Donda is the tenth studio album by American rapper and producer Kanye West. The album was released on August 29, 2021, through GOOD Music, and was distributed by Def Jam Recordings. The album is named after West's late mother, Donda West.

This blockbuster debut album matches its eclecticism and broad emotional range with high-quality hooks throughout – and all with the rapper’s sexuality front and centre

"我总是有意识地避开录音室，" Cigarettes After Sex的主唱Greg Gonzalez说道："在世上某个开敞的角落完成录制总会给专辑带来别样的感受。录制地点的特质或氛围就像是某种未知因素，它会成为专辑情感表达中至关重要的一环。
声音和环境的巧妙结合的确塑成了Cigarettes After Sex 第二张全新专辑《Cry》的灵魂。录制于西班牙马略卡岛上一座令人艳羡的宅邸，《Cry》用极简的笔触描绘出曼妙的线条与柔媚的光线，让人在这般声音图景中感到难以言喻的美丽、情迷意乱的渴望。受到岛上鲜活色彩和新鲜环境的感染，Gonzalez常常在与鼓手Jacob Tomsky、贝斯手Randy Miller和键盘手Phillip Tubbs录音前几分钟才写好歌曲。他亲自操刀录音及制作工作，将重心聚焦于捕捉现场表演的氛围，并从录音环境和乐队成员间的交流中获取灵感，探索录音素材的可能。
收录九首歌曲的《Cry》虽然精练，但仍有着难以掩盖的深度。五零年代末、六零年代初流行乐的浪漫氛围只是专辑中容易察觉的要素，Gonzalez此番的尝试还远不止如此；回溯自己童年在德克萨斯州埃尔帕索度过的时光，他从九十年代特哈诺（Tejano）音乐天后Selena和主流乡村歌手Shania Twain等经典音乐人身上汲取到诸多灵感。除了旋律上的花费的心思，Gonzalez在歌词创作上也不遗余力地进行着革新。他毫无畏惧与窘迫，以类似Henry Miller或Leonard Cohen的直白方式坦诚勾画时常露骨的爱欲交缠场面。Gonzalez创作时好比一个电影人，他用细腻、有着电影质感的方式捕捉不易察觉的时刻，并设法从平凡中提炼深刻的意义。

The next full-length studio album from The Paper Kites—who gained a global fanbase throughout the 2010s as a leading name in the indie-folk scene which emerged throughout the decade—will feature a mix of female musicians recruited from around the world, including Julia Stone (Angus & Julia Stone), Lucy Rose, Rosie Carney, Aoife O’Donovan, Nadia Reid, Amanda Bergman, Lydia Cole, Gena Rose Bruce, and more. This will mark the first time that The Paper Kites have welcomed multiple non-band performers to appear on one of their studio projects.

30 is the name of the long-awaited upcoming fourth studio album by British singer-songwriter, Adele set to be released on November 19, 2021. After six years of musical break, following the release of her 2015 album, 25, the singer is back for her new era.

Rapper-producer duo Nas and Hit-Boy have been on an incredible run for the past two years, releasing two iterations of the solid King’s Disease collaborative album, receiving a Best Rap Album Grammy for the first, and a nomination for the second. Yet, somehow, they still aren’t done yet, looking to finish off the year with another new album, completing a hat trick to close out 2021. The new album, which Nas and Hit just announced on their respective social media channels, is called Magic and has just nine tracks and two features, ASAP Rocky(!) and DJ Premier(!!).

The 20-year-old's self-assured second album documents her hopes, fears and trauma with thrilling emotional candour

Ed moves into a new season. Pre-add Autumn Variations now
It was only in May this year that Ed Sheeran released -, an album inspired by the winter of the singer-songwriter's life. It was an outpouring, as Sheeran processed the death of his best friend, depression and anxiety—and the discovery that his wife had a tumour while pregnant with their second child. Just three months later, Sheeran is moving into a new season with Autumn Variations, a surprise follow-up of 14 tracks made alongside - producer (and Taylor Swift collaborator) Aaron Dessner of The National.
After the stormy yet intimate songs on -, the cover of Autumn Variations hints that Sheeran is still navigating the aftermath of those world-shattering events but that, even if he isn't quite moving on, he is perhaps moving up. Because, as the hand-drawn images that make up the album art suggest, amid “heartbreak”, “moments of sadness”, “rough tides” and “bad news”, there are also always “moments of hope”, “friendship”, “serenity”—and the certain knowledge that, eventually, better times come. Watch the trailer for Autumn Variations now and pre-add the album to get the whole thing instantly once it's released.

Sometimes, Mitski says, it feels like life would be easier without hope, or a soul, or love. But when she closes her eyes and thinks about what’s truly hers, what can’t be repossessed or demolished, she sees love. “The best thing I ever did in my life was to love people,” Mitski says. “I wish I could leave behind all the love I have, after I die, so that I can shine all this goodness, all this good love that I’ve created onto other people.” She hopes her newest album, The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, will continue to shine that love long after she’s gone. Listening to it, that’s precisely how it feels: like a love that’s haunting the land.
“This is my most American album,” Mitski says about her seventh record, and the music feels like a profound act of witnessing this country, in all of its private sorrows and painful contradictions. In this album, which is sonically Mitski’s most expansive, epic, and wise, the songs seem to be introducing wounds and then actively healing them. Here, love is time-traveling to bless our tender days, like the light from a distant star.
The album is full of the ache of the grown- up, seemingly mundane heartbreaks and joys that are often unsung but feel enormous. It’s a tiny epic. From the bottom of a glass, to a driveway slushy with memory and snow, to a freight train barreling through the Midwest, and all the way to the moon, it feels like everything, and everyone, is crying out, screaming in pain, arching towards love. Love is that inhospitable land, beckoning us and then rejecting us. To love this place — this earth, this America, this body — takes active work. It might be impossible. The best things are.

End, the enigmatic new album by Explosions in the Sky, was inspired by darkness, but became a loud, dramatic, wild rumination on life and death. “Our starting point was the concept of an ending—death, or the end of a friendship or relationship. Every song comes from a story, or an idea one of us has had that we’ve all expanded on and made its own world. Maybe it’s our nature, but we kept feeling that the album title was ultimately open to a lot more interpretation—the end of a thing or a time can mean a stop, but it can also mean a beginning, and what happens after one thing ends might pale in comparison to what it becomes next,” says the band about the album. End is perhaps the “grandest” Explosions In The Sky album – melding the quiet restraint and crushing feel of their early recordings with the aural exploration and ornate experimentation of their later works (while incorporating their increasingly deep film and television scoring catalog).

Last February, Caroline Polachek shared one of the best albums of 2023: her fourth solo LP, Desire, I Want to Turn Into You. Now, on Valentine’s Day, she’s back with Desire, I Want to Turn Into You: Everasking Edition, a new version of the album featuring seven additional tracks and four new songs.
The new Everasking Edition includes the previously-released duet version of “Butterfly Net” featuring Weyes Blood, as well as the song Polachek premiered on Stephen Colbert’s show last October, “Dang.” Also featured are four new songs, titled “Meanwhile,” “Coma,” “Gambler’s Prayer,” and “Spring Is Coming with a Strawberry In the Mouth,” the latter of which is a cover of an Operating Theatre song.
