Is it fall yet? It sure does feel like it on the east coast and our friends on the west coast are continuing to battle wildfires. Meanwhile, the Gulf coast is picking up the pieces from Hurricane Sally.
In the music world, it feels like fall with the full slate of new releases out today. It’s as if all these artists were holding out on us until we needed them most.
There are a lot of familiar names at the top of the list with new albums out today by Alicia Keys, Curren$y, Joan Osbourne, Keith Urban, Neil Young and yes – Cat Stevens is back!
I’m also stoked about new albums from Mike Shinoda, Cults, Lil Tecca, Butcher Brown and El Ten Eleven. Of course, let me know what you’re listening to in the comments and on social media.
Below, in no particular order, is my list of new albums released today – Friday, Sept. 18, 2020. My most anticipated albums are in bold.
