New Album

Sting has never hid his pretensions. In fact, he's gone out of his way to flaunt them, going all the way back to the Police, when he casually referenced Vladimir Nabokov in the band's first Top 10 U.S. hit and then explored Jungian philosophies on the band's biggest-selling album. Things only got worse with his solo career.

It's possible that a new Queen album with vocals by Freddie Mercury could be coming out in the near future. Over the weekend, guitarist Brian May said that the band discovered some new previously unreleased material in its archives.

On paper, Elvis Costello's new album 'Wise Up Ghost' -- which finds the rock legend teaming up for a full-length collaboration with the Roots -- is one of the more intriguing records of the year. Now, thanks to NPR, we get to hear how it all turned out, a week before the record's Sept. 17 release.

It's been a long time coming, but Elton John's new album, 'The Diving Board,' is almost here. To ease the wait until the record's Sept. 24 due date, John has just released a video for its second single, 'Mexican Vacation (Kids in the Candlelight).'

Paul McCartney has released the first single (and title track) from his upcoming 16th solo album, 'New.' You can listen to it above.

The Beach Boys' 2012 reunion album was released during the group's 50th-anniversary celebration. But more than just marking a milestone, 'That's Why God Made the Radio' strapped itself into a time capsule and did its best to rocket itself back to 1962 or at least to 1967 (or maybe 1972).

It looks like Paul McCartney won't be the only high-profile guest star on the upcoming release from Italian musician Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo, a.k.a. Bloody Beetroots.

Sammy Hagar has treated his post-Van Halen solo career like one big party, and with his latest release, he's rounded up an undeniably impressive guest list.

How do you put together a solo album when people are used to hearing your voice used as a conduit for one of rock's greatest songwriters? It's a nice problem to have, but it's also keeping Roger Daltrey from rushing into recording new solo music.

Couldn't make it to any of the shows Def Leppard delivered during the band's recent Las Vegas residency? No problem. The band is bringing the music to you.
