HARRY STYLES, KISS ALL THE TIME. DISCO, OCCASIONALLY – 6 MARCH
KATTDO sees Harry oscillating between his lover-boy and party-animal personas – with first single Aperture embodying the album’s ethos perfectly. Harry’s fourth solo album was mainly produced in Berlin, harkening back to David Bowie’s Berlin Trilogy. Expect a (positive) far cry from a lot of Harry’s signature pop with this house and electronic-influenced new project.
RAYE, THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE – 27 MARCH
Raye can do no wrong, and we’re expecting a tsunami of tracks to hit our playlists once This Music May Contain Hope drops. Already boasting viral single Where Is My Husband!, the album follows her incredible debut My 21st Century Blues, which was among 2023’s best releases. Raye’s currently on tour to promote the album, so if you’ve not already secured tickets, you’re missing out.
ROBYN, SEXISTENTIAL – 27 MARCH
It’s been eight years since Swedish artist Robyn released an album, but the drought is finally over. Sexistential marks her return to music, and we’re so excited. Robyn described the album as ‘feeling sensual’, with electronic single Dopamine being a hit already. Robyn will be supporting Harry Styles on his Together, Together tour this year – their blend of disco-pop is set to be the soundtrack of summer.
BTS, ARIRANG – 20 MARCH
The kings of K-pop are back. Jungkook, V, RM, Suga, J-Hope, Jin and Jimin have embarked on individual journeys for the last few years, but they’re reuniting as BTS, dropping their much-anticipated album on 20 March. Arirang, references an iconic Korean folk song, so we can expect the album to hone in on their heritage and culture – plus some R&B, rap and pop influences in true BTS fashion. To mark the comeback, Netflix will livestream an exclusive Seoul performance on 21 March – the hype is real.
