Mumford & Sons have announced that their second album will be titled 'Babel' and that it will be released in September.
The album, which is the follow-up to the quartet's hugely successful debut 'Sigh No More', will be released on September 24.
A number of the tracks, including 'Lover's Eyes' and 'Ghosts That We Knew', have been debuted in the band's live shows throughout their recent tours.
Speaking about the album, the band said: "We are more than excited to release 'Babel' into the world. We had started writing new songs well before we got into the studio to record. At first, we peeled ourselves off the road quite reluctantly. We love playing live, obviously, but it had also become an important part of our creative process, we had been writing and rehearsing in soundchecks, and sort of 'roadtesting' new songs on our very gracious audiences."
They continued: "But then we fell in love with recording again. The album started to come together, and with the help of Markus Dravs once more (and engineer Robin Baynton), we started to relish the challenge of making this album."
They continued further: "As a band, we've never been closer or more collaborative, all working to our strengths. And so we feel that this record is a natural progression that we’re proud of, and we cannot wait to take it out on the road."
The band are currently touring the world on their 'Gentlemen Of The Road' tour.

Four years following the release of their last album, Tonight (and its dub companion, Blood), Scottish indie stars Franz Ferdinand have returned with new album Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action, out on Domino on August 27 in the U.S. and August 26 in the UK
A limited "Passport Edition" of the album will come with the album on double vinyl in a hand-numbered sleeve as well as the album on CD, a bonus 7" with two non-album tracks, a live studio recording called Right Notes, Right Words, Wrong Order, a bonus 12", four postcards (each from one member of the band), and more.
Watch a trailer for the LP after the tracklist-- featuring what sounds like a bit of the opening track-- plus recent live video of album track "Evil Eye".

The stellar new album from Glasgow's spectacular pop sextet was influenced by a wide variety of heroes: Jimmy Webb, Lloyd Cole, Connie Francis, Skeeter Davis, The Supremes, and David Lynch. Decidedly upbeat and catchy while also beautifully romantic, quiet, and reflective, this record does not disappoint. The LP includes a coupon for a free MP3 download of "Let's Get Out Of This Country".

Michael David Rosenberg, better known by his stage name Passenger, is an English singer-songwriter and musician. Previously the main vocalist and songwriter of Passenger, Rosenberg opted to keep the band's name for his solo work after the band dissolved in 2009.

The album will also be released by Atlantic Records in North America on 19 May 2014. It is the first full-length release by the band in North America under Atlantic, after Coldplay were transferred from Capitol Records in 2013, following the purchase of EMI and its assets by the Universal Music Group in 2012.

Sam Smith, the voice behind Disclosure’s ‘Latch’ and Disclosure-Nile Rodgers-Jimmy Napes collaboration ‘Together’, will release In The Lonely Hour on May 26 via Capitol Records.

Lebanese-British singer-songwriter MIKA continues shaping his upcoming fourth studio album, scheduled to be released sometime this year via Republic Records and Universal Music Group.
Following the promotion of his latest single “Boum Boum Boum“ released in June 2014, the singer also launched a preview of a new song called “Staring at the Sun” in late last year. The sneak peek was featured on Italian company 3 mobile latest commerical, where MIKA is the main character.
Now, he has finally confirmed the upcoming release of his official new single called “Talk About You“, which will be available on iTunes on 25 March.
It’s an uptempo pop song, with a catchy, repetitive chorus, obviously so MIKA! Are you excited?

「上一張專輯關於分手，如果要這張專輯下一個註解，我會說是它是一張和解/彌補的作品。」─ 愛黛兒
★關於與自己和解，關於彌補消逝的時光。葛萊美 / 全英音樂獎 / 奧斯卡金像獎 / 金球獎流行天后完美回歸
★全球3000萬銷量經典專輯《21》後，暌違近五年全新專輯
★首支單曲〈Hello〉橫掃102國iTunes冠軍，【親愛媽咪】【聽媽媽的話】加拿大天才導演Xavier Dolan操刀MV首日創下2770萬點播紀錄

25 is the upcoming third studio album recorded by British singer and songwriter Adele. It is scheduled to be released on 20 November 2015, through XL Recordings. Following the release and international success of Adele's second studio album 21 (2011), she had planned to quit the music industry and go out on a positive note. However, Adele decided to take a hiatus instead and raise her son. During her sabbatical, she suffered with writer's block and rescheduled the album's studio sessions fearing she had lost her ability to write songs. In 2013, Adele had a breakthrough and the material that eventually became 25 manifested, with writing and recording continuing through to 2015. According to the singer, the album's title is a reflection of her when she was 25 and the frame of mind she was in during that age.
The lead single, "Hello", was a critical and commercial success, topping the charts in 26 countries including the United Kingdom and the United States, where "Hello" became the first single to sell one-million downloads in a release week.

Mika is back! It’s been four years since the 35-year-old dropped his last studio album – No Place In Heaven. Thankfully, plans are in motion for the impending release of a new LP titled My Name Is Michael Holbrook. The collection, his fifth, arrives October 4. But he kicked things into motion with the unveiling of the project’s catchy lead single “Ice Cream.” Out Friday (May 31), the track is a cheeky bop perfectly tailored for the summer months. “I want your ice cream, I want it lying in the sun,” he pleads on the chorus. “I want your ice cream, I want it melting on my tongue.”
“Ice Cream was written on a day of extreme heat,” Mike explained in a press release. “It was the last few weeks of writing for the album; a writing period that lasted two years. Through the writing I had confronted personal, serious and at times painful issues, now I felt lighter and freer.” He offered up a bit more insight about what it represented as well. “The song is a daydream fantasy,” he explained. “It shimmers like a mirage, and makes me feel like anything is possible. Inspired by the irreverent attitude of the music of the 90s; George Michael among others.”
While that would be enough for most, the “Grace Kelly” hitmaker rolled out another surprise over the weekend. Mika announced plans to travel Europe on the Revelation Tour. Opening in November, the show runs through Valentine’s Day, 2020. Tickets will be available for pre-order as of June 7. In the meantime, press play on “Ice Cream” and check out the dates below.

英伦新势力Dua Lipa全新专辑“Future Nostalgia”正式发行！2021年部分巡演场次现已公布。
“来自一位敢于袒露真心的明星的完美流行乐。” -5星满分评价，NME杂志
“重新塑造这个时代的迪斯科舞曲” -5星满分评价，《Wonderland》杂志
“这张专辑将改变她的职业生涯和整个流行音乐格局” -5星满分评价，《The Irish Times》
Dua Lipa备受期待的全新专辑“Future Nostalgia”现已正式发行，共收录了包括全球大热单曲“Don’t Start Now”、“Physical”以及最新释出的单曲“Break My Heart”在内的11支单曲。
Dua Lipa回忆起当时确定这个新方向时的场景，“我当时在拉斯维加斯，刚刚结束一档广播节目，一边听着OutKast（嘻哈双人组，1993年发行第一支单曲）和No Doubt（1987年组建的美国摇滚乐队），一边散步。我当时想，这些唱片至今仍然是我所钟爱并与之息息相关的，为什么我觉得歌曲一点都没有过时？我怎样才能做出这种既有怀旧感，又不和现代脱节的作品？”于是“Future Nostalgia”便诞生了。
2019年底，Dua Lipa在MTV EMAs、ARIAs、AMA等颁奖典礼上惊艳亮相并表演了单曲“Don’t Start Now”，迄今单曲播放量已超5亿。自2015年发行首支单曲，Dua Lipa就成为了炙手可热的年轻艺人之一。她的首张同名专辑“Dua Lipa”全球销量超400万，单曲销量超6000万，一举成为Spotify史上播放量最高的女歌手专辑，同时她也是YouTube播放量过十亿的最年轻的女独唱歌手。
2021年，Dua Lipa将开启“Future Nostalgia”主题巡演。
