3,2,1 – New Music Monday / 07-13-26
(3,2,1 New Music Monday Intro)
Welcome to Music That Matters with 3, 2, 1 New Music Monday.
This week, we’ve got Jack White going full Jack White, Future showing us The Real Me, and The Rolling Stones somehow still rolling.
Plus, Beyoncé opens the B’Day vault, Alabama Shakes return with hope, and My Chemical Romance brings Danger Days back to vinyl.
(Countdown Video)
3 major album drops.
First up – Jack White’s seventh solo studio album has arrived – Frozen Charlotte
(“G.O.D. And The Broken Ribs” cut of “Microphone Check, One-Two, One-Two”)
And this is how excited I was about this album.
(flash vinyl copy)
I already got it on vinyl.
I truly believe that I’ve found one of my favorite albums of 2026.
It’s loud. It’s bluesy. It’s guitars ripping in all the right Jack White ways.
(“You’ll Never Fix Me” clip)
Next, we go from rock to rap with Future and his new album, The Real Me.
This album is a 22-track reminder that his fingerprints are still all over modern hip-hop.
(Future “Radio” clip)
And then, from rap to some original rock legends.
The Rolling Stones are back with Foreign Tongues.
(“In The Stars” clip)
Yes, in 2026, we are still talking about new music from Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood.
By the way, Foreign Tongues is their 25th studio album, and it keeps that late-career Stones run moving.
(“Jealous Lover” clip)
2 new singles.
First up — Beyoncé with “Morning Dew (Donk).”
(“Morning Dew (Donk)” clip)
This is a surprise release from the vault, arriving as part of the countdown to the 20th anniversary edition of B’Day.
Also new this week — Alabama Shakes with “I Feel Hope Coming.”
(“I Feel Hope Coming” clip)
This is the first taste of I Must Be Dreaming, their first album in 11 years, arriving August 28th. I’m circling that date.
(Record Scratch video)
And finally, 1 vinyl pick.
When I was in the record store Friday buying my Jack White vinyl, I watched this album leave the bins twice – I had to go over and see what it was.
My Chemical Romance who are back with a 15th anniversary deluxe edition of Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys
(“Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)” clip)
That’s your 3 albums, 2 singles, and 1 vinyl for the week.
This has been 3, 2, 1 New Music Monday
