Summer Music Preview: 37 Key Albums
While there's still no official word on whether the summer will bring long-in-the-works new albums from Arcade Fire, Beck, LCD Soundsystem, or Queens of the Stone Age, the coming months will definitely see new releases from Lorde, Broken Social Scene, Katy Perry, Big Boi, Lana Del Rey, Phoenix, Ride, and more.
Browse our collection of the summer's most notable new albums—as well as several noteworthy re-releases and compilations—below, where you can also listen to songs from each release.
A mere $300 price tag will separate the casual Beyoncé fans from the die-hards. This limited-edition box set release of last year's instant classic Lemonade includes a 600-page hardcover book and the first vinyl pressing of the album (which will also be sold separately), as well as downloads of all of the album's songs and visuals.
