1. Lady Gaga

Title TBA, Late 2016

With the release of “Perfect Illusion,” her newest single in almost three years, Gaga has promised her Little Monsters a new album by the end of this year. With each of Gaga’s previous albums she has experimented with new sounds, but it looks like she is going back to where she started by working with RedOne, who worked on some of her biggest hits such as “Just Dance” and “Bad Romance.”

Two of music’s strongest and most unique voices come together on Gaga’s new album, as she confirmed there will be a duet with Florence Welch from Florence + The Machine. Keep a look out Little Monsters, Lady Gaga’s new album will be here before you know it! In the meantime, keep playing “Perfect Illusion” to tide you over.

2. Banks

“The Altar,” September 30

“The Altar” is Banks’s sophomore album, being released just a year after her debut album, “Goddess.” Banks came onto the music scene with a dark sound that drew fans to her elegant lyrics and smooth voice. Based on the sound of the first three singles released late this summer, you can expect this album to be empowering and motivational.

In an interview with Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1 Banks explains, “This album for me is really kind of like a metamorphosis of me coming into my own.” To hold you over until the album is released, check out the track list to give yourself an idea of what to expect.

3. Bruno Mars

Title TBA, Late 2016

The powerful and sweet voice of Bruno Mars will be back on the radio soon enough with his highly anticipated third album expected to come out later this year. Mars is known for having fun, upbeat songs, much like his collaboration with Mark Ronson on “Uptown Funk,” which can be expected on the new album.

EDM’s shining star, Skrillex, is also partnering up with Mars on the album and claims in an interview with Billboard, “It sounds like nothing else that’s happened before.” So we can expect some electronic elements to Mars’s jazzy style.

4. Shawn Mendes

“Illuminate,” September 23

18-year-old heartthrob Shawn Mendes will release his sophomore album later this month after the wildly popular “Stitches” played on stations everywhere. Ladies, expect to be serenaded by the teen’s silky voice with a simple guitar in the background as he sings about treating you better than the last guy or is asking for mercy because he is just too in love with you.

Mendes is the American equivalent to Ed Sheeran in his subject matter and easy going sound. Check out the track list and try to imagine the sweet words you will soon hear coming through your headphones when you need to feel a little loved.
