There are so many great albums scheduled for 2026 that it’s hard to narrow them down. But here are four that I’m most excited for, including new releases from artists I used to love as a teenager who I had no idea were still making music.

Which upcoming albums are you most excited for?

‘Frozen Charlotte’ by Jack White

Jack White announced his seventh album, Frozen Charlotte, with a typical lack of fanfare. No promotional singles, press releases, or social media posts. Instead, he simply listed it for pre-order on the Third Man Records website. The tracklist opens with his two latest singles, “G.O.D. and the Broken Ribs” and “Derecho Demonico”. Additionally, it’s described as carrying the same “raucous, raw, and frenetic energy” of his 2024 album No Name.

However, this album makes a slight departure from the heavy blues influences of No Name, instead bringing pure rock and roll to the surface. Still, the blues are never gone completely, not on a Jack White........
