Music for People Who Believe in Love (Joe Jonas) – May 23, 2025
Joe Jonas is setting off on his own with Music for People Who Believe in Love. Set for release on May 23, 2025, this album continues Jonas and his brothers’ string of retro inspired tracks–albeit with a few modern tinges throughout. As the title suggests, Jonas dares to be sentimental in a time when so much of media is engrossed with negativity. This upcoming release is for those that aren’t afraid to wear their heart on their sleeve. No cynics allowed. Check out an already released song from the album, “Heart By Heart”, below.

Something Beautiful (Miley Cyrus) – May 30, 2025
Continuing on in the pop realm, Miley Cyrus is geared up to release an album, Something Beautiful, on May 30. In typical Cyrus fashion, this album promises powerful vocals, off-kilter pop tones, and no shortage of hits. With the songs already shared from this record, we can assume this is Cyrus at her most daringly candid yet. Over the last decade or so, Cyrus has been sharing her inner-most thoughts. From heartbreak to personal manifestos, Cyrus is one of the most honest artists in the popscape today. This upcoming release will likely continue that trend.
Remembering Now (Van Morrison) – June 13, 2025
Van Morrison is set to make his return to original music on June 13 with Remembering Now. This project marks his first with original material since 2022. Needless to say, fans will likely be on the edge of their seats, waiting to hear what Morrison has to say about life and love these days. As always, Morrison will deliver a powerful meld of soul, jazz, blues, folk, and country with this upcoming release–a singular mix only he has been able to pull off since the late ’60s.
American Heart (Benson Boone) – June 20, 2025
Benson Boone is quickly becoming an artist that is beloved cross-generationally. That is, in part, due to his borrowing of older sounds in his modern hits. Judging by his preview of this upcoming release at Coachella, American Heart promises to be Boone’s most anthemic album to date. He throws in a few nods to the past a la Bruce Springsteen or Freddie Mercury. While this could seem like a trite pastiche, Boone has the vocals to back up these comparisons. He’s the modern answer to the era when rock stars had booming vocals and unparalleled stage presence. American Heart is Boone’s deep dive into pop that is tailor-made for stadiums full of screaming fans.
