2002 has been a pretty good music year for me. A lot of my favorite bands/musicians put out new albums. Amon Tobin, Bjork, a new Ani DiFranco Live album, etc...

But suddenly it's like I've hit a wall and have no new music to look forward to. No upcoming release date to count down the days towards... I'm hoping for Xenophobia sometime in 2003, but that's just a wish.


What new music are other orgers looking forward to in 2003??

xenophobia !

More 80's Covers..it's always interesting to see who's doing it and what it sounds like.

I'm up for whatever Mr. Bowie has up his sleeve next year...I'm sure the new Radiohead will be worth a listen..I read that Beck wants to release two new albums next year, which should be a treat...hmmm...we already have the new Missy Elliott, which I'm sure I'll be wearing out through spring...new Kate Bush, maybe? Nah...could never happen...

Definitly Radiohead as well as the solo albums from the members of Outkast. Others possibilities include Fiona Apple,Portishead,Erykah Badu,Stevie Wonder.

Kate Bush - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get off your ass and deliver. 10 years is ripping the piss big time! If she does release her album next year i'll probably die from shock!

Looking forward also to Radiohead, Beck, Fiona Apple and Stevie Wonder. And hopefully we'll get new albums from George Michael, Fleetwood Mac and Bjork. Not sure about David Bowie - he's not as prolific as he once was but i guess he's given us enough already.

New Edition
Janet Jackson

I was really looking forward to Beck's new album (Sea Change), but was severely disappointed, so much that I was in shock after the CD ended. I almost brought it back to the store to get a refund simply because I couldn't stand it. Unbelievable!

So Beck is off my list of people who I'll spend money on. It's sad...

But Radiohead will be a for-sure buy. I didn't know they had a new album in the works! And I've given up on getting a new album from Kate Bush. She should sing with Prince again.

***Madonna's new CD is due in March 2003.Confirmed tracks include "American Life","Die Another Day" and "Hollywood".The first single drops in January.

Michael Jackson,Earth,Wind&Fire,Fleetwood Mac,George Michael,Stevie Wonder,Teena Marie,hopefully Tuck&Patti will drop something?

OutKast solo albums
Madonna...though if the new album sounds mostly like Die Another Day, I'll pass.

funny you mention Outkast I Heard that Dre is gonna be doing a 70's Based Movie.yeah that double 20 Song Set from each member is a year overdue.Madonna I'll Peep it but not expecting alot.but next year should be real interesting for Her.

Raven said:

The early "buzz" is great! Insiders are saying these new songs don't sound like ANYTHING she has ever done before.In fact,the first single will NOT be a Mirwais song at all.

Kate is definately making an album, she said so herself so it's not just a hopeful rumour. The issue is WHEN we get it.

The remasters were due two years ago and never surfaced.
Only Kate could delay albums that have already been made!

The movie's called "Love Hater". It's supposed to be a Romeo & Juliet type of story. Dre's album will double as the soundtrack.

I hope she's working with William Orbit again.

Raven said:

Unfortunately,William Orbit won't be involved this time.I think she wants to move away from techno.On this CD,she is working with a French duo called Air,also Paul Oakenfold,Dr.Dre,Mirwais and her keyboardist from the Drowned World Tour,Stuart Price.Should be interesting!

Are you serious? I heard M was trying rap. Is this who she's working with for that track?

Raven said:

I think so.She says the rap song she recorded was "inspired by Eminem" and since Dre also produces Eminem,I think he also produced the Madonna rap song.Can't wait to hear it!

Third Eye Blind
Duran Duran
Teena Marie
Earth Wind & Fire

sort of daft punkish but not really.the album drops this year on EMI. imagine them doing a Prince remix like the basement jaxx did (and never released) "all the critics love you"! good stuff.
