Album releases in 2025: New albums set for release the early New Year, including Lana Del Rey and Sam Fender

• A number of huge album releases are already scheduled for release in early 2025.
• Lana Del Rey, Ringo Starr, Shygirl and more are set to release their brand new works across Spring.
• Here’s what albums have been confirmed to be released from January to May 2025, including some not set in stone.

Tire as we might to say that 2025 is shaping up to be a phenomenal year is music, be it festivals and concert tours, the albums released in early 2025 speak for themselves.

Among the standout releases in January alone, fans can look forward to the return of iconic names like Ringo Starr with Look Up and Franz Ferdinand, who will be bringing their new album The Human Fear to the forefront.

One of the most buzzed-about names is Lana Del Rey, who is set to release The Right Person Will Stay in May. Known for her cinematic, melancholic soundscapes, this album promises to continue her legacy of introspective lyrics and lush, atmospheric production. Fans of Del Rey's emotionally rich storytelling can look forward to another deeply personal work, offering a window into her evolution as an artist.

Another buzz-worthy release around springtime is that of Sam Fender, who is looking to continue his run at the top of the UK album charts with People Watching, the eagerly anticipated follow up to his 2021 album, Seventeen Going Under.

In the rock and alternative scenes, Coheed and Cambria will release Vaxis – Act III: The Father of Make Believe in March, further expanding their ambitious concept series. Known for blending progressive rock with intricate storytelling, this album will likely push the boundaries of the band's sound, promising an epic addition to their discography.

Alongside Coheed and Cambria, Inhaler will release Open Wide in February, which continues their rise within the UK rock scene, while adding a diverse touch to the year’s line-up, Sharon Van Etten and the Attachment Theory will debut their collaborative album, Sharon Van Etten & the Attachment Theory, also in February.

Known for her emotive song-writing and bold genre-blending, this project will showcase Van Etten's ability to weave together intricate musical arrangements with raw, vulnerable lyrics.

Meanwhile there’s a standout highlight with Shygirl, known for her cutting-edge mix of electronic, hip hop, and experimental pop, releasing Club Shy Room 2 in the same month, while on the calendar before June 2025 but without a specific date in question are releases for A$AP Rocky, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Miley Cyrus and Kesha.
