Happy New Music Friday! April 17 brings an absolutely stacked lineup of releases across every genre imaginable. From pop perfection to experimental adventures, this week has something for everyone ready to refresh their playlists.
Jessie Ware continues her dance-pop renaissance with “Superbloom,” an album that promises to be the soundtrack to every sun-soaked moment of the year ahead.
Yaya Bey delivers soul-stirring vulnerability on “Fidelity,” crafting intimate R&B that feels like a late-night conversation with your closest friend.
Frog embrace their wonderfully weird side on “Frog for Sale,” an album that’s equal parts playful and profound.
Sofia Isella showcases her singular vision on “Something Is a Shell,” blending indie-pop sensibilities with deeply introspective songwriting.
Tomora invites listeners into their world with “Come Closer,” a captivating collection that balances warmth and melancholy in equal measure.
As always, the entire list of new albums released today, Friday, April 17, 2026 is below in no particular order. My most anticipated albums are in bold.
