Artist: Lady Gaga
Title: Born This Way
Anticipated Release Date: May 23
The Buzz: According to Gaga, Born This Way will sound like, "bad kids going to church." Expect a mix of the dance-pop that made her famous, with the addition of an epic, classic rock sound in the vein of Bruce Springsteen and Elton John.
Artist: Britney Spears
Title: TBA
Anticipated Release Date: March (according to Britney's Twitter)
The Buzz: Things are heating up around Britney's upcoming seventh album. Soon enough we'll get a taste of things to come when the Dr. Luke and Max Martin produced lead single, "Hold It Against Me," drops. As for the album, Britney's manager, Adam Leber, told MTV News to expect the unexpected: "It'll be a departure from what you've heard."
Artist: Beyoncé
Title: TBA
Anticipated Release Date: TBA
The Buzz: Last fall we heard rumblings that a new Beyoncé single, co-penned with The-Dream, would be hitting the airwaves and Internets soon. That has yet to pass, but according to another producer, Los Da Mystro, the track was, "INSANE." As for the album itself, according to producer Jim Jonsin, Bey's fourth solo full-length might have an '80s vibe.
Artist: Patrick Stump
Title: Soul Punk
Anticipated Release Date: February
The Buzz: The first solo effort from the Fall Out Boy. What's he going to sound like without his partner in rhyme, Pete Wentz (who wrote the lyrics for their old band)? Well, if the first single, "Spotlight," is anything to go by, we're in for a R&B/arena rock/emo treat.
Artist: No Doubt
Title: TBA
Anticipated Release Date: TBA
The Buzz: No Doubt have been reunited for a little while now, touring with Paramore and reconnecting with fans. They spent much of '10 writing new material, and, as of this writing, had hit the studio to record their sixth studio...23 hours ago! That is, according to the No Doubt Twitter, which has been updating followers on the band's progress. Great to have Gwen Stefani and the boys back.
Artist: Lil' Wayne
Title: The Carter IV
Anticipated Release Date: TBA
The Buzz: Upon being released from prison, Weezy almost immediately hit the studio, recording the ferocious "6'7." If that's anything to go by, expect a clearheaded and hungry Lil Wayne to take us all back to the Carter, soon.
Artist: Blink-182
Title: TBA
Anticipated Release Date: Summer
The Buzz: Blink has been recording, on and off, since the group's reunion in 2008. Drummer Travis Barker told MTV News the album will be "heavy" and pick up where the band left off with the wonderful (and relatively more mature) 2003 self-titled album.
Artist: All-American Rejects
Title: TBA
Release Date: TBA
The Buzz: Main Reject Tyson Ritter has been pretty vague when it comes to details about his band's forthcoming fourth album. Talking to Rolling Stone last year, he said that fans should expect an evolutionary step from the band: "It feels good, feels like something organic that we've been trying to step into for years now." Sounds like things are going well, though; in a recent, somewhat cryptic Twitter message, Ritter said, "Just got a lovely thumbs-up from my mentor that what we are writing for this next record is special."
