Upcoming Album of the Week (Ending March 12)

Kanye West has proclaimed that he will release three more albums this year. While his inability to release one album last year leaves me doubtful, if it does actually happen, keep an eye on my Upcoming Releases page for their release dates and artwork. You can see other, non-Kanye albums set to come out, as well!

There were a huge number of new albums announced this week, but I will focus on a new album announced by Natasha Khan under her best-known moniker, Bat for Lashes. This week, she announced the project's fourth album, The Bride.

The announcement came after some hinting back in February of something arriving on July 1. She released a new song, "I Do," and posted a picture of a "save the date" card. Most presumed it would be the date of a forthcoming album (the date was a Friday, after all), but you couldn't rule out the possibility she was inviting all of her fans to an upcoming wedding!



Turns out, it was the latter. The album comes four years after the incredible The Haunted Man and just a year after her self-titled collaboration, as Sexwitch, with the band TOY. The official announcement came with another new song, "In God's House."

The Bride is set for release July 1.
