Carrie Underwood
Universal Music
The eight-time Grammy winner and three-time ACM Entertainer of the Year will unleash ‘Denim & Rhinestones’ on June 10. “We cover a lot of ground on this album,” the superstar said in a statement. “We have a lot of songs that have a bit of a ‘throwback’ feel, but they sound super fresh. I grew up listening to so many different kinds of music and that is extremely evident in this body of work. These are musical influences that are all in me and work their way out, and I just decided this time not to get in their way. I think this whole album ended up being a big reflection of me as a person and as an artist.”

Yes, yes, it was exciting when Posty dropped “One Right Now” back in November, his top-10 collab with the Weeknd. It’s the lead single from his highly anticipated new album, 'Twelve Carat Toothache’, out June 3. But did you catch his remix of the theme song from “Chip ’N Dale: Rescue Rangers”? That was artichokey. Malone’s fourth record features Roddy Ricch, Doja Cat, the Kid LAROI, and more.

The Grammy-winning Canadian icon is trying something new: a meditation album. ‘The Storm Before the Calm’, out June 17, is a collection of guided meditations. The lead single, “Safety—Empath in Paradise”, clocks in at 11 minutes and features hypnotic drumming. This summer, Morissette will hit the road to celebrate the 25th anniversary of ‘Jagged Little Pill’. She kicks off the tour in Ottawa on July 10.

The country superstar and reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year will release his highly anticipated new album, ‘Growin’ Up’, on June 24. “I’ve been working on this album on and off for two and a half years now,” Combs said in a statement. “It was sort of a crazy process through what COVID brought, and what that meant for our touring life last year. It made me have to put a pause on this album for a second, but I’m just really stoked that it’s finally coming out." His tour kicked off last month, and it will bring him to Cavendish, Quebec City, Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, and London between July 7 and November 22.
Conan Gray
Universal Music
The Gen-Z pop king who just made his Coachella debut will release his second album, 'Superache', on June 24. "Jigsaw", the album's grungy banger lead single, has already amassed over 14.5 million Spotify streams.

She's hit #1 on Billboard's Dance Club Chart 50 times, and to celebrate, she'll release 'Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones' on June 24. The record includes her favourite remixes of her chart-topping dance hits and features Britney Spears, Nicki Minaj, Justin Timberlake, and Timbaland.

These unstoppable alt-rockers have planned to put out four albums this year, tied to the seasons, or as Weezer calls them, the "SZNZ". The spring one came out in March, and now with summer on the horizon, they're gearing up to release the "SZNZ: Summer" EP on June 20. The band have proclaimed through a shared Google Sheet (the most rock 'n' roll medium for missives) that the "spiritual flavour" of this release is uncertainty, searching; rejecting Roman pantheon but not yet Christian.

Dine Alone Records
It’s their first full-length album in over 13 years! Canada’s post-hardcore heroes are back with ‘Otherness’ on June 24. The lead single is “Sweet Dreams Of Otherness”. “Over the course of writing this record, it became more of a mission statement for the band,” George Pettit said in a statement. “It’s kind of about performance and embracing a new-found confidence in a state of peculiarity.”
Kevin Gates
Atlantic Records
The Louisiana rapper’s third record, ‘Khaza’, drops on June 17. The new album will include the singles “Bad For Me” and “Big Lyfe.” The TikTok phenom’s tour takes him across the States from August to October, but there are no Canadian dates yet.
Vance Joy
Atlantic Records
The Australian singer/songwriter will release his third record, ‘In Our Own Sweet Time’, on June 10. In a statement, Joy said the lead single, “Clarity”, is very upbeat and poppy. He said his collaborator Dan Wilson told him, “If there is a song you might be a bit shy about because it feels poppy or makes you feel uncomfortable because it’s saying something really directly that’s probably the single. I got that feeling from ‘Clarity'."
Trixie Mattel
Shore Fire Media
The "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars" winner will drop 'The Blonde & Pink Albums' on June 24. Wait, did we just call her a "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars" winner? Well, shame on us because she's so much more than that. She's an author, podcaster, cosmetics company founder, Palm Springs motel renovator, and star of "Trixie Motel", the new show about her renovating said Palm Springs motel. Her new double album features collabs with Shakey Graves and Michelle Branch. Odds are, this release is a winner, winner chicken dinner.
BTS

'Proof', out June 22, is a triple album of new songs, big hits, rarities, and more. You'll hear demos of tracks like "Jump", I Need U", and "DNA", an a cappella version of Jungkook's "Still With You", plus classic jams like "Butter" and "Dynamite". 'Proof' promises to celebrate nine years of BTS magic.
