This year’s Fall Preview consists of all the entertainment — from TV to video games to classical music — that Vulture writers and editors are excited to consume this season. Below, our albums list:
Jump to: September | October | November
Play, Ed Sheeran
September 12
Sheeran’s boisterous new singles, such as “Sapphire” (partly recorded in Goa, India) and “Azizam” (there’s a Persian version featuring Iranian superstar Googoosh), all point to an album of stadium-size pop anthems.
Am I the Drama?, Cardi B
September 19
“Outside” and the Jay-Z-sampling “Imaginary Playerz,” from Cardi’s long-awaited sophomore album, are vicious with heaps of hate seemingly directed at her ex Offset and other enemies. They’re a reminder that while the Grammy winner has become a big celebrity, she is firstly a ferocious New York rapper.
I’m Only Fucking Myself, Lola Young
September 19
The British upstart broke through on TikTok with a retro pop sound and cheeky lyrics; her new album (if you couldn’t tell by the title) is a raunchy romp indebted equally to Amy Winehouse and Britney Spears.
Vie, Doja Cat
September 26
Doja posing in front of the Eiffel Tower, taking a bite out of a baguette, and petting a poodle in her album announcement all suggest it will be effortlessly French. Vie, after all, means “life” in that language. The feisty singer and rapper has also said it will be “pop-driven,” as evidenced by the Jack Antonoff co-produced lead single, “Jealous Type.”
Twilight Override, Jeff Tweedy
September 26
On this 30-song triple album, the Wilco front man narrates a shambolic, lovely folk-rock odyssey well worth sinking into.
Here For It All, Mariah Carey
September 26
The first singles from Carey’s 16th album are dripping with braggadocio with her inimitable voice wafting like smoke.

Michelangelo Dying, Cate Le Bon
September 26
Le Bon’s fellow Welsh native, the legendary songwriter John Cale of the Velvet Underground, guests on this album of stately guitar rock.
100 Sound Effects, Fred Armisen
September 26
Armisen’s new album does just what it says on the tin. Is it comedy? Performance art? Ambient music? Weird jazz? Why choose!
Lovin’ You, Richard Ashcroft
October 3
The Verve front man delivers a bluesy and raw new solo album on the heels of opening for Oasis’s massive reunion tour.
The Life of a Showgirl, Taylor Swift
October 3
What’s a Taylor album with no heartbreak? We’ll find out soon. According to No. 1 Swiftie Travis Kelce and his brother Jason, all 12 songs are “bangers.”
Rest Here, Car Culture
October 9
New York City staple DJ and producer Physical Therapy stretches out on a trippy, blissful album by his impressionistally psychedelic alter ego.
Deadbeat, Tame Impala
October 10
The masters of blissed-out festival vibes return with an album inspired by the electronic music that soundtracked early incarnations of Australian-wilderness raves.
The BPM, Sudan Archives
October 17
The singer-songwriter blends her fierce and trusty violin with R&B, disco, soul, hip-hop, and house music, making something that feels funky, urgent, and infectious.
Some Like It Hot, Bar Italia
October 17
Miss the Strokes? Have we got a record for you. Bar Italia are slack and sexy, and their new album is rock and roll at its most electrifying.
Episodes, Gucci Mane
October 17
The provocative rapper’s new album will be accompanied by a memoir of the same name, subtitled The Diary of a Recovering Mad Man.
hooke’s law, keiyaA
October 31
The nimble torch singer finds her groove on this album of bold and futuristic R&B. Its 19 short and punchy songs include one in which she tells you she hates you and another in which she is truly desperate for you to be quiet.
A Jackal’s Wedding, Westerman
November 7
Folk rock gets an update with this lush collection of songs that highlight Westerman’s broad vocal range from impassioned baritone to vulnerable soprano.
