Calendar with new music releases on the way

Long before 2025 even started, many artists had already started teasing fans, hinting or even saying to expect new music in the coming year.

Take The Weeknd for example. The artist born Abel Tesfaye started teasing his fans on January 7, 2024 via social media. In an Instagram carousel, he shared the front pages After hours and Dawn FMfollowed by a black square with a giant white question mark in the middle and a small advisory sticker for parents in the lower left. His caption? A single “3”. He finally revealed the title of the final album in his trilogy – Hurry tomorrow — in September, and the day before Thanksgiving, shared its release date. However, on January 13, the musician announced that due to the deadly wildfires in the Los Angeles area, he was canceling his Rose Bowl concert on January 25, and he was also delaying his album out of respect and concern for those in the affected areas.

Then there was Lady Gaga. Mother Monster surprised the little monsters with a simple message at the end of the Gaga Chromatica ball concert film confirming that her seventh album is indeed on the way: “LG7 GAGA RETURNS.” But the teaser, which debuted on HBO Max in late May, didn’t give any hints as to when the long-awaited release would arrive. It was only in September Vogue cover story, which Gaga revealed that the LG7 would arrive sometime in February 2025. As of press time, a specific release date has yet to be revealed.

And of course, things don’t always go as planned. Joe Jonas announced in July 2024 that his new solo album, Music for people who believe in lovewould arrive on October 18, then shared in a September X post that the set is “coming out later now” because he wanted to add some “final touches.” A new release date has not yet been announced.
