It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

While there are tons of new releases this Fall from many of my favourite American artists; I would like to take a moment to bring to your attention just how amazing the lineup of British releases is going to be this Autumn. I will either bankrupt myself catching them all like Pokemon, or die of excitement.

Robbie Williams - Reality Killed the Video Star (November 9, 2009):
Williams himself describes the album: I want people to feel elated, I want them to dance, I want them to forget about who they are and where they are for 50 minutes – and, within those 50 minutes of forgetting who they are, I also hope people relate to the songs. This is a record that I’m very proud of – I think it’s fucking brilliant. I want it to be the record that, if people think of Robbie Williams, they go, Yeah, Reality Killed The Video Star.

Cheryl Cole - Three Words (October 26, 2009):
Following her first single without her fellow members of Girls Aloud (will.i.am's "Heartbreaker"), Cheryl Cole releases "Fight for this Love" October 19th. Mostly produced by the same production team behind Girls Aloud (Xenomania).

The Saturdays - Colonial Masses (October 12, 2009):
After listening to their leadoff single "Forever is Over" tell me this won't be amazing.

Bananarama - Viva (September 14, 2009):
In true Bananarama fashion, this album is chock-full of covers (iiO's "Rapture," Fox's "S-S-S-Single Bed," and Simon and Garfunkel's "The Sound of Silence" to name a few) and their first single since 2005, "Love Comes."
