I'm really curious to see if the new studio album will be released next year as it was intended to be released initially this year, or if some new material will be added?

My guess would be that he has been sitting on a few songs he hoped to record with Christine or even FM at some point. Since that option appears to be off the table for the foreseeable future, he may have decided to add some of those to the planned album. I think the compilation is the best release for him right now given the circumstances. It has a few radio hits most people will recognize which will make them more likely to explore his new album once it arrives. He also may want to start from scratch for his next LP and address the FM drama through his songs.
