The March music madness is real. Each month brings a slew of new releases and returning artists delving into different genres – spanning rock, pop, and hip-hop – and March is no exception. Artists including multi-hyphenate Korean star WOODZ and iconic rock powerhouse Muse are among those delivering fresh albums and projects throughout the month.
Here’s a look at some of the most notable new music releases that arrived in March:
“Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.”, Harry Styles
Written by Harry Styles himself and produced by Kid Harpoon, the 12-track “Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally” is his fourth studio album and first music release since 2022’s record-breaking album “Harry’s House”, which took home the top prize for Album of the Year at the 2023 Grammy Awards.
“Archive. 1”, WOODZ
Multi-hyphenate WOODZ released his long-awaited first full-length album “Archive. 1”, a 17-track project that documents a personal archive of his sound, identity, rebellion, and growth. Entirely written, composed, and produced by him alongside long-time collaborators Nathan and Hoho, the album is led by two focus tracks: “Human Extinction” and “NA NA NA“.
“Be With You”, Muse
Muse returned with a new single, “Be With You”, from their forthcoming tenth album “The Wow! Signal” that will be released in June. The new song takes cues from electronic music, as it begins with a grand church organ before introducing elements of electronica, eventually erupting with a dose of blistering guitar rock.
“Home”, Charlie Puth (feat. Hikaru Utada)
Charlie Puth has teamed up with legendary Japanese songstress Hikaru Utada with latest single “Home”. Apart from the song drawing inspiration from Puth’s personal experiences and relationships, it stands as an iconic collaboration that blends borders and language, culminating in a universal expression of love.
“ARIRANG”, BTS
The seven-member boy group is back with their first album in nearly four years! “ARIRANG”, the highly anticipated fifth studio album from BTS, and its lead single, “Swim,” is stacked with outside producers and songwriters including Diplo, Ryan Tedder, Mike WiLL Made-It, Flume, Kevin Parker of Tame Impala, El Guincho, and JPEGMAFIA.
“ALL ROADS LEAD HOME”, Central Cee
Central Cee keeps his momentum going with “ALL ROADS LEAD HOME”, an EP that feels like a checkpoint in his global rise. He reflects on fame, pressure, and the cost of levelling up without losing himself throughout the album. Besides his signature UK drill bounce, he experiments more with pacing and tone, especially on songs like “FEELINGS.”
