3 Newly Released Albums That Everybody Is Talking About

What do Olivia Dean, Rosalía, and Florence + The Machine have in common? Well, they’re all singers, they’re all women, and all three have dropped a brand-new album in the past three months. And what albums! In this article I’ll walk you through their latest releases and share a few thoughts along the way.

Love them or not, it’s undeniable that each of them stands out in today’s music scene with voice and identity that leave a mark.

The Art Of Loving - Olivia Dean

Released on September 26, The Art of Loving revolves around the idea of love, toward others and toward oneself, and highlights the jazz and soul roots of the British singer-songwriter. This time, she blends them with the pop and R&B touch that defined her earlier work. The Art of Loving feels like a mature return to where it all began: Olivia’s warm, bluesy voice melts perfectly into both the genre and the autumn season. A classic-meets-contemporary album, ideal for when the leaves begin to fall.

Everybody Scream - Florence And The Machine

Florence Welch, whom I’ve already mentioned in my article on the witchcore aesthetic, released Everybody Scream on October 31st, on purpose. Halloween was indeed the perfect match for the themes and imagery of the new record. Everybody Scream feels like the culmination of her lifelong exploration of trauma, rebirth, mysticism, and magical rites. It frames a womanhood pushed to the edge of madness and then resurrected from the ashes, stronger than before. Through music, lyrics, and symbolism, Florence turns her pain into a cathartic roar, transporting us into a rural, witch-haunted England to speak of timeless wounds and to let us hear her primal scream.

If you’re a fan of Florence, or simply curious about her creative process, don’t miss her Apple TV interview, a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the making of the album.

Lux - Rosalía

Lux by Rosalía has been the most talked about album of the past weeks, and not just because fans didn’t see it coming. The album marks a striking shift in the Catalan singer’s career. Trained in traditional Spanish folk music and flamenco, Rosalía became globally famous for her urban and reggaeton sound, earning massive collaborations across the Latin music scene. Which is why Lux feels so surprising: a classical-symphonic turn, radically different from the streaming-friendly tracks she was known for. It’s a return to her artistic roots and a true concept album. Its themes range from sensual femininity to religious references—plenty of nods to Christianity and saints, starting from the Latin title “light”—to a cosmopolitan sense of shared human experience. This universality emerges both in the lyrics and in her decision to sing in thirteen languages (including Italian, German, Arabic, Latin, Hebrew… alongside Spanish). The lead single Berghain—a tribute to Berlin’s iconic club and a symbol of communal ritual and radical freedom—features a collaboration with Norwegian legend Björk. It’s an album that asks for slow listening, the opposite of fast-consumed, click-bait music. Whether you love it or not, it remains a work that chooses artistic identity over charts and numbers.

Three women who have rightfully dominated the music scene in these past months with their latest releases, and the year isn’t over yet.
