New Music Releases 1/9/2026 If you know me at all, you know that I love music. I try to listen to as much as I can. I feel like I have an eclectic taste in music. One of my 2026 goals is to listen to even more music, so I figured one way to hold myself accountable was to start a music blog. It also coincides with my goal to write more, so two birds one stone. Every new music Friday, my goal is to listen to 3-5 new albums and then come here and give you my unfiltered first impressions. Now, I will say, if I really hate the genre, I'm not going to torture myself. And the amount of albums will definitely depend on the number of releases, obviously. The first week of the year is typically relatively light. But we do have three not terrible albums this week, so let's get right into it.
