Some great new sounds for you to check out this month.

KONNAKOL
By Zayn

With KONNAKOL, Zayn Malik steps into a more ambitious artistic phase, five years on from his last album. Drawing from the intricate vocal rhythms of Carnatic music, the album blends contemporary R&B with electronic textures and percussive experimentation. Balancing introspection and sonic exploration, the former One Direction member delivers a dense, intimate record that pushes further away from mainstream pop expectations.

THE GREAT DIVIDE
By Noah Kahan

Scheduled for release on April 24, The Great Divide is the fourth studio album by Noah Kahan and was written and developed across multiple locations, including Vermont, where Kahan grew up, and Nashville, a central hub of the American music industry. The project follows his previous releases while introducing new collaborations, notably with producer Aaron Dessner, known for his work with Taylor Swift and The National. Its songs explore recurring themes in Kahan’s work, including long-distance relationships, a sense of place and home, and emotional strain.

NIGHTLIFE
By Honey Dijon

Honey Dijon returns this April with her first album since Black Girl Magic (2022), marking a new chapter in her club-focussed discography. Released on Classic Music Company, the project brings together a wide range of collaborators including Chlöe, Bree Runway and Greentea Peng. Across 14 tracks, the Chicago-born artist explores house music through a vocal-driven approach, combining dancefloor energy with a strong emphasis on contemporary club culture.
