The winter season is always a drag when it comes to getting new releases. Labels tend to heavily schedule albums for the end of the year (known in the industry as the "fourth quarter") so that their artists will have a better chance of more sales (CDs are always a popular gift during the holidays). But never fear: there's a smattering of new records getting released this winter that we're sure you'll be rocking when they drop in the forthcoming months. Here's a preview of what to expect from Timbaland, Kelly Clarkson, The Fray, U2 and 50 Cent.
