Wait that weighs: upcoming albums from pop icons to watch out for
It’s been a while since most of the divas of pop music who raised us well have shared with us another era of their artistry. For us fans, we know to ourselves that no matter how long the waiting time could be, we won’t flinch until we enter into a whole new period with our stanned artists. And while we do that, we’ll hold on to all the other crumbs they would probably give us.
As 2024 entered, it seemed as if we got back into the momentum where pop music from our well-loved artists and rising ones thrives. Starting off with the ultimate Pop Queen Bee, Beyoncé with Cowboy Carter that definitely brought us into another era of her music. Then we got The Tortured Poets Department from Taylor Swift that took us into a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Moreover, our pop-loving hearts jumped into the beats of Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism, Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet, and Charli xcx’s Brat.
Hold up! We still got a list of upcoming albums from pop icons to watch out for. Who forgets about the divas who taught us so much about music like Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Demi Lovato? Definitely, waiting for their new era is a wait that weighs for us fans.
Watch out for these pop icons in their upcoming albums
Rihanna’s R9
With ANTI in 2016 as her most recent album, Rihanna Navy surely can’t wait to go into another era with their pop commander whose music gives us orders of loving them, which we voluntarily follow. Our hearts just can’t stop vibing and marching once her music plays. The beat, the words, and the vocals—aye-aye, captain!
Meanwhile, after eight years of waiting for another album, Rihanna teases us about her 9th studio album, saying “It’s gonna be amazing.” This alone surely thrilled our pop-loving souls as we are to anticipate yet another iconic comeback from the pop commander herself, Rihanna.
Lady Gaga’s LG7
Baby monsters have been crying for the mother monster to feed them with another supreme comeback, and so the mother listens. While it’s been four years already since the last studio album of Lady Gaga, Chromatica, came out, baby monsters still feed on its resonating musicality, words, and collaborations. But the time has come for another meal to be served.
Lady Gaga has been consistently teasing baby monsters with photos in a recording studio, which certainly awakens the cravings of her fans for a new era of her music and artistry. Moreover, among the biggest and most certain teasers we got from the mother monster came along with the premiere of Gaga Chromatica Ball’s ending, teasing us with words “LG7. Gaga returns.”
Demi Lovato’s DL9
Fellow Lovatics, rise up! After a year of head banging to the rock era of Demi Lovato, we seem to be entering another era of their artistry. We surely missed Rockvato after the consistent Pop and R&B comebacks from them, and so we enjoyed jumping and raising our hands to the beats and rhythms of Demi’s Holy Fvck and REVAMPED. But our jumps went so hard that we have awakened another era of Demi Lovato.
While we enjoy several collaborations such as ‘Chula’ with Grupo Firme, ‘Penhasco 2’ with Luisa Sonza, and ‘Papa was a Rolling Stone’ with Slash, we are thrilled by their confirmation that DL9 is definitely coming. Just before their birthday, Demi Lovato in a TikTok live, teases us with some information about the upcoming album. There were no clear dates announced but we were given the hope of having it put out real soon, plus a very teasing smile on the possibility of a Popvato return.
