10 Most Anticipated Albums of 2025: The Weeknd, Lana Del Rey, Mac Miller, and More
Briefly

In 2020, Circles was the first posthumous release from Miller after his death in 2018, and it became his biggest album ever, including the hit Good News. This often-bootlegged collection dates back to 2014, and apparently contains several tracks featuring a then-obscure young singer known as SZA. In announcing the project's release, Miller's family noted that the rapper had gotten so close to finalizing the album that he had commissioned artwork. We believe the project showcases both the breadth of his musical talents and fearlessness as an artist, said the estate.
The final installment in a trilogy that began with 2020's After Hours and continued on 2022's Dawn FM, Abel Tesfaye's sixth studio album will be accompanied by a psychological thriller feature film starring Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan, due out in May. Producers on the new record include Max Martin and Pharrell Williams, and Tesfaye has said that the album is probably [his] last hurrah under The Weeknd persona; I'm definitely trying to shed that skin and be reborn.
Last January, a few months after her mysterious appearance working the counter at an Alabama Waffle House, Lana Del Rey said that an album called Lasso was coming out in September and that she was ditching the dream-pop and going country. As the recording went on and the title shifted to The Right Person Will Stay, she seems to have backed off the strict genre description though she's still headlining the Stagecoach festival in April.
