Music preview 2022: The biggest releases, tours and films

21 Savage Releases 2 New Songs ‘No Debate’ & ‘Big Smoke’ —

Early this year, 21 Savage was talking about dropping a new album at some point before 2022, but of course he ended up just keeping busy with a bunch of features, notably Drake’s ‘Knife Talk‘ and the ‘Who Want Smoke?’ remix. Presumably, a project will come in the first half of next year.

To close out 2021, the Atlanta rapper returns with a couple of new songs. The first is ‘No Debate’ produced by Cardo Got Wings and Deats and the second is ‘Big Smoke’, which is produced by Sg Kid Hazel. Along with them is one accompanying visual, pairing them together.

In the music world, 2021 was a year of surprises.

Daft Punk split up, Abba reformed, a sea shanty hit number one, and Britney Spears finally broke free of her conservatorship.

Olivia Rodrigo landed on planet pop as a fully-formed star in the first week of January and ended the year with a full house of Grammy nominations.

Winston Marshall of Mumford & Sons left the band after endorsing a right-wing author, while country star Morgan Wallen was dropped by his label after being filmed drunkenly using a racial slur (he still ended up with the year's best-selling album in the US, though).

Last but not least, Harry Styles was falsely accused of stealing a microwave oven.

But if you look back at my predictions from this time last year, I singularly failed to anticipate any of those stories. I also said Adele wouldn't release an album this year - but that was an act of reverse psychology that was 100% responsible for the release of 30 in November. You're welcome.

So, what about next year? Can I trick Rihanna into releasing an album, too? Probably not - but, on the proviso that my crystal ball is about as useful as windscreen wipers on a submarine, here are nine music stories to look out for in 2022.

1) Britney Spears to release new music?

Britney Spears
Finally free of the conservatorship that's ruled her life for 13 years, all eyes are on Britney Spears' next move.

During the legal battle, which played out in court all this year, the star vowed never to perform again as long as her father remained in control of her affairs.

Once he was dismissed, however, her priorities were much more down-to-earth: getting the keys to her car, withdrawing cash, and buying candles "for the first time".

Since then, she's hinted at a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey and announced her engagement to actor Sam Asghari.

Fans, meanwhile, are clamoring for new material from the pop princess, who hasn't released an album since 2016's Glory.

"Cancel culture," or the idea that people too often pile onto others for bad behavior, emerged only in the past few years but has become a ubiquitous phrase among English speakers. President Barack Obama and President Donald Trump have both criticized a culture of relentlessly calling people out for alleged wrongdoing. In an address at Mount Rushmore last month, Trump said it was "the very definition of totalitarianism."As social-media users decry cancel culture and poke fun at the criticism itself, the phrase has come to describe a wide variety of behaviors and their consequences.
