The Strokes, Solange, Kanye and more

We're only half way through March and already 2013 has been packed with exciting new releases. Atoms For Peace and David Bowie have both released hotly anticipated albums, and Justin Timberlake drops his comeback record next week, not to mention all the other fantastic new albums that've come through the Gigwise office so far this year.

But there's plenty more to come in 2013 when it comes to album releases. Beyonce's due to release a comeback record of her own, Snoop's going to show us that he really is a reggae artist now and, of course, Daft Punk are set to release their fourth studio album.

Gigwise has put together a list of the 12 albums we're most looking forward to hearing this year. There's plenty more than this to get excited about, but these are the ones we really can't wait for.
