Lachi has made a children’s album with something to say—and plenty to sing, dance and fidget along to. Her debut family album, Magnificent, released through Platoon Kids and co-produced with Lucy Kalantari and Andrew & Polly, brings pop, hip-hop and global sounds together across 10 songs celebrating disability, neurodiversity, identity and the many different ways kids experience the world.

October London has built his career on a deep appreciation for classic soul, and Love Me For Me gives that sound plenty of room to breathe. Produced fully by Snoop Dogg, Soopafly and MyGuyMars, the 10-track album wraps London’s unmistakably smooth voice in warm instrumentation while turning its attention to love in all its complicated forms: desire, commitment, vulnerability and the need to be accepted as you are.

Madison Beer has always had a knack for making polished pop feel deeply personal, and on locket, she brings those two sides of her music closer together than ever. Written and co-produced by Beer, the album is her most exciting, visceral collection of songs to date and firmly plants the flag as one of the marquee pop records to rule 2026.

Multi-GRAMMY® winner Stanley Clarke has spent his career refusing to stay in one musical lane, and Last Train to Sanity continues that tradition on his own terms. Self-funded to give Clarke and his musicians complete creative freedom, the project moves through jazz, fusion and contemporary sounds while keeping his unmistakable bass voice at its center.

On his sixth studio album, FUJI (Sometin Different/Believe UK), Adekunle Gold brings the music of his past into the artist he has become today. Drawing from Fuji and Apala alongside Afropop, soul and R&B, the Nigerian singer-songwriter has created an album that feels rooted in tradition without being confined by it.

Some albums begin with a melody. For Matt B, ALKEBULAN III: The Water Remembers began with a question: Where do I come from? What started with an AncestryDNA® test six years ago eventually led the GRAMMY® Award-winning artist from Los Angeles to Ghana and Nigeria, where he traced his lineage to the Igbo people of Owerri and turned that homecoming into the foundation for the most personal installment of his ALKEBULAN trilogy.
