Summer Music Preview: Sigur, Justin, Fiona
‘Last summer,’ claims The Daily Beast, ‘we were treated to an outstanding season of music, including new albums by indie-dance outfit Foster the People, pop stars Lady Gaga and Beyoncé, crooner Bon Iver’s self-titled Grammy winner, and Watch The Throne, the epic rap album by mega-duo Jay-Z and Kanye West. This year, there’s something for everyone: new pop albums by Usher and his tween protégé, Justin Bieber; the long-awaited LP from one of the hottest rappers in the game, Rick Ross; and new music from moody British rockers The Xx and chanteuse Fiona Apple. Here are the most anticipated music albums hitting iTunes—and record store shelves, for the old school listener—this summer.’
