As 2025 begins to close, music fans may be looking towards new tours and new albums set to release in 2026; however, there are still some new releases to come this year that people should be excited about.
Jeremy Allen White, Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere soundtrack
After the release of the biopic about New Jersey rockstar Bruce Springsteen, which stars Jeremy Allen White, the soundtrack is set to be released on December 5.
The soundtrack for this album includes 12 Springsteen tracks performed by White. The tracks vary from a few of his albums with seven from Nebraska, two from Born in the U.S.A and two covers.

The full track-list is Born in the U.S.A, Nebraska, Atlantic City, Mansion on the Hill, Highway Patrolman, State Trooper, My Father’s House, Reason to Believe, I’m on Fire, a cover of Lucille originally by Little Richard, a cover of Boom Boom by John Lee Hooker and lastly a cover of I Put a Spell on You by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins.
Although reviews have criticised White’s similarities physically to Springsteen, the praise from his vocal likeness to the rockstar is sure to have people excited.
Roddy Ricch: The Navy Album
After a four-year hiatus since his last album LIVE LIFE FAST, Roddy Ricch is set to release his new album titled The Navy Album. This is confirmed to be released on 5 December. Very little is known about this project; there are 17 tracks set for the album with one being released previously.

The tracks already confirmed are Survivor’s Remorse which was released on May 31, 2024, and Lonely Road featuring Terrace Martin which hasn’t been released yet but because of Martin’s work as a producer, his feature is confirmed.
This album will be important to the legacy of Ricch because after his success with his debut album, Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial, his second album received lukewarm reviews according to Metacritic.
Sam Fender: People Watching (Deluxe)
Fender is set to release a deluxe version of his smash hit People Watching on 5 December. The album, which was originally released in February, resonated a lot with fans due to its topical themes and deeply emotional lyrics.
People Watching also recently received the Mercury Prize 2025, which is awarded to the best album released by an act from UK and Ireland.

The new tracks include Tyrants, I’m Always on Stage, Me and the Dog, Fortuna’s Wheel, Empty Spaces, The Treadmill and Rein Me In featuring Olivia Dean. The last track was originally only done live on tour but after huge demand was released officially in June.
These are just some of the greatly anticipated albums to look forward to with just over a month left of 2025.
