Music Releases of 2012

The year 2012 is yet another where digital downloads sales will continue to verse CD sales. While some will remain consistent to their loyal fans, others might have to pull up their socks and basically move with the times. Either way, this year promises to deliver on some really pleasurable releases from our favourite and top artists. Save your money because these are hot.

• My favourite has to be the release of 11 year old Willow Smith’s debut album. This will be Willow’s first album after the success of her singles Whip My Hair and 21st Century Girl. Fireball is the single off her first album and this collab with Young Money diva, Nicki Minaj, is on fire. This young dynamite is definitely a ball of talent and in Fireball her strong star power, attitude and catchy lyrics are all on point with the beats. Maybe I'm slowly becoming a fan because April 3 I am on the lookout for the album Willow: You Think You Know Me.
• Nicki Minaj is celebrating Valentines Day by releasing her album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. You’d love to know that this isn’t a rerelease but an album loaded with all new tracks.
• Mariah Carey is scheduled to return to her former stable SONY Music after leaving them in 2000. Since this is where Mariah made some of her greatest hits I reckon its good news overall.
• Girl group Girls Aloud are also making a musical comeback this year with a tour and album dropping only in December though.
• My favourite artist of all time, Brandy is releasing a yet-to-be-titled album. I guess a fresh start is what the Grammy award winning R&B singer will get after joining RCA/Chameleon Records.
• Still on Brandy, 14 years ago she and fellow R&B singer pooled forces and brought us the duet The Boy Is Mine. The two have done it again recording a new duet titled Turn The Lights On. Like Brandy, Monica too is releasing a new album titled New Life this year.
• Madonna comes back with her 12th album M.D.N.A. set for release before end of March after parting ways with Warner Bros. and joining Interscope. Can’t wait.
• Multitalented Chris Brown is also releasing brand new material in March titled Fortune.
• Trespassing is the title of Adam Lambert’s album due out in March with Outlaws and Better Than I Know Myself already out. A rep from the label also spoke of Christina Aguilera, Pink and Kris Allen set to release.
• Don’t wait for long to hear Leona Lewis’ voice as she too is bound to wow our ears.
• Country singer Taylor Swift is also releasing this year with one album she promises to be a bit more mature. The You Belong With Me singer also plans on breaking onto acting.
• If you feel you’ve waited too long to hear from Nelly Furtado, wait no longer. Her English album titled T.S.I is due for release this year.
• We R Who We R singer, Ke$ha is also delivering up on new material this year.

So there you have it all, save money because our artists are working hard to entertain.
