  • You Me At Six: In an interview with Gigwise recently, the band's frontman Josh Franceschi said that new album 'Cavalier Youth' was "the best record we've ever done." It will be released on 27 January 2014 and will be the band's fourth album.

  • Kanye West. We don't have a name, track list or release date for this yet, but what we do know is it's being produced by Rick Rubin and Q-Tip, and West will probably claim it to be more important than the Declaration of Independence.

  • Mutya Keisha Siobhan. Technically, they're more Sugababes than Sugababes. The three original members of the band have reformed under the inspiring name Mutya Keisha Siobhan. Slated to be released in early 2014, the new album will feature debut single 'Flatline.'

  • The Black Keys. Following the success of 'El Camino', Black Keys' lead singer confidently predicted that they would be able to make their next album in just "two weeks." This was in 2012. One can only hope the band's eighth studio album will at least be out next year.

  • Adele. Adele's third album is surrounded by more rumour than actual fact, but that's not going to stop people talking about it. The singer confirmed at the 2013 Grammy Awards that she was in the "very early stages" of her third album. Reports have circulated that she's working with Arctic Monkeys producer James Ford, but Adele is remaining uncharacteristically quiet about the whole thing.

  • Sia. Sia's probably better known for her collaborations - most notably with David Guetta , Flo Rida and Eminem - than her solo music. But the famously low-profile singer has a solo album due to be released in March, and it may come as a surprise to some that it will be her sixth.

  • Elbow. Though it was originally titled All At Once, Elbow have since renamed their sixth album Carry Her Carry Me. Lead singer Guy Garvey described the album, which will be released on 3 March 2014, as "experimental" with "big themes." Intriguing.

  • Beck. New album Morning Phase will be Beck's first album in five years. After a long wait for fans, Beck's twelfth album will be released in February. According to Beck himself, it's full of "infectious optimism."

  • Best Coast. Following the release of their mini-album in October, Best Coast have confirmed that they are recording their fourth full length studio album, due for release in Spring. Lead singer Bethany Cosentino has said "The first record was super Sixties, the second record was really Seventies and this one is going to be really Nineties." Maybe their next one will be set in the future.

  • Warpaint. If it's anything like as good as their debut album The Fool, there's a lot to look forward to with Warpaint's self-titled second offering. And there's not long to wait now, with the album set to be released on 20 January.

  • Bombay Bicycle Club. The band's fourth album is called So Long, See You Tomorrow, and is due out in February. The colourful artwork is inspired by photographic pioneer Eadweard Muybridge. They are set to preview a number of tracks from the album at Abbey Road Studios on 13 December.

  • Metronomy. It might look like a forty year old record you just found in a discount store, but this is actually Metronomy's new album Love Letters. Due for release in Spring 2014, the album includes the single 'I'm Aquarius', which was made Zane Lowe's Hottest Track In The World (for a day)

  • Asgeir. This isn't exactly a second album from Icelandic singer Asgeir. It has more or less the same songs of his highly successful debut album, but it's in English. Thanks to translations by John Grant, the album looks set to bring Asgeir's music to a new audience.

  • St Vincent. The singer's fourth solo album is reported to be self-titled, and will be released in February. The lead single will be the the ominous sounding 'Birth In Reverse.'

  • M0. Finally, an album we have all the details about. M0 debut album No Mythologies To Follow will be released on 24 February via Chess Club. It was recorded at No Wav studios with producer Ronni Vindahl. Just look at all these facts. Not a rumour in sight.

Adele is believed to be planning her long-awaited return to music with new single 'Devil On My Shoulder', after the singer registered the track with the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP).

The track, called 'Devil On My Shoulder', lists Greg Wells on the songwriting credits. Wells has previously worked with Adele on her last album, 21, as well as artists including Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams and Mika.

It's been almost 3 years since Adele's previous album, 21, which has sold over 26 million copies worldwide. The last new material the Tottenham singer released was James Bond theme song 'Skyfall', which won a Golden Globe in 2013 for Best Original Song. In December, Adele recieved an MBE for her services to music.
