A "Second Album" typically refers to the second studio album released by a musical artist or band. This album often follows the artist's debut album and can be crucial for establishing their career. It may showcase the artist's growth, experimentation with new sounds, and deeper exploration of themes. In many cases, the second album is seen as a test of an artist's ability to maintain or expand their audience. Successful second albums, like Taylor Swift's "Fearless" or The Beatles' "Help!", can solidify an artist's place in the music industry, while others may struggle to meet expectations.
