Albums To Look Forward To in 2012

Via a bunch of cool blogs I came across, I took notice on some Artists that are coming out with an album or expected to come out with an album in 2012. Everyone had their list of the best but here’s a list in no particular besides the ones with an asterisk symbols that I’m excited about their release.
Grimes – Visions (1/31, via Arbutus)
Madlib & Freddie Gibbs – TBA
The Magnetic Fields – Love At The Bottom Of The Sea (3/6, via Merge)
Janelle Monáe – TBA
Morrissey – TBA
***No Doubt – TBA***
***Santigold – Master Of My Make Believe (TBA)***
Sleigh Bells – Reign Of Terror (2/14, via Mom + Pop)
The xx – TBA
Yeasayer – TBA

Hopefully those TBA’s will actually become dates. Santigold definitely had a dope debut album. I saw her in the Warfield in San Francisco, CA where Amanada Blank opened up for her. The show was definitely a good time. And speaking of Amanda Blank..where the eff is she??? And No Doubt! No detailed blurb right necessary. Just the fact that No Doubt is suppose to be coming out with a new album in 2012 is already enough said right there.

Diplo Dropping New EP, ‘Express Yourself’

The other day, Diplo released a mix of “Music I’m goin’ to give away free inna few days” on his Soundcloud. He titled this EP Express Yourself. It features sounds by Elephant Man, Sabi, Datsik, Excision, Nicky Da B, Billy the Gent, LAzer Disk and GTA.

Being the Diplo fan that I am, I do look forward to those “tracks that Diplo will give away for free in a few days!”

The Weeknd ‘Echoes of Silence’

Since the release, I’ve definitely had this mix on repeat during my Bart rides. This week, The Weeknd released their third mixtape Echoes of Silence. It features tracks “D.D” and “The Fall.” The track “D.D” is like a spacey take on Michael Jackson’s sex-paranoia anthem “Dirty Diana.”
