Although 2016 is nowhere near over, our thoughts are already on 2017 and what it has to offer. We can already tell you that it will be lively in the music field, because after five years the skillful cats LCD Soundsystem are returning. Canadian indie rockers Arcade Fire and the most influential young musician of 2014, Lorde, are also preparing the album. So what are the most anticipated music albums of 2017?
The most anticipated music albums of 2017:
LCD Soundsystem
It's January this year frontman LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy has announced that the band will be reuniting after five years and that they are already working on a new album, which will be the follow-up to 2010's This Is Happening. Are they to be trusted? Apparently, because of the conflicts surrounding the new album, they canceled the November performance at the Hong Kong festival. The latest album This Is Happening from 2010 awaits you below.
Arcade Fire
Guitarist Win Butler has revealed that we can expect a new album in the spring of 2017. The Canadian indie rockers spent the summer recording in Montreal and Paris, and according to multi-instrumentalist Tim Kingsbury, the album should be full of energy. Reflector's latest album from 2015 awaits you below.

U2
U2 guitarist David Howell Evans, aka The Edge, has said the band is really trying to record a follow-up to U2's Songs of Innocence album, which U2 released two years ago. Among other things, he compared it to Zooropa's album from 1993. The new Songs of Experience album is said to involve producers such as Ryan Tedder, Danger Mouse and Jacknife Lee, and we can expect it in early 2017. The Zooropa track is waiting for you below from the album of the same name.
Jay Z
Jay Z has wisely kept quiet since his wife's heartbreaking Lemonade opus. But that should change soon: his friend Jermaine Dupri recently said that the musician's 13th studio album is ready and named. Below is a track from Jay Z's latest album, Magna Carta Holy Grail, released in 2013.
Lorde
At the start of the summer of 2016, Lorde said she spent three days alone in the wilderness writing songs. And it looks like 2013's Pure Heroine is being followed up by a new album already in production. Rumor has it that producers Flume and Jack Antonoff will work on the album. A track from her latest album awaits you below.
