As the signs of summer begin to fade, the fall release of new music allows people to look forward and anticipate summer concert tours next year. Here are a few albums sure to leave you hoping for a few live performances.
P!nk
“The Truth About Love,” Drops Sept. 18.
P!nk’s latest album consists of vinegar-tinged lyrics about letting go of people who hold you back. This venom-soaked album includes songs such as “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)” and “Sl*t Like You.” The entire album stays true to previous P!nk albums and carries on her signature tough-girl attitude.
Deadmau5
“>album title goes here<,” Sept. 22.
At the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, the music world was introduced to the DJ stylings of Deadmau5. Joel Thomas Zimmerman, stage name Deadmau5, is back again to give listeners an extra dose of his electrifying beats. The newest album (actually named, “>album title goes here<,”) brings the same crowd-seducing sounds as his previous albums. Zimmerman collaborates with featured artists such as Gerard Way from My Chemical Romance and hip-hop group Cypress Hill. Don’t be left out when the beat drops.
No Doubt
“Push and Shove,” Sept. 25.
Ten years after Gwen Stefani broke from No Doubt for a solo career, the band has reformed and is back with its newest creation, “Push and Shove.” The band that once had chart-topping singles like “Hey Baby” and “Underneath It All,” now brings a fresh new beat to their latest single “Settle Down.” With 11 new tracks, No Doubt is in the mist of a comeback. Target will be selling the album with a bonus CD featuring acoustic and remix versions of the original tracks.
Lupe Fiasco
“Food and Liquor II,” Sept. 25.
Lupe Fiasco’s newest album “Food and Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Part 1” is a collection of haps on his personal thoughts. After controversy with his record label and the delayed release of his previous album “Lasers,” Fiasco is back with three pre-release singles including “Around My Way (Freedom Ain’t Free),” “Bad B*tch” and “Lamborghini Angels” that acknowledge the problems in our society. Green Day “UNO!,” Sept. 25. It has been three years since the release of Green Day’s hit album, “21st Breakdown” and since then a Broadway musical has been made based from their biggest hits. Now Green Day is iworking on a trilogy of albums starting with the release of “UNO!” So far, three singles from the album have been released, including “Oh Love,” “Kill The DJ” and “Let Yourself Go.” All three albums will deliver emotionally charged lyrics and the classic Green Day rock sound.
