2020 has already seen the release of many amazing albums, from the likes of Run The Jewels, Laura Marling, Perfume Genius, Thundercat and The Big Moon to name just a few.

But there's still much more to look forward to, including long-awaited comebacks from Bright Eyes and The Streets, eagerly-anticipated new albums from IDLES, Lianne La Havas, Fontaines D.C, and Kelly Lee Owens, and hopefully new releases from some of the last decade's biggest names, such as Kendrick Lamar, Frank Ocean, and The xx.

Here we preview a selection of the very many albums we're looking forward to during the second half of 2020. Check out a special Handpicked by 6 Music mix too, featuring some of the artists from our list.
