Like old friends, artists can come and go, but I am just as excited to see them today as I did back when.
The feeling I got when I saw Kings of Convenience was out with a new album was at first excitement, then confusion, “wait, that Kings of Convenience?” and then it became a pure joy for the acoustic duo’s first album in 12 years, “Peace or Love.”
There are plenty of other new albums, including the latest from Goldlink, the amazing H.E.R., Mykki Blanco, Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello with The Bloody Beetroots, Francis Lung, Gucci Mane and Nikolaj Hess.
As always, the entire list of new albums released today, Friday, June 18, 2021 is below in no particular order with my most anticipated albums in bold.
Let me know what you’re listening to in the comments below and on social media.
