A number of hitmakers from different genres are scheduled to release their album late this summer.
Last August 21 saw the release of Bon Jovi's newest album, "Burning Bridges" . The "fan album" is a 16-track collection,that features his newly recorded single "We Don't Run." It also includes the artist's two solo songs, "Beautiful Day," the song he recorded for "Finding Neverland: The Musical," and "Start Your Own Revolution," a song he wrote and performed for the commencement address he delivered at Rutgers early this year.
It is the band's 13th album and sadly the final one for Mercury Records.
Second on the list is Carly Rae Jensen's most recent album, "E*MO*TION."
When her hit single, "Just Call Me Maybe" made a huge success four years ago,she wanted so much to prove that she's not just a one-hit wonder. With the success of "E*MO*TION", already earning nearly 70,000,000 views from extensive airplay and its video that featured Tom Hanks, she did just that!
It seems that Jensen took no chances with her new album, as she collaborated with A-list producers and co-writers. The list includes Sia, Greg Kurstin (Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger" ), Peter Svensson (Cardigans, and Ariana Grande's "Love Me Harder"), Ariel Rechtshaid (Haim, Madonna, Vampire Weekend), Mattman & Robin (Taylor Swift), Carl and Rami (Ariana Grande's One Last Time ), Rostam Batmanglij (Vampire Weekend), Devonté Hynes (Blood Orange), Shellback (Maroon 5, Taylor Swift) and others.
Next on the list is the American singer, songwriter and the frontman of Matchbox Twenty, Rob Thomas, who unleashed his third solo album, "The Great Unknown." The album featured 13 tracks, and the first single "Trust You," which he collaborated with the lead singer of the pop rock band OneRepublic, Ryan Tedder.
Last, but far from the least is the fifth album of Leona Lewis, "I Am". The London raised singer-songwriter Leona Lewis is set to make a comeback with it, which is slated to be released on September 11, under Island Records. It is the first after the singer left Simon Cowell's Syco label.
The Bleeding Love hitmaker said, "I feel like people are still getting to know me here [in the U.S.]." the singer added, "I Am" is "about empowerment and inner strength. It's meant to leave peoplewith something uplifting. A positive message."
