Okay, so May isn’t officially summer, but when new music starts dropping, it totally feels like it. I’m definitely happy about it! And honestly, even stuff that’s supposed to be dark and heavy, like some black metal, can be a blast. Music is just fun, no matter what.
May 2026 is shaping up to be an amazing month! There’s something for everyone each week, no matter what kind of entertainment you enjoy.
The end of the month promises some exciting new music. While Paul McCartney’s new release is definitely worth checking out, it might not be the biggest highlight of the week. Here’s a rundown of all the May releases you should know about.
May 2026 full album release (and it’s going to be great)
May 1
- American Football – LP4
- Ana Roxanne – Poem 1
- Asake – M$NEY
- Geordie Gordon – River Round

Kacey Musgraves’ new release is the biggest one this week, but there’s plenty of other great music coming out, including a new album from The Black Keys. It’s also interesting to see Maya Hawke and Rita Wilson, both known as actors, releasing music that could be really good.
May 8
- Aldous Harding – Train On The Island
- Basement – WIRED
- Broken Social Scene – Remember the Humans
- Cola – Cost Of Living Adjustment
- Croz Boyce – Croz Boyce
- GIRLI – it’s just my opinion
- Loraine James – Detached From The Rest Of You
- Lykke Li – The Afterparty
- MUNA – Dancing On The Wall
- Nicholas Krgovich – Boss Tape
- Olof Dreijer – Loud Bloom
- Shye Ben Tzur, Jonny Greenwood and The Rajasthan Express – Ranjha
- Social Distortion – Born To Kill
- The Lemon Twigs – Look For Your Mind!
Absolutely, bring on Social Distortion! Early releases from their new album sound really promising, which is a great sign of things to come.
May 15
- All-American Rejects – Sandbox
- Drake – Iceman
- Dua Saleh – Of Earth & Wires
- Kevin Morby – Little Wide Open
- Maisie Peters – Florescence
- Maluma – Loco x Volver
- Rostam – American Stories
- Spencer Krug – Same Fangs
- The Field – Now You Exist
Wouldn’t it be interesting if Drake and All-American Rejects made a song together? It might not be a hit, but I think it’s an idea worth exploring. Anyone else think so?
May 22
- Alela Diane – Who’s Keeping Time?
- Bleachers – everyone for ten minutes
- Ed O’Brien – Blue Morpho
- Future Islands – From A Hole In The Floor To A Fountain Of Youth
- Thomas Dollbaum – Birds Of Paradise
- Visible Cloaks – Paradessence
Ed O’Brien’s solo release is one of several side projects from Radiohead members this year. Unlike some bands where solo efforts consist of unused material, these projects – including O’Brien’s – appear to be strong, independent works.

- David Torn – now i imagine a place not the same
- Dogstar – All In Now
