Fall music releases: Pop powerhouses, country classics, hip-hop heavyweights and beyond
Music fans, it is time to bid adieu to the sunny, slow summer months
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Music fans, it is time to bid adieu to the sunny, slow summer months, and welcome fall — historically, one of the busiest times in the calendar year for new albums, EPs, and mixtapes.
Trends have already begun to reveal themselves: Some of the biggest names in pop (and in pop's future) are gearing up for back-to-school releases. A-listers are returning after years. Country legends are taking on new genres. And hip-hop heavyweights are back in full force.
Others defy categorization — like a new Pretenders record (“Relentless”), the swoon-worthy “Live for Me” EP from Omar Apollo, and Steve Aoki’s “HiROQUEST: Double Helix" — and even more have yet to be announced. Take a look at what's in store with The Associated Press' 2023 fall music preview — a collection of releases scheduled to arrive between September and November.
