Record releases in summer 2025, recommendations by Mallorca Global Mag

Miley Cyrus

Something beautiful
Pop
Disc release date: May 30

Miley Cyrus never stops changing and that beats in Something beautiful. The artist signs a conceptual and visual album that drinks from the spirit of Pink Floyd’s The Wall, but tinges it with pop glamour based on psychedelic frequencies. There are 13 songs produced with Shawn Everett and his partner Maxx Morando, which turn heartbreak, destruction and revenge into luminous soundscapes. It starts with the double advance “Prelude” and the title track, and continues with “End of the world”.

Sen Senra

PO2054AZ (Vol.III)
POP
Disc release date: June 06

Sen Senra closes his trilogy with PO2054AZ (Vol. III) – El Retorno: eleven new kilometers on the family road that took him from El Origen and El Emigrante to here. The single “Hasta el fondo”, with a videoclip-procession and a sculpture given to the sea, marks the goal of a journey that celebrates moving forward despite the waves, between introspection, Galician heritage and a look to the future. This is how the artist from Vigo finishes off his most ambitious work, confirming that the dreamer “neno” continues to step on the accelerator without looking back.

The Cure

Mixes of a lost world
DISCO – ELECTRÓNICA
Disc release date: June 13

That Robert Smith has never been afraid to reimagine his legacy is anyone’s guess, and that restlessness burns on Mixes of a Lost World. Eight tracks from Songs of a Lost World are given new life on 24 re-readings signed by Mogwai, Four Tet, Chino Moreno, Paul Oakenfold and more, a kaleidoscopic journey that honors The Cure’s longstanding connection to dance music. Available in triple deluxe editions (LP, CD or cassette, with 180g biovinyl and poster).

Van Morrison

Remembering now
SOUL – CELTA – FOLK – GOSPEL
Disc release date: June 13

Flashes of soul, jazz, blues, blues, folk and country again intersect on Remembering Now, Van Morrison’s first album of originals since 2022. “Down to Joy,” heard in Belfast, opens a label-free repertoire that reunites him with his live core – Richard Dunn, Stuart McIlroy, Pete Hurley and Colin Griffin – and the Fews Ensemble strings led by Fiachra Trench.

Benson Boone

American heart
POP
Disc release date: June 20

American Heart lands June 20 with ten songs that uncover Benson Boone’s more intimate side, from the opening confession “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else” to a Springsteen-meets-Killers-scented “Young American Heart” anthem. Boone unveiled the project with a viral set at Coachella, where Brian May joined in with his “Bohemian Rhapsody.” After the release, the first major European stop will be Mad Cool in Madrid.

Leo Jiménez

30 años tras el apocalipsis
HEAVY METAL
Disc release date: June 20

30 Años tras el Apocalipsis immortalizes the night of September 14, 2024 at La Riviera, when Leo Jiménez celebrated three decades on stage with Rufo Cantero, Carlos Expósito, Patricio Babasasa and Cristian Juárez. The first advance, “Desde niño” (revived from 2013’s Animal solitario), gains strength with the voices of Patricia Tapia and Zeta. Available on white vinyl + CD and digital platforms, this album captures all the fury and gratitude of El León in the midst of its anniversary.

Bruce Springsteen

Lost and found: Selections from the lost albums
ROCK
Disc release date: June 27

Bruce Springsteen unlocks his archive with Lost and Found: Selections from the Lost Albums, 20 previously unreleased tracks from the Tracks II box set. They are flashes that go from the lo-fi of the LA Garage Sessions ’83 -bridge between Nebraska and Born in the U.S.A.- to the synthesizers of “Streets of Philadelphia”, passing through laconic country, E Street rock and orchestral film noir. With intro by the Boss himself, the set showcases 35 years of creative deviations that are now, at last, coming to light.

Backstreet Boys 

Millennium 2.0
POP
Disc release date: July 11

Twenty-five years after its original release, Millennium returns in deluxe edition to unleash ‘BSB’ nostalgia in a big way. The Backstreet Boys’ classic is reissued on double CD and vinyl with new cover art, photo booklet and acknowledgements, and includes the entire original track-list (“I Want It That Way”, “The One”, “The Perfect Fan…”) plus 13 bonus tracks. The result: a Millennium 2.0 that brings together hymns, relics and never-before-heard material, a must-have for fans and collectors.

Nick Drake 

The making of Five leaves left
ROCK
Disc release date: July 25

Nine years of dusty drawers and forgotten reels lead to The Making of Five Leaves Left, the authorized edition that reveals the genesis of Nick Drake’s debut. The box – 4 CDs or 4 LPs – gathers more than 30 unreleased outtakes: from the first session at Sound Techniques rescued by Beverley Martyn to the Caius College home tape that dozed for half a century in a drawer. The last disc replaces the original Five Leaves Left, remastered by John Wood and Simon Heyworth.

Jack Garratt

Pillars
ALTERNATIVA – POP
Disc release date: August 15

Five years after Love, Death & Dancing, Jack Garratt lifts Pillars: eleven self-produced tracks in his London studio where love – romantic, platonic and his own – is entangled with elastic beats and luminous choruses. With the punctual help of producer Johan Hugo and the single “Catherine Wheel” at the forefront, the Brit celebrates community and self-discovery in a vibrant album released by Cooking Vinyl.

The Hives

The Hives forever forever The Hives
ROCK
Disc release date: August 29

Thirty years of gunpowder and still sizzling: on August 29 arrives The Hives Forever Forever The Hives, seventh album by the Swedes and, according to them, the best moment of their career. Thirteen tracks recorded in Sweden with the electric production of Pelle Gunnerfeldt and the reinforcements of Mike D (Beastie Boys) and Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age). They will tour the world from July to December 2025 with stops in Spain.

Calum Scott

Avenoir
POP
Disc release date: September 12

Calum Scott navigates between past and present in Avenoir, his third album whose title evokes the longing for memories to flow backwards. There are 14 songs that balance regret, sadness and eternal love, an invitation to live without knowing what’s coming, because therein lies the magic. The Brit will bring The Avenoir Tour to Spain: October 17, 2025 at La Riviera (Madrid) and October 18 at Razzmatazz (Barcelona).
