As the new fall season arrives, so do a wide variety of new music albums. With genres such as pop, rock, country and rap, the new releases coming out this month have something to offer everyone.
Zac Brown Band — “You Get What You Give" Scheduled for release on Sept. 21, “You Get What You Give” provides a variety of country songs using instruments such as the fiddle, pedal steel guitar and more.

The Zac Brown Band is scheduled to soon be in the area for a live performance at the Oklahoma City Zoo Amphitheatre on Sept. 16.
Maroon 5 — “Hands All Over” Get your hands on Maroon 5’s “Hands All Over” album available for purchase on Sept. 21. With tracks such as “Misery” and “Give a Little More," this pop- rock album is sure to be a hit. Maroon 5 begins touring again next month, stopping a couple hours away in Tulsa on Oct. 19.
Sara Bareilles — “Kaleidoscope Heart” With Bareilles’ passion for piano at the heart of the album, “Kaleidoscope Heart” releases on Sept. 7. From slower-paced melodies such as “Hold My Heart” and energetic beats, like in “King of Anything,” this pop album covers many common emotions of the heart and has a beat sure to get anyone moving.
Kenny Chesney — “Hemingway’s Whiskey” To everyone who loves Chesney’s latest hit, “Boys of Fall,” you will not want to miss the release of “Hemingway’s Whiskey” on Sept. 28. This country album opens with “Boys of Fall” and includes several other meaningful songs. The title of the album refers to the author of Chesney’s favorite book, Ernest Hemingway. Like Hemingway’s words impacted Chesney, this album is sure to inspire any listener with strong lyrics and a compelling beat.
T. I. — “King Uncaged” Released from prison earlier this year (nice!), T.I. was recently arrested again on drug charges (not so nice!). Now, the release date of his latest album, “King Uncaged," is up in the air. The album includes “I’m Back” and “Got Your Back” featuring Keri Hilson. Also, look for T.I. starring in the thriller “Takers” currently showing in theaters.
Other popular artists releasing albums this month include Lil’ Wayne, Linkin Park and Santana.
