Chemtrails Over the Country Club was delayed due to the pandemic, but LanaDelReystayed inspiredlastyear,releasingherfirstbookofpoetryand announcing an album of standards that will hopefully be released soon. She
recently revealed the Chemtrails title track and trippy visuals, which include Old Hollywood-style imagery, goldfish in plastic bags, rotary phones, and, uh, werewolves. The album arrives in March, and if it's anything like Norman
Fucking Rockwell!, it will have some classic California camp ballads for us to sloppily sing at karaoke — presumably in our bedrooms this time.
In an October profile for British GQ, Sade confirmed that the band is recording new music at its lead singer's home in Gloucestershire, anticipating a new album and “contemplating another tour” whenever it's
safe to go on the road again. This will mark the official end of the band's third hiatus and their first new studio album since 2010's Soldier of Love. In the meantime,they'vereleasedacompletevinyl reissueoftheircatalogue,
and in 2018, the band recorded two soundtrack singles: “Flowers of the Universe,” for the Disney adaptation of A Wrinkle in Time, and “The Big
Unknown,” for the Steve McQueen film Widows.
Roddy Ricch had the biggest song of 2020 with “The Box,” and his debut album, Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial, won glowing reviews. The Compton rapper prefers to see all of that as a starting point for even bigger
things: “The first album was just my first album,” he told RS last year. “I've got to remind people of that all the time. Yeah, it was big. I had big songs on there. But that was the first time I ever even did that shit.” Let's just say
expectations for his next album, due out this spring, are sky high.
