Spring usually offers cheerful sounds, and the promise of summer’s music might still arrive as well. Hopefully, it will, because the very idea of summer sounds joyful! Luckily, new albums released in April are expected to bring a lot of happiness.
Don’t forget Record Store Day on April 18th! That’s when new reissues, live albums, and special releases come out – it’s an event music lovers eagerly anticipate all year.
Some new releases coming out in April are expected to be very popular and may sell out quickly, similar to Record Store Day. The biggest day for these releases is April 24th, so if you’re still looking to buy music after Record Store Day, that’s the day to do it.
