Zach Bryan
“The Great American Bar Scene”
Zac Bryan has millions of fans — and rightfully so. The talented singer, musician and storyteller has given us “Something in the Orange,” “Pink Skies” and “I Remember Everything” featuring Kacey Musgraves.
While Bryan is classified as a country artist, something separates him from the traditional sound of the genre. I won’t hold Bryan under the constraints of labeling, but I would argue he’s a modern-day folk artist.
Bryan’s latest album, “The Great American Bar Scene,” will be sharing festivities with Independence Day, giving fans more to celebrate on the Fourth of July.
JULY 5
Ken Carson
“More Chaos”
The speculation surrounding this album has been brewing for some time now, but Carson’s newest project, “More Chaos,” is expected to be released this month.
With a full track list released and features from Destroy Lonely and Lil Uzi Vert, the Opium-signed artist has fans in full swing to memorize his newest album just in time for his upcoming tour.
JULY 12
Cigarettes After Sex
“X’s”
I’m personally super ecstatic for this release from the Texas natives. Truly a one of one, the group continues to deliver music that will translate throughout time serving up ballads of love, torture and triumph. Lead singer Greg Gonzalez was blessed with the perfect voice to guide pristine melodies into the ears of listeners.
Remi Wolf
“Big Ideas”
Remi Wolf is criminally underrated with songs such as “Michael” and “Liz” being what initially drew me into her discography.
The California singer has given fans a glimpse of her latest album, “Big Ideas,” with the early release of the single, “Cinderella.” A groovy, alt-pop sound really shines through Wolf.
Clairo
“Charm”
“Bags” singer Clairo releases her third studio album this July— her first self-released album under her own label, Clairo Records.
The singer released a single from the project, “Sexy to Someone,” prior to the album’s drop date.
JULY 19
Jimin
“MUSE”
Also this month, South Korea’s BTS artist Jimin will be releasing “MUSE.”
K-pop has a massive stan base, and many are amped up for Jimin’s second solo project with features from artists Sophia Carson and LOCO.
The album will be released July 19 KST (Korean Standard Time).
JULY 26
Empire of the Sun
“Ask That God”
I squealed when I heard Empire of the Sun was releasing music again. For eight years fans have suffered without new music from the band, but their fourth studio album, “Ask That God,” arrives this month. To aid in the thirst for this new album, the group has given fans a single, “Changes.”
Ice Spice
“Y2K!”
Rapper Ice Spice will be releasing her album, Y2K! this summer.
I’ll reserve my personal feelings for the New York artist due to the anomaly of her success.
Online discourse has revealed mixed emotions toward her debut album with the release of singles, “Gimme A Light,” ‘Think U The Shit (Fart)” and “Phat Butt’ — and honestly, rightfully so. I don’t foresee much longevity for Ice Spice especially with the anticipation of the TikTok ban.
