If you’re sick of binge-watching all your favorite Netflix and Hulu shows, you can always turn on some good music. Although most of us are quarantined, we still have new albums coming out almost every day. Below are some of the best albums that have been released so far in 2020.

Suddenly by Caribou



Five years after the release of his popular Our Love album, Dan Snaith is back with Suddenly. It is a mash-up of different influences such as new-age jazz and hip hop.

Walking Like We Do by The Big Moon



This indie-rock band presents their second studio album inspired by Frank Ocean and James Blake. Definitely listen to “Your Light,” their breakout hit that is completely infectious.



Big Conspiracy by J Hus

Momodou Lamin Jallow brings us thought-provoking songs in his new album Big Conspiracy, with songs like “Must Be” and “Deeper Than Rap.”



Color Theory by Soccer Mommy

At only 22 and on her second studio full-length album, Sophia Allison brings us original and personal songs that remind us of early Death Cab for Cutie.



3.15.20 by Childish Gambino

Having received raving reviews by critics as the first truly outstanding album of the decade, Childish Gambino’s new album touches on many important issues we are seeing in the world today, making it incredibly relevant.



Circles by Mac Miller



Mac Miller’s unreleased album, Circles, is a mix of rock, soul, rap, jazz, and folk and is considered to be one of his finest posthumously. Listen to “Good News” and “I Can See.” RIP to a legend.

After Hours by The Weeknd

The Weeknd continues to evolve and reinvent himself, which is why his new album will be adored by his current fans but also will capture new audiences.

Silver Landings by Mandy Moore

Mandy Moore continues to show she can change with the times and creates even more catchy pop songs in her newest album, Silver Landings.

Every Bad by Porridge Radio

This extremely nuanced album makes it stand out from other indie rock bands that are similar to Porridge Radio but still give us that familiar sound we want.

Storm Damage by Ben Watt

Ben Watt has created some great songs with witty lyrics in his new album. Take a listen to “Hand,” “Summer Ghosts,” and “Festival Song.”
