New year, new artists, new music, and new albums.

In 2013, we saw major releases by major artists like Beyonce, Drake, Jay Z, Justin Timberlake, Kanye West, Lady Gaga, and the list goes on and on.

Despite releasing an album six months ago, Kanye West is back in the studio working on his Yeezus follow-up. During his time at Miami’s Art Basel, the “Black Skinhead” rapper revealed he was gearing up to release an eight-track album in summer 2014.

As the year came to an end, Pharrell Williams announced a new solo deal with Columbia Records, which means fans should prepare themselves for a new project from the super producer. Responsible for some of 2013’s biggest hits (“Blurred Lines” and “Get Lucky” to name a few), we know Pharrell’s gift to create great music isn’t wavering.

Other artists like Adele and Frank Ocean have admitted to being in the studio working on their new projects, but both have been a little mum about their respective release dates. Frank Ocean did tease that his Channel Orange follow-up would be ready sometime around the “summer” of 2014.

Although we’re hoping Kendrick Lamar is readying a new album, as of now, the Compton native hasn’t mentioned any specifics about a new projects 2014.
