'Agnes is coming to give 2021 the pop album of the year'. Agnes could make me eat these words. But I'm going to err on the side of taking the singles as a sign of what's to come. Because Agnes has not put a fucking foot wrong since "Fingers Crossed". And if we really wanna talk about it, Agnes actually hasn't put a foot wrong since "Limelight".

Agnes' 5th studio album is titled Magic Still Exists. Although given the teaser video below, you'd probabaly think it's titled Spiritual Disco, which may well had been a title at some point. And given the sounds we've heard thus far and the music video for "Fingers Crossed", it'd be a fitting title.

Y'all saw the infinity stones. Agnes is letting bitches know that she is about to snap half of the wigs in the universe out of existence. We 'bout to be heading into Christmas bald and blipped.

I hate this album cover though. I adore the look, but don't like the cover. Agnes could've literally picked any still from the "24 Hours" music video and had a better album shot. Also, Agnes posted the shot used for this album cover back in June, so the image itself isn't even new.

But d'you know what? I'll take a raggedy album cover and allow Agnes a margin for a misstep, given the quality of the music she has been gracing us with over the past 2 years.

There's no confirmed tracklist as of yet. However, Agnes did post the below back in September.

And if you look closely you can see the name of the album and the track list beneath it, which lists 12 songs. It's difficult to make out all of the titles, but it seems the album opener will be titled "Spiritual Awakening", the album closer will be "Magic Still Exists", that we'll get a song called "Love & Appreciation", and "Fingers Crossed" aka one of the best pop songs of 2020 will also be included.

Agnes may find her album getting mixed up in the Google search results though, as there was a recent announcement that Marvel Studios were working on a Disney+ show for Agatha Harkness. Agatha being a magic using witch who went by the character Agnes for the first few episodes of the Disney+ show WandaVision. Not the worst thing to be in the mix of when it comes to Google searches I guess. Try being Perfume.

Magic Still Exists releases on October 22, 2021.
