The Most Anticipated Albums of Late 2025: Maroon 5, Sabrina Carpenter, Rosalía, Blackpink, Cardi B & More

Share:

The second half of 2025 is shaping up to be one of the biggest seasons for music in years. We’ve got confirmed dates from heavy hitters like Maroon 5, Sabrina Carpenter, Ed Sheeran, Zara Larsson, Robbie Williams, and Cardi B—plus the possibility of surprise drops from Rosalía, Blackpink, and Daddy Yankee.

Between long-awaited comebacks and fresh, experimental projects, this year’s closing stretch could deliver some of the most talked-about albums of the decade.

On the Rumor Mill: Rosalía, Blackpink & Daddy Yankee

Rosalía has been spending serious time in the studio, teasing new material on social media. While she’s kept the details under wraps, whispers point to a November release blending flamenco, electronic, reggaeton, and pop—her signature genre-bending style. In recent months she’s collaborated with Carolina Durante, Ralphie Choo, and LISA from Blackpink, but fans are ready for her solo work to take center stage again.

Blackpink are currently on their Deadline Tour, previewing the Diplo-penned single Jump. With a new song already out, a full album seems inevitable—it’s just a question of whether it lands before the year ends or in early 2026.

Daddy Yankee has returned from “retirement” with two singles: En el Desierto and Sonríele, the latter an uplifting track about resilience. Rumors of a BTS collaboration are flying, though nothing’s confirmed yet.

Albums With Official Dates

Jonas Brothers – Greetings from Hometown (Aug. 8)

Two years in the making, the JoBros’ latest celebrates the music that shaped them—think Bee Gees, The Beatles—rather than their own early hits. They’re already taking it on tour.

Maroon 5 – Love Is Like (Aug. 15)

Four years after Jordi, Adam Levine and company return with 12 tracks that keep their signature sound while showing growth. Lead singles Middle Ground, Priceless (feat. LISA), and All Night hint at an upbeat but emotionally grounded record.

Sabrina Carpenter – Man’s Best Friend (Aug. 29)

Following the Short n’ Sweet phenomenon, Sabrina’s seventh album—featuring Manchild co-written with Jack Antonoff—packs 12 tracks full of wit, attitude, and storytelling.

Ed Sheeran – Play (Sept. 12)

The start of a new five-album saga, Play is Ed’s “technicolor joy ride” after a dark period, recorded across the globe and finished in Goa, India. Expect a blend of upbeat pop and heartfelt moments.

Cardi B – Am I the Drama? (Sept. 19)

Seven years after Invasion of Privacy, Cardi returns with 23 tracks, including Up, WAP, and the recent Outside. She promises a bolder, more mature sound: “I’m not your villain—I’m your karma.”

Zara Larsson – Midnight Sun (Sept. 26)

Inspired by Sweden’s endless summer nights, Zara’s most personal album yet delivers warm, nostalgic pop, including the single Pretty Ugly. Created with longtime collaborator MNEK, it balances vulnerability and brightness.

Robbie Williams – Britpop (Oct. 10)

Robbie calls it the album he wished he’d released after leaving Take That—raw, guitar-heavy, and anthemic. Lead single Rocket (feat. Tony Iommi) sets the stage for his 2026 tour.
