Upcoming album releases: 13/02/2026

February 13 brings one of the most packed release days of the early year, covering a wide range of scenes — from mainstream pop and soul to extreme metal and punk. Among the most notable releases is Mumford & Sons with Prizefighter, marking a new chapter for the band after a period of pause and experimentation with release formats, as well as Charli XCX — Wuthering Heights, another studio album from an artist firmly established at the crossroads of pop music and experimental electronics. Also arriving that day is Jill Scott — To Whom This May Concern, an important release for fans of neo-soul and R& B, given the singer’s long-standing status as one of the genre’s key figures for over two decades.

The date is equally significant for fans of alternative and heavy music. Converge present Love Is Not Enough, a new album from a band that continues to serve as a reference point for the hardcore and metalcore community, while Story Of The Year return with A.R.S.O.N., continuing their post-hardcore path with a focus on melody and live energy. Listeners drawn to more extreme sounds will also find releases from Worm — Necropalace, Slaughterday — Dread Emperor and Malefic — Impermanence, each representing different branches of death and black metal. Special attention also goes to Gogol Bordello — We Mean It, Man!, where the band once again embraces its signature folk-punk sound.

The indie, pop and electronic sectors are also well represented. Chet Faker releases A Love For Strangers, continuing his solo discography outside the Nick Murphy project, Danny L Harle — Cerulean reinforces the producer and composer’s presence on the experimental pop scene, while Claire Rosinkranz (My Lover), JP Cooper (Just a Few Folk) and Caroline Jones (Good Omen) bring more intimate, song-driven releases to the day. Spanish-speaking audiences will welcome Soraya Arnelas — Ilúmina and OBK — Vértigo, while alternative rock fans will find new material from Demob Happy, Exsonvaldes and La Sonrisa de Julia. Overall, February 13 shapes up as a date where major names stand alongside niche artists, creating a diverse and genre-spanning musical landscape.
