New Music Friday: Metallica, Bruno Mars and more release new albums
It’s our favourite time of the week – New Music Friday is the new tunes fix you need to get your weekend started. This week we’ll be listening to Metallica, Bruno Mars, Miranda Lambert and more.
What’s even better about New Music Friday is that you can also listen to a lot of the new releases live! We’ve found the artists who’ve got new records out and are about to take them on tour. Double win!
Metallica – Hardwired… To Self-Destruct
Okay, Metallica aren’t about to head on tour (as much as we wish they would), but their new album is too good to leave out of this list. It’s out today so get your hands on the vinyl or CD now.
Bruno Mars – 24k Magic
Back with his first studio album since 2012’s Unorthodox Jukebox and what’s even better Bruno Mars will be on tour next year across Europe. None other than Halle Berry lends her guest vocals to smooth tune Calling All My Lovelies. Tickets for the 24k Magic tour are on sale on Monday via Ticketmaster.co.uk.
Miranda Lambert – The Weight Of These Wings
Country music’s sweetheart Miranda Lambert showcases her incredible songwriting skills and what it’s like putting yourself back together after heartbreak. We love the duality of her new double album The Weight of These Wings with one side called The Nerve and the other one named The Heart. Listen to it now to bridge the time until her big UK tour next summer. Don’t miss out on tickets and book them here.
Little Mix – Glory Days
Attention Mixers! Your girls have a new record out today and it’s glory-ous. Perrie, Leigh-Anne, Jesy and Jade knew exactly what they wanted the album to sound like and it’s killer chart-pop. Of course it also includes #1 single Shout Out To My Ex. There’s still a few remaining tickets for the girls’ huge 2017 tour via Ticketmaster.co.uk.
