Adam Lambert
Title: Trespassing
Due out: March 20
The American Idol alum has defied critics and taken the music industry by storm since coming in second on season 8 and for good reason: Adam Lambert brought the glam, the vocal chops and the show with every performance. The 29-year-old singer's debut album, For Your Entertainment, which yielded several hit singles and a successful world tour, is thisclose to platinum certification in the U.S. , which puts the pressure on Trespassing, Lambert’s highly-anticipated (to put it mildly) second studio album (in between, he also released an acoustic EP, a collection of remixes and a live album).
What can fans expect? More of that stupefying upper register, as the album’s first single, “Better Than I Know Myself,” let on. That song was written in part by Claude Kelly and Dr. Luke. Other songwriters and musicians believed to have contributed tracks, licks and lyrics include Nile Rodgers -- of Chic and '80s- era David Bowie and Madonna fame -- Bonnie McKee, Ryan Tedder and Pharrell Williams. Back in March 2011, Lambert forecasted to THR that the album would be “less campy” and “more primal” here ’s hoping that animal instinct is ready to roar.
Nicki Minaj
Title: Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.
Due Out: Feb. 14
On the one-year anniversary of her debut release Pink Friday, Nicki Minaj told fans that they could expect her sophomore effort to hit stores Feb. 14, historically one of the best album- selling days of the year. In the style of Jay-Z 's The Blueprint and Lil Wayne's Tha Carter records, Minaj has titled her next album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. The name stems from her highly popular (and male) alter ego who grew to prominence on the track "Roman 's Revenge" featuring Eminem. To date, Minaj has released two tracks from her album titled "Roman in Moscow" and "Stupid Hoe," produced by DJ Diamond Kuts. The album's full track listing is expected to be revealed Jan. 19. Minaj’s debut effort topped the Billboard 200, R&B /Hip -Hop and Rap Albums charts and was certified platinum in the U.S . Pink Friday also enjoyed a fairly successful awards run, winning the American Music Award for best rap/hip -hop album in 2011
and earning the rapper Grammy nominations for best rap
album, new artist and rap performance for her Drake
collaboration, “Moment 4 Life.” The album additionally
spawned the hit singles “Check It Out” (feat. Will.i.am ),
“Fly” (feat. Rihanna) and “Super Bass,” a deluxe edition bonus
track that THR named the best song of 2011.
Dev
Tittle: The Night The Sun Came Up
Due Out: March 27
The Night the Sun Came Up is the debut studio album by
American recording artist Dev. It was released on September 2,2011 by Universal Republic. Dev worked exclusively with American alternative hip hop production duo The Cataracs, who helmed the production of the entire album along with co- writing songs with Dev. The production process of the album took place mainly in January 2011 and is currently continuing as the North American release date for the album was delayed from September 20, 2011 to January 10, 2012 as per Dev's request to add more songs to the album, however, Amazon.com announced the album would be pushed back again to March 27, 2012. The first two singles Bass Down Low and In The Dark have been great hits. The third single was recently released and features Enrique Inglesias the tittle of the track is Naked. Can't wait for Dev to make her mark.
Lady GaGa
Tittle:TBA
Due Out: TBA
Lady GaGa released her last abum Born This Way on May 23, 2011 which sold a million copies per month since its release. GaGa is no stranger to the Grammys and has been claiming them as the GaGa grammy's since her 1st album The Fame. Since then she has been nominated for album of the year, 3 years in a row and I'm sure she will not loose the chance of making it 4 years in a row. Therefore she has to release a new album by the mids of 2012. I'm hoping my prediction is correct since she has already said she was working on it.
Kelis
Tittle:TBA
Due Out: 2012
In a September 2011 interview, Kelis said that her sixth studio album would be finished "in the next few weeks" and that it would be released in early 2012. Signed to Will.I.Am's branch of Interscope I'm thinking it'll be another dance record. Her last album Fleshtone is in my opinion the BEST album EVER. It was beautifully written and is a true masterpiece. Written while Kelis was pregnate and going through a divorce, it contained some deep lyrics. The album was unfortunately a flop not selling many albums. The singles however did better. Acapella topped Billboards Dance Charts and 4th of July was in the top 10 of the same chart. Due to theh lack of publicity Fleshtone didn't get much recognition which dosent take anything away from it being a masterpiece. If you're like me and love lyrics then Fleshtone is a must have. Since Fleshtone she worked with Calvin Harris on Bounce and No Security with the Crockers. I'm eager for her new album to release.
