As for the rumours, we’re keeping our eyes and ears peeled for albums from Lorde, Chappell Roan and Bruno Mars. It’s been five years since British singer-songwriter FKA Twigs released an album and excitement has been building for her third studio album. Eusexua – a word FKA Twigs made up to describe a sensation of transcendental euphoria – will have a techno influence. The artist moved to Prague while shooting superhero film The Crow and says she fell in love with its underground music scene. Get your austere clubbing outfits ready – Eusexua producer Koreless reportedly came up with the single Drums of Death on his way to perform at Berghain in Berlin.

January 24. Canadian singer The Weeknd’s sixth studio album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, is due at the end of this month. It’s a momentous time for the artist, who has hinted this may be his last album as The Weeknd before he switches to releasing under his real name: Abel Tesfaye. It will complete the trilogy of albums he started in 2020 with After Hours followed by Dawn FM in 2022 – fuelling fan theories that The Weeknd is putting his own spin on Dante’s Divine Comedy. Tesfaye has also scripted a psychological thriller based on the album and sharing its name. Starring Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan, the film is due out in May.
