Welcome to the last New Music Friday for January and it looks like the artists this month saved the best for last. Here are my top pics for Jan. 31, 2025.
Geologist, best known for his work with Animal Collective, teams up with D.S. for” A Shaw Deal.”
Manic Street Preachers return with “Critical Thinking,” delivering its signature blend of introspective lyrics and anthemic rock.
The Weeknd continues his sonic evolution with “Hurry Up Tomorrow,” promising another dose of futuristic rhythm and blues.
Circa Waves kick off a new era with “Death and Love, Pt. 1,” blending indie hooks with emotionally charged songwriting.
Bonnie “Prince” Billy offers “The Purple Bird,” another deeply poetic and raw folk-infused collection.
As always, the entire list of new albums released today, Friday, Jan. 31, 2025 is below in no particular order. My most anticipated albums are in bold.
