high-energy set that rewards from first listen to last.
