The year 2016 is nearly four months old, and already we have been graced with stellar albums from some of today’s most notable artists, including Rihanna, Sia, Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar.

Each of those releases helped fill little music-shaped holes in our hearts, but let’s be honest — there are still so many of our favorite artists who probably need to drop the next fire album of 2016 in order to remain relevant.

So, without further ado, here are five artists (and one honorable mention) who I can only hope are preparing to release their next big record, for both my sake and their own.

Lorde

It’s been a while since everyone’s favorite moody teenage pop singer released her debut album Pure Heroine in September 2013, and her subsequent extended version later that year. Of course, Lorde has remained fixed in the public eye with “Magnets,” her catchy collaboration with Disclosure, and her work on the soundtrack for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1, but there’s nothing like Lorde’s alto vocals over the electronic beats of “Team” or “Royals.”

Lorde has hinted that an album is coming out this year, teasing her anxious fans by tweeting that she whispered her next LP’s title to her mom, so there is reason to be optimistic. And hey, with all she has accomplished in her short career, it’s basically a given that the best is yet to come, whether it’s dark electronic, a pop-R&B fusion or whatever the New Zealand singer-songwriter decides to come up with next.

Two Door Cinema Club

Founded in 2007, the indie band from Northern Ireland specializes in feel-good rock that matches sprightly guitar riffs with pop-esque choruses. Its second studio album Beacon came out in August 2012, boasting the summery “Sun.” The group followed up with the 2013 EP Changing of the Seasons, but both of those records paled in comparison to the band’s debut 2010 LP Tourist History, a fine piece of indie rock tailor-made for warm spring days and starry summer nights.

With nearly 2.2 million monthly listeners on Spotify, there’s no shortage of interest in the unique band, so the time to capitalize on that attention is now. Luckily, in a January interview with NME, the band revealed they will be concluding their extended break with new music and a tour this year.

James Blake

When it comes to wistful sadboy music with lo-fi electronic beats, James Blake reigns supreme. All one has to do is listen to “Retrograde,” a swirling vortex of despondent synths underneath Blake’s delicate vocals, and it becomes apparent the English producer styles electro jams like no one else.

We haven’t been blessed with a full LP from the reserved artist since 2013, when Blake dropped his second studio album Overgrown, a follow-up to his self-titled debut offering from 2011, which, honestly, just isn’t right. There are plenty of good producers and loads of good vocalists, but it’s rare that someone can do both, and Blake can do both exceptionally well.

He evokes poignant memories while sparking the will to get up and dance, so that’s why I couldn’t help but freak out when Blake revealed “Modern Soul,” a brand-new song destined for his third studio LP, in February during his time on BBC Radio 1. Last year, Blake confirmed that his next album will feature a song with the one and only Kanye West. I can’t even imagine what that track will sound like, but I know it will be pure gold, so here’s to hoping Blake drops his next album sooner rather than later.

MØ

Major Lazer’s “Lean On”: You know it, you love it and you probably sing along to it every time it inevitably starts playing (or at least I do). Either way, there is no denying the megahit boosted Danish singer-songwriter MØ from relative obscurity to moderate name recognition. Now, as the novelty of the hit song wears off, it’s time for the indie pop singer to grab the world’s attention with her own tracks.

Judging by her 2014 debut album No Mythologies to Follow, that shouldn’t be too hard for the one-of-a-kind performer. That lone LP showcases the 27-year-old’s gritty vocals and astute production abilities. (Only two songs on the album’s standard 12-track version were collaborations with someone other than her main producer Ronni Vindahl.)

We’ve already heard her second studio album’s debut single “Kamikaze,” a collaboration with Diplo that proves MØ’s sophomore effort is definitely worth the wait. So keep an eye out for MØ’s next offering, because it could be the final spark needed to turn her into an international star.

Alt-J

English indie rock group Alt-J is one of those bands I love to listen to even though can’t I figure out what the hell they’re saying. If you’ve heard any of their songs — the energetic “Breezeblocks” and the lustful “Every Other Freckle” standing among them — you know exactly what I’m talking about.

But either way, the band has a unique take on rock music that manages to incorporate electronic and R&B elements into experimental tracks. Both their 2014 album This Is All Yours and 2012 LP An Awesome Wave are stellar collections of music, but I’m not sure they’re enough to fill my insatiable craving for more tracks. The group said they were “feeling excited” to work on their third studio album in an interview with NME in August, but besides that they have been mostly mum about their next project. We’ll have to see when it comes out, but we can all hope that it’s just around the corner, right?

Honorable Mention: Frank Ocean

At this point, after missing multiple deadlines for his follow-up to the magnum opus that is Channel Orange, Frank Ocean deserves a new name: Flake Ocean. OK, I don’t mean that, but seriously, where are you, Frank? Are you OK? Come back to us, please. We need you and your beautiful vocals. Badly.
