La mia
'La mia' means 'my' (feminine singular). 'Mia' is a possessive adjective that agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies, which is 'band' (even though 'band' is English, it's treated as feminine in Italian).
band preferita
'Band' is a common English loanword used in Italian. 'Preferita' (favorite) is an adjective that agrees with 'band' in gender and number (feminine singular).
ha pubblicato
This is the 'passato prossimo' (present perfect) of 'pubblicare' (to publish/release). It's formed with the present tense of 'avere' (ha) and the past participle 'pubblicato'. 'Avere' is used for most transitive verbs.
un nuovo album
'Un' is the indefinite article for masculine singular nouns. 'Nuovo' (new) is an adjective that typically precedes the noun 'album' for emphasis or common usage. 'Album' is a masculine singular noun.

✕Common Mistakes
La mia band preferita è pubblicato un nuovo album.
The verb 'pubblicare' (to publish/release) uses 'avere' (to have) as its auxiliary verb in compound tenses, not 'essere' (to be). So, 'ha pubblicato' is correct.
La mia band preferita ha pubblicato un album nuovo.
While 'album nuovo' isn't strictly incorrect, placing adjectives like 'nuovo' before the noun (un nuovo album) often emphasizes the newness and sounds more natural in Italian, especially for common phrases.
