Welcome to another New Music Friday – the last for the month of April! Spring is in full swing and so is the flood of incredible new music hitting our ears April 24, 2026
Country hitmaker Jason Aldean returns with “Songs About Us,” another round of the arena-ready storytelling that has kept him near the top of the charts for nearly two decades.
Foo Fighters keep the flame of muscular alt-rock burning on “Your Favorite Toy,” adding another entry to one of the genre’s most durable catalogs.
Noah Kahan follows up his breakthrough success with “The Great Divide,” offering more of the introspective folk-pop songwriting that has connected with millions of fans worldwide.
The Milk Carton Kids deliver “Lost Cause Lover Fool,” proving once again that Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan’s hushed harmonies and intricate fingerpicking can carry the heaviest emotional weight with just two voices and two guitars.
Ringo Starr keeps the peace-and-love spirit alive on “Long Long Road,” a fresh batch of breezy, all-star collaborations that extend one of rock’s most remarkable solo careers.
As always, the entire list of new albums released today, Friday, April 24, 2026 is below in no particular order. My most anticipated albums are in bold.
