” We list the most requested album leaks this coming winter “

Relax, it’s still autumn – But winter is closing in and we’ve got to continue our series of most requested album leaks of 2013. Actually, there are some titles who are set for a 2014 release. But we don’t want to repeat this summer’s leak list where we totally forgot about Drake – So we’re making sure we’re covering as much ground as possible.

But yes, we’re painfully aware that you guys are going to point out the albums we’ve forgotten this time around (actually we appreciate your help, really). Meanwhile, we’re preparing for our big site revamp, titled Has it Leaked 2, and set for a November release. But enough talk, here are the most wanted album leaks set for a late 2013/early 2014 release. And don’t forget to tells us about the titles you look forward to!

ELECTRONIC

2. BLOOD ORANGE : CUPID DELUXE

3. NILS FRAHM : SPACES

Electronic | November 18

4. CHROMEO : WHITE WOMEN

Electronic | TBA

5. GESAFFELSTEIN : ALEPH

Orchestral | October 29

… AND

We also got Laurel Halo and her album Chance of Rain. It has indeed leaked but only as a low-quality rip since Hyperdub are smart enough to release their promos in 32000khz / 80kbps [Edit: It leaked as a high quality rip just as we wrote this piece]. And an album which never leaked, but was released just yesterday, Vatican Shadow‘s Remember Your Black Day. Incredible stuff. Oh, and we really want Phantogram to give us details on their upcoming full-length album. And finally – A few Twitter users told me to mention Juana Molina‘s orchestral piece WED 21. And we like our Twitter followers, so why not?

The debate regarding Eminem’s latest albums rages on in the comment section. One thing is for sure; “Rap God” is one of his better tracks.

1. EMINEM : MARSHALL MATHERS LP 2

Hip-hop | November 5

2. SCHOOLBOY Q : OXYMORON

Hip-hop | TBA

3. FREDDIE GIBBS AND MADLIB : PINATA

Hip-hop | TBA

4. AZEALIA BANKS : BROKE WITH EXPENSIVE TASTE

5. HOPSIN : KNOCK MADNESS

Hip-hop | November 26

… AND

We need to at least mention it… Detox… We know, we know. But it’s still the most requested album since, well forever. Then there’s Cruel Winter, “If there’s a Cruel Summer then there’s got to be a Cruel Winter right?” Q-Tip said, alluding that the G.O.O.D. crew will be following up with another album soon. “That’s all I’m saying.” We can always hope.

INDIE / ROCK

1. ARCADE FIRE : REFLEKTOR

Indie | October 29

Rock | September 9

3. BROKEN BELLS : AFTER THE DISCO

Indie | August 13

4. DESTROYER : FIVE SPANISH SONGS

Indie | November 29

5. CASPIAN : HYMN FOR THE GREATEST GENERATION

Post-rock | November 11

… AND

I admit, I cheated – The Caspian release is an EP and wasn’t actually added to the site in the first place. But listen to the Soundcloud embed above and judge for yourself – In my opinion, this release need some hype! Then we have Death from above 1979, who reentered the studio but it “felt unnatural” so they’re going on tour and possibly recording things afterwards. But when and if that album pops-up, I’m sure its going to get a lot of love. We should also mention Little Wings album LAST, which isn’t going to be released until February of next year – But should get some attention from folk/indie-fans everywhere. And I was surprised to see Owen Pallett‘s delayed album “In conflict” not being added to the site, but I’ve added it now and hopefully it will make an appearance on the next list.

POP

Released yesterday, the new Lady Gaga butt-covered single featuring R. Kelly. Fitting, since I know R. Kelly appreciates female behinds.

1. LADY GAGA : ARTPOP

Pop | TBA

2. SKY FERREIRA : NIGHT TIME, MY TIME

Pop | October 29

3. BRITNEY SPEARS : BRITNEY JEAN

Pop | December 3

4. AVRIL LAVIGNE : AVRIL LAVIGNE

Pop-rock | November 9

5. CÉLINE DION : LOVED ME BACK TO LIFE

Pop | July 23

… AND

Never underestimate a proper pop song! Charli XCX haven’t revealed a title for her third album but the first single, SuperLove, is proper pop gold. There are other major pop acts currently working on new albums, including Lana Del Rey, Rihanna (does she ever take a break?), D’Angelo, Lauryn Hill and Beyoncé. But all of them lacks titles for now.

METAL

An awesome teaser from A lot Like Birds to get your blood and hype heart pumping.

… AND

Metal heads have had some of the most hyped up albums leaked recently, including acts like Sepultura, Erra, Protest the Hero, Ayreon, Vulture Industries, Warbringer, Toxic Holocaust and Breakdown of Sanity. As for the future, Animals as Leaders have mentioned in an interview with Metal Assault that their third album is heading for a 2014 release. Actually, I’m going to come clean here – We are in dire need of some proper metal coverage. We’ve got the fans and we got the albums, but we hardly ever cover the metal scene. For our big site update we’re making sure we are getting proper metal fans writing for us. Just hold on a bit longer guys!

Wait, what? Did we miss anything? It seems highly unlikely (not really), but just in case – Use the comment section below! And if there’s an album not added to the site, make sure and help us out!
