13 Albums We Can’t-Wait to Stream: October 2021

K-Pop comebacks, holiday-themed albums and more

We welcomed October with a much-anticipated EP release from PARADISE RISING, Globe and 88rising’s brainchild. With a new ensemble of artists—both homegrown and diasporic—semilucent 2 is an ode to another side of paradise. 

More thrilling releases are slated for the rest of the month, including K-Pop comebacks from some of the most beloved Korean acts today—SEVENTEEN, Twice and aespa. Meanwhile, Christmas comes early with holiday-themed albums from Glee alum Darren Criss, jazz favorite Norah Jones and American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson. On another note, there’s always room for indie music, with new releases from Lana del Rey, HONNE, Oh Wonder and Wet.
