Lady Gaga: Born This Way
The Fame got me with the singles. The Fame Monster had me completely intrigued. I can only imagine what Born This Way will do. I'm sure dancing will be part of it.
The Strokes: TBA
The Strokes have announced through their Facebook page that their new album, which remains nameless, will be released on March 22.
Kanye West and Jay-Z: Watch the Throne EP
A five song album with two hip-hop giants joining forces seems pretty sweet right? As long as the other four songs don't sound like the EP's first single, “H.A.M” which is...well, just not very good.
Coldplay: TBA
The band mentioned in many interviews that they want their next effort to be more acoustic, deeper and more intimate. A return to 2000's Parachutes would be a pleasant surprise.
Lil Wayne: Tha Carter IV
Will Lil' Wayne be able to duplicate the crazy success of Tha Carter III on his upcoming album? We'll have to wait and see.
Lykke Li: Wounded Rhymes
It is said to be a much more mature and provocative sound when compared to 2008's Youth Novels and is set for release this March.
Dr. Dre: Detox
Detox is rumored to be Dre's final album. It was intended to be released in 2004, but choosing to be a producer forced Detox to the back burner. It's been over ten years since he had an album out. Does he still have it in him?
Death Cab For Cutie: Codes and Keys
Death Cab albums always make for a good time, in a sweet, depressing kind of way. This album is supposedly inspired by Brian Eno, so it should be interesting.
Radiohead: TBA
I seriously don't know what to expect from Radiohead, but I'm sure whatever it is, it will be awesome. I'm really interested in seeing how they will be releasing their music this time around, since so many played copy-cat on the pay-what-you-want digital download idea.
Arctic Monkeys: TBA
The boys of Sheffield are currently working on their fourth album with producer James Ford of Simian Mobile Disco and hope to release it later this year. Ford worked on their last albums which were all superb, let's hope he does it again!
Fleet Foxes: TBA
Due to intense touring, the release of a second album was continuously pushed back. Yet with it's completion on the horizon, Fleet Foxes are hoping for an early spring release. Two contenders for album names include Deepwater Horizon and Slaughternalia.
U2: Songs Of Ascent
U2 will be releasing their 13th album later this year. A summer 2010 release was inevitably pushed back when the band chose to concentrate on their 360 World Tour. Let's see if they have any more anthems in store for us.
What will 2011 bring to the realm of music? The end of J-Biebs career? A Miley Cyrus + Waka Flocka Flame collabo? Who knows, but I'm sure it'll be good.
