full list of album and song releases

Happy New Music Friday on this, the 20th of February of 2026! It’s a a headline week—what with next week’s lineup, I won’t quite say marquee—with Mumford & Sons, Baby Keem, and Hilary Duff all dropping full-length albums that feel built for the first-play rush. Morning subwoofers are going to put some serious early work in at the gym, as it were. Country and singer-songwriter worlds keep the emotional stakes high, while indie and legacy names lean into mood, craft, and atmosphere. Early reviews are already sketching a pretty clear shape for this week’s drop: Mumford & Sons are getting framed as a confident rebrand, more raw craft and earnest collaboration than some of their kickdrum bombast, while Hilary Duff is being received as glossy, grown-up pop that leans just enough into nostalgia.

I run through a comprehensive list of the top new music dropping on Spotify and other streaming services during this week’s major release window.
