The post 50 Most Anticipated Albums of 2023 appeared first on Consequence.
No one really should have been shocked by how music unfolded in 2022. Everyone — everyone — was raring to get back out there. Artists that had sat on completed records for two years were finally able to share them with the world, while those who had spent their time cooped up writing new material had fresh songs ready to go. Still, it felt like there was an inundation of albums, which begs the question: Is there anything left for 2023?
Dumb question. Of course there is. With the industry’s wheels turning at full capacity again, we have new music to look forward to from all corners of the landscape. Long-anticipated efforts from Gorillaz, Miley Cyrus, The Smashing Pumpkins, and (fingers crossed) Rihanna are expected. Icons like Depeche Mode, Peter Gabriel, The Cure, and Shania Twain (!) are returning. Breakouts like Måneskin, Shame, Ice Spice, Bartees Strange, and Meet Me @ the Altar will deliver fresh full-lengths.
And then there are those acts we haven’t seen for what feels like ages who are finally gifting us with their presence. Janelle Monáe is stepping off the screen and into our speakers. blink-182 have the classic lineup back together. boygenius are reuniting with each of the members at new peaks in their solo careers. The National are set to put an end to one of the longest gaps between LPs in their career. Frank Ocean. That’s it, just Frank Ocean.
Although it’s early yet — and not all of these releases have been formally announced or confirmed — the stage is set for another strong year for music. If even half of the albums mentioned here live up to their own hype, it’s going to be a challenge making the inverse of this list come year’s end. But that’s a future-us problem; for now, we just can’t wait to hear these 50 anticipated albums.

Editor’s note: Check out our upcoming release calendar to see more albums arriving this year.
January
Måneskin, RUSH! (January 20th)
Italian quartet Måneskin have the rock world in their hands. With Eurovision, VMA, and Grammy recognition, not to mention TikTok virality, they’re well on their way to becoming one of the biggest names in modern rock — and they know it. RUSH!, their third studio, takes on the band’s new reality of stardom. The band’s trademark sassy, in-your-face sound backs themes of fame, sex, youth, and more. We’re beggin’ for it. — Jonah Krueger
Samia, Honey (January 27th)
It’s been over two years since Samia dropped her debut studio album, The Baby, instantly establishing her as one of the most exciting young singer-songwriters. Samia has been teasing LP2 for a little while now, dropping the Pink Balloon / Sea Lions EP in December 2022; it featured a few songs she’d recently released as singles, including “Mad At Me” and “Kill Her Freak Out.” As an artist, Samia plays with different genres and styles, oscillating between vulnerable, sparsely-produced confessionals and shake-your-ass synthpop. Honey features 11 tracks that expand upon the sonic blueprint established on The Baby, with collaborators Christian Lee Hutson, Briston Maroney, Jake Luppen, and Raffaella pitching in across the record. — Spencer Dukoff
White Reaper, Asking for a Ride (January 27th)
For their second major label full-length and fourth overall, Louisville rockers White Reaper are tapping into what works best for them: five guys rocking out together in a room. Early singles “Pages” and “Fog Machine” hint that Asking for a Ride will be driving deeper into a pop punk sensibility, signaling one of the most fun bands in rock is getting even funner. — B. Kaye
The Smashing Pumpkins, Atum: Act Two and Act Three (January 31st/April 21st)
Smashing Pumpkins kicked off a new trilogy with Atum: Act 1 back in November, and acts 2 and 3 are set to be released in January and April, respectively. To celebrate the release of Act 1, Billy Corgan and co. launched a major co-headlining tour with fellow ’90s rockers Jane’s Addiction, and have booked several festival dates already for 2023. Considering the ambitious concept behind Atum and so much more new music on the way, it’s safe to say 2023 will be yet another defining year for Smashing Pumpkins. — Paolo Ragusa
February
Shania Twain, Queen of Me (February 3rd)
The Shania Twain Music Journalism Drinking Game is simple: If you write “let’s go girls!” for anything relating to Timmons, Ontario, Canada’s favorite daughter, you have to drink (meaning many music journalists will be hammered by the time this LP drops). So now that we’ve got that away, let’s talk about Queen of Me. It’s Shania’s first album since 2017 and based on the singles alone, it’s primed to be a good time. A little less country, a little more stadium pop is alright by Twain’s biggest fans, and songs like “Giddy Up!” seem tailor-made to take off on TikTok and introduce Shania to a new generation. If you don’t have fun listening to Queen of Me, you’re probably a boring drip. — S.D.
Yo La Tengo, This Stupid World (February 10th)
The upcoming 17th LP from Yo La Tengo showcases a seasoned indie-rock band in its nearly fourth decade of existence still somehow wanting to engage with This Stupid World. Self-produced and recorded to simulate their inimitable live sound, the trio of Ira Kaplan, Georgia Hubley, and James McNew have already raised expectations with the explosive “Fallout” and the enchantingly atmospheric “Aselestine.” — Bryan Kress
Paramore, This Is Why (February 10th)
Ever since roaring back with the title track for This Is Why, Paramore have stirred already high expectations into a frenzy — each successive single has been more kinetic and urgent than the last. The anxiety-ridden dance rock fits the pandemic era like a glove, and we can hardly wait to hear the full album. — Eddie Fu
Caroline Polachek, Desire, I Want to Turn into You (February 14th)
Caroline Polachek has been ramping up to her sophomore album Desire, I Want to Turn Into You for months now. With standout singles “Bunny is a Rider,” “Billions,” and “Sunset,” Polachek is poised for a release that proves to be even more rewarding than her previous effort, 2019’s Pang. But even more exciting is the nuanced language with which she makes pop music. A song like “Bunny is a Rider” is a great example; there’s something about it that sounds so right, while also feeling slightly wrong. She leans into grey areas and forbidden pleasures to create gripping, high concept pop. — P.R.
P!NK, Trustfall (February 17th)
P!NK has claimed her upcoming ninth studio album, Trustfall, is her “best album to date.” The only slice we have so far is the Max Martin and Shellback-produced “Never Gonna Not Dance Again,” but if her extraordinary output over the last two decades is any indication, more bangers await. P!NK has been steadily reaffirming her legacy in modern pop music, with major 2022 festival appearances at Bottlerock and Austin City Limits and her recent documentary, All I Know So Far. But P!NK finds her stride in her honesty, and Trustfall seems like it’ll be one of her most vulnerable efforts yet. — P.R.
Gorillaz, Cracker Island (February 24th)
It was only a matter of time before Murdoc started a cult. For their follow-up to 2021’s surprise Meanwhile EP, Gorillaz (the virtual counterparts to Damon Albarn and his ever-growing list of collaborators) relocated to Los Angeles’ Silver Lake neighborhood to recruit for their bassist’s cult “in search of the one truth to fix the world.” Early converts (i.e. album guests) include Thundercat, Stevie Nicks, Bad Bunny, Tame Impala, and Beck. — B. Kaye
Shame, Food for Worms (February 24th)
Following 2021’s blood-pumping, brazen Drunk Tank Pink, British post-punkers Shame are set to return with Food For Worms. Set to arrive via Dead Oceans, the band has promised the project is “the Lamborghini of Shame records.” With singles like “Fingers of Steel” and “Six-Pack,” the mad lads might have actually pulled it off. — J.K.
March
Fever Ray, Radical Romantics (March 10th)
It’s been six years since Karin Dreijer has dropped an album under her Fever Ray moniker, but with this year’s Radical Romantics, that’s about to change. Reportedly, work on the record has been ongoing since 2019 and includes notable collaborators like Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross of Nine Inch Nails, Vessel, former The Knife bandmate Olof Dreijer, and more. With two singles already out, our mouths are watering. — J.K.
Miley Cyrus, Endless Summer Vacation (March 10th)
This spring, Miley will be embarking on a sun-drenched trip with her ninth studio album, due March 10th. Endless Summer Vacation is described as Miley’s “love letter to LA,” and the first single, “Flowers,” has led us directly into a dreamy, empowering new era. If the rest of the album is anything like this first track, we’re all in for a treat. — M. Siroky
100 gecs, 10000 Gecs (March 17th)
Flagship hyper-pop weirdos 100 gecs are finally back with what’s effectively their first album of new music since 2019’s 1000 Gecs (no disrespect to the wonderfully fun remixes of 1000 Gecs and The Tree of Clues). Previewed by the three-song EP Snake Eyes, all signs point to the duo having, indeed, upped the gec-age by a factor of 10. — J.K.
M83, Fantasy (March 17th)
For M83’s ninth album, Anthony Gonzalez wants to hearken back to the shoegaze majesty of 2005’s Before the Dawn Heals Us. Synth lovers, do not fret: M83’s signature waterfalls of sound have not gone away, and if lead single “Oceans Niagara” is any indication, it’s the traditional vocal melodies that may be taking the backseat in favor of awe-inspiring guitars and keyboards. As we celebrated the 10th anniversary of M83’s opus, Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming back in late 2021, it was clear to see that the band’s penchant for cosmic, cinematic experiments was deeply missed — so it’s great to have them back. — P.R.
Lana Del Rey, Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd (March 24th)
Lana Del Rey’s ninth full-length album arrives March 10th. Naturally, noted collaborator Jack Antonoff is involved, but the project is also set to feature contributions from Father John Misty, Jon Batiste, and Tommy Genesis. 2021 offered us Chemtrails Over the Country Club and Blue Bannisters, and 2022 was a quieter year, besides an appearance on Taylor Swift’s Midnights. Here’s hoping that Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd feels like Norman Fucking Rockwell!-era Lana. — Mary Siroky
Fall Out Boy, So Much (For) Stardust (March 24th)
Returning while early 2000s nostalgia is at an all-time high, Fall Out Boy apparently went back to basics and took their deliberate time while making So Much (For) Stardust. First single “Love From the Other Side” pushes guitars back to the forefront while demonstrating the band hasn’t lost any of their flair for the dramatic. — E.F.
Depeche Mode, Memento Mori (March TBD)
Following the tragic passing of founding member Andy “Fletch” Fletcher in May 2022, Dave Gahan and Martin Gore announced in October that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band would forge ahead with a new album and tour. While the album title Memento Mori refers to symbols or artistic pieces that serve as a reminder of the inevitability of death, Gahan told Consequence that the theme of the album and its songs were conceived and written before Fletcher’s passing. Expect a haunting and compelling effort from the UK synth-pop legends. — Spencer Kaufman
BABYMETAL, THE OTHER ONE (March 24th)
Japanese pop-metal sensations BABYMETAL are set to return with their fourth full-length album, THE OTHER ONE. Like their previous efforts, the LP comes with an intriguing yet somewhat bewildering story. The album’s 10 songs represent “a unique theme based on 10 separate parallel worlds that they discovered” in a virtual existence known as the “Metalverse.” All that aside, BABYMETAL know how to combine catchy and heavy, as heard on the albums first couple of singles, “Divine Attack – Shingeki” and “Monochrome.” — S.K.
boygenius, the record (March 31st)
It’s been five years since boygenius were a thing, and each of the members’ (Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus, and Julien Baker) profiles have only grown exponentially since then. Like the indie rock Planeteers, they’ve combined their powers once again for the record, a self-produced full-length recorded at Shangri-la Studios. A trio of first listens — “$20” (Baker), “Emily I’m Sorry” (Bridgers), and “True Blue” (Dacus) — show how each artist can shine while blending harmoniously with each other’s powers. Considering the immense talent and long gap between releases, this is easily one of the most anticipated indie rock albums of the year. — B. Kaye
April
Daughter, Stereo Mind Game (April 7th)
It’s been seven years since Daughter’s last studio album, but lead single “Be on Your Way” shows the London trio’s music is no less devastating. It will be interesting to see if the dynamics of the band have changed on Stereo Mind Game, with guitarist Igor Haefeli contributing vocals alongside frontman Elena Tonra for the first time. — E.F.
Metallica, 72 Seasons (April 14th)
72 Seasons will be Metallica’s first new album since 2016, and it takes its name from, “The first 18 years of our lives that form our true or false selves.” Eleven albums in and Metallica show no signs of slowing down. Quite the opposite — lead single “Lux Æterna” rips as fast as just about anything else in their legendary discography. — Wren Graves
Everything But The Girl, Fuse (April 21st)
Everything But The Girl has finally announced a new record after a 24-year break in releases. Work on Fuse reportedly started in March 2021, and the duo went on to secretly record the album’s songs. Led by the single “Nothing Left To Lose,” Everything But The Girl has the potential to make one of pop’s most successful comebacks of 2023. — J.K.
Neil Gaiman + FourPlay String Quartet, Signs of Life (April 28th)
Neil Gaiman has earned the right to do whatever he wants, and on Signs of Life, he’s doing a bit of everything. This collaboration with Australia’s FourPlay String Quartet includes musical renditions of poems, short stories, a “Credo,” and even songs with pop melodies soundtracked by gothic strings. This eclectic collection might be a lot of things, but you can bet it won’t be boring. — W.G.
The National – First Two Pages of Frankenstein (April 28th)
One of the longest gaps between records in The National’s career finally comes to an end with First Two Pages of Frankenstein. Part of the delay had to do with singer Matt Berninger stuck in a depression-induced writer’s block, and adjusting their approach helped him shake the funk and led to “a new era for the band.” That includes road-tested tunes like lead single “Tropic Morning News,” and guest appearances from Phoebe Bridgers, Sufjan Stevens, and yes, pal Taylor Swift. — B. Kaye
TBD (in alphabetical order)
Bartees Strange, TBA (TBA)
Bartees Strange’s Farm to Table hasn’t even celebrated its first birthday yet, but the rising indie star has already started teasing what’s next to come. “It’s been really cool seeing these mentions. Farm to table is cool,” he wrote on Twitter in response to his sophomore record making 2022 year-end lists. “The next one is a motherfucker though.” No word yet on when that motherfucker might grace our ears, but one can hope it’ll be sooner than later. — J.K.
Beyoncé, TBA (TBA)
Beyoncé originally announced last year’s Renaissance as part one of a trilogy — while many speculated that Acts 2 and 3 would be released that year, it’s still unknown exactly when those works will surface. But if the dance-forward euphoria Renaissance is any indication, her following albums will be similarly prolific. Of course, Beyoncé does not simply “release” an album, or put out anything that isn’t meticulously detailed and masterfully crafted. So, when a new era of Bey arrives, expect to be floored (on the dancefloor). — P.R.
blink-182, TBA (TBA)
Well, I guess this is growing up. blink-182 are gearing up to release their first record with their “classic” lineup of Tom, Mark, and Travis in over 10 years, and gauging from their comeback single “Edging,” the trio haven’t lost their trademark brand of hedonistic, breathless, in-your-face pop punk –– and we can’t wait for more. — Cady Siregar
Cardi B, TBA (TBA)
We’ve checked our calendar, and we’re officially coming up on five years since the release of Cardi B’s smash debut album Invasion of Privacy. Frankly, that’s too many years. Luckily, the rapper recently offered an update on its followup, saying that we could expect it in 2023. Ever the perfectionist, however, it seems like she’s the only thing getting in the way: “I need to just make up my mind and put it out,” she told The Breakfast Club. — Abby Jones
Dolly Parton, TBA (TBA)
Despite her attempt to avoid the title, Dolly Parton is now an official Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee. As such, she’s promised an upcoming, true-blue rock and roll record — and the names being thrown around are insane. Steve Albini has offered to produce, there’s plans to cover the likes of Prince and The Rolling Stones, and Steven Tyler, Cher, Paul McCartney, Steve Perry and Stevie Nicks are all set to feature. Tentatively titled Rock Star, hopefully Dolly doesn’t keep us waiting too long before we hear her rock out. — J.K.
Dua Lipa, TBA (TBA)
Released at the dawn of a shocking pandemic, Future Nostalgia couldn’t have been offered at a more desperate time. Dua Lipa’s seismic vision of pop, which combined the effortless disco of Nile Rogers and Jamiroquai with shimmering, contemporary hues, was the escape that thousands of listeners needed while in lockdown. Since Future Nostalgia, Dua Lipa’s profile rose more significantly than ever, cementing her position as pop music’s “It Girl” once and for all. Now, three years later, she faces her biggest test yet: What will the guiding principles be behind Dua Lipa’s long awaited third album? Which styles will she embrace? And how can she possibly top the “Future Nostalgia World Tour”, which was one of the most exciting pop shows of the last decade? Not much is known about her plans for new music, but we’ll hopefully have some answers in the coming months. — P.R.
Frank Ocean, TBA (TBA)
Here’s a promise: Frank Ocean will maybe probably possibly release a new album (unless he doesn’t) in 2023. That’s a guarantee! Listen, nobody knows when or if Frank Ocean will drop new music, which is kinda his whole thing. And while he’s released a few tracks and popped up as a guest on projects like JAY-Z’s 4:44 and A$AP Rocky’s TESTING since releasing his most recent albums — Endless and Blond — it’s been seven years since Christopher Edwin Breaux blessed us with a legitimate LP. Perhaps a headlining appearance at Coachella means new music on the horizon? Or maybe it doesn’t mean anything at all? Maybe he won’t even show up for the Coachella performance? Who knows with this guy — which is precisely one of the reasons he’s so beloved as a mysterious genius. — S.D.
Ice Spice, TBA (TBA)
We’re all feeling Ice Spice, the Bronx rapper who proved there’s still room in the hip-hop world for homegrown, DIY personalities. (She’s also on our Artists to Watch list for ‘23.) With hits like “Munch (Feelin’ U)” and “Bikini Bottom” already in her repertoire, we’re looking forward to all the future club standards to come on a future LP. — A.J.
Jamie xx, TBA (TBA)
The followup to Jamie xx’s acclaimed debut In Colour is imminent, and he’s brought some more friends along this time around. The British producer and member of The xx recently confirmed that his sophomore album is in the final stage of mixing, and euphoric sample masters The Avalanches are lending a hand to the album’s production. Last year, Jamie xx was all over the festival circuit, as well as working on his xx bandmate Oliver Sim’s solo project — but it hasn’t been since 2015 that we’ve gotten a more defined body of work from Jamie xx. So, whatever new project comes about, we’ll certainly be grooving along. — P.R.
Janelle Monáe, TBA (TBA)
Anticipation for a follow-up to Dirty Computer — which some consider one the greatest albums of all time — hasn’t waned since it dropped in 2018. Even as Janelle Monáe transitioned into a Hollywood star, we knew she’d be back in the studio at some point and couldn’t wait to hear what she created. According to Atlantic Records chief Craig Kallman, 2023 will finally be the year. — B. Kaye
Kevin Abstract, TBA (TBA)
The official dissolution of Texas hip-hop collective BROCKHAMPTON in 2022 ended up being a two-part finale, with a surprise, ostensibly solo Kevin Abstract project, titled The Family, preceding the more inclusive group send-off that fans had expected, TM, by one day. Abstract addressed those critics in a statement via Twitter and insisted “this show is over, but the furnace is still glowing.” — B. Kress
Meet Me @ The Altar, TBA (TBA)
Pop punk band Meet Me @ The Altar, who also made our 2023 Artists to Watch list, are worth your time and attention. If you don’t believe us, just ask Hayley Williams of Paramore, who told the group they were “carrying the torch” of the genre. After developing an audience through EP releases, touring, and festival dates, Meet Me @ The Altar will be dropping their debut album in 2023. — M. Siroky
Michael Stipe, TBA (TBA)
Michael Stipe, legendary former frontman of R.E.M., has decided it’s finally time to give a solo career a try. The first taste of what’s to come arrived late last year with the Brian Eno produced “Future If Future.” While little is known about what his first solo record might look like as a whole, he’s characterized it as highly collaborative and accompanied by a visual aspect. — J.K.
Pearl Jam, TBA (TBA)
In a conversation with Detroit’s WRIF radio station, Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard revealed that the band is “gonna try to finish a record here pretty soon.” Though he thought 2024 seemed like a more likely timeframe for the unnamed project’s release, here’s to hoping that we are able to get our grunge on in 2023. — J.K.
Peter Gabriel, i/o (TBA)
With the release of the stunning, Brian Eno-featuring lead single “Panopticom” in early January, it appears that Peter Gabriel has finally prepared his first album of original material in over two decades, titled i/o. Partially confirmed in 2022 by the announcement of a similarly long-awaited solo tour this summer, the singer later shared he would reveal a new song on each full moon before the full project’s arrival. — B. Kress
PJ Harvey, TBA (TBA)
PJ Harvey hasn’t released a proper album since 2016’s The Hope Six Demolition Project, but she’s stayed busy with television and theater scores, narrative poems, and reissues galore. Still, this influx of content has only made us hungrier for LP10, slated for summer 2023: From swaggering blues to delicate folk, no one does guitar music like Polly Jean. — Carys Anderson
Queens of the Stone Age, TBA (TBA)
It’s going on six years since Queens of the Stone Age released a new album. The follow-up to 2017’s Villains is finally in the works, and may even be in the can, as (accidentally?) revealed by Eagles of Death Metal singer Jesse Hughes in October 2022. No matter its current status, fans can expect frontman Josh Homme and company to continue their sonic evolution on their upcoming eighth album while maintaining the band’s unique blend of beautiful melodies and heavy riffs. — S.K.
Rihanna, TBA (TBA)
OK, no, Rihanna has yet to properly announce her elusive, mystical ninth album. However, 2023 is looking promising, as the singer recently shared her first new music in six years and has been confirmed to perform at this year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show; do we really think RiRi, newly with child, would go to all that trouble without putting together a new album? Never say never to a surprise drop on Super Bowl Eve. — A.J.
Romy, TBA (TBA)
Romy has been moving away from the minimalist indie pop of her band The xx in favor of percussive, freeing house jams. Her two collaborations with lauded house producer Fred again.., “Lights Out” and “Strong,” both hearken back to 2000s techno while capitalizing on the now bustling dance scene that has hooked audiences and festival goers everywhere. Her long awaited debut will surely pick up where these singles left off, and hopefully, they’ll still feature Romy’s intimate, authentic vocals. Perhaps bandmates Jamie xx and Oliver Sim — who have both released (or teased) new music in the last several months — will make appearances as well. — P.R.
Saweetie, Pretty Bitch Music (TBA)
In the nearly three years since Saweetie began dropping hints for her full-length debut, Pretty Bitch Music, the California rapper has delivered viral singles and would-be album cuts like “Tap In” and “Best Friend” as well as two EP’s, 2021’s Pretty Summer Playlist: Season 1 and last November’s THE SINGLE LIFE. She told Complex prior to the latter release that “all of this is Pretty Bitch Music. That’s gonna be my album name because that’s my stamp, but this whole movement is Pretty Bitch Energy.” — B. Kress
Sky Ferreira, Masochism (TBA)
To her credit, Sky Ferreira didn’t mean to take 10 years (!) to release a follow-up to her near-perfect debut album, Night Time, My Time. But life, non-musical creative projects, and record label disputes got in the way of her sophomore record seeing the light of day — until now. If her initial singles “Downhill Lullaby” and “Don’t Forget” are anything to go off of, we can only be certain that Masochism, due sometime later this year, is poised to be yet another instant classic. — C.S.
Taylor Swift, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) (TBA)
Taylor’s Versions are an absurdly fun time, and while there was some speculation for a while that reputation would be the next record getting the re-recording treatment, it looks like Speak Now is actually next on the docket. Swift loves leaving Easter eggs in her work, and sleuthing Swifties believe the dots are connecting to point to the beloved third studio album as the next re-release. — M. Siroky
The Cure, Songs of a Lost World (TBA)
Will this year finally be the year that we get a new album from The Cure? Prior to their October 2022 European tour, Robert Smith teased that the band would release their first album in 15 years — but that month came and went with no record, though they performed snippets of new material. So, into 2023 we go with the hopes of Songs of a Lost World being announced at any moment. — C.S.
The Killers, TBA (TBA)
After a rapturous 2022 tour that saw The Killers team up with the likes of Lindsey Buckingham, Bruce Springsteen, and The Smiths’ Johnny Marr along with their late summer single “boy,” the Las Vegas outfit are heading back to the studio triumphantly for their follow-up to 2021’s Pressure Machine. With longtime bassist Mark Stoermer reportedly back in the fold, the core four lineup have targeted early 2023 for their eighth LP. — B. Kress
Thundercat, TBA (TBA)
Thundercat remained active but relatively under-the-radar in 2022 with a feature on Gorillaz’s “Cracker Island;” production work for Kendrick Lamar and JID; a remix of Ryuichi Sakamoto’s “Thousand Knives;” and a sped-up version of “Them Changes” (with billboards!) fueled by the song’s growing TikTok success. New, original solo music from the experimental bassist and producer, however, would have to wait until the new year as anticipation grows for the successor to 2020’s astounding It Is What It Is. — B. Kress
