Posted August 20, 20213 yr These three powerhouse artists are expected to be releasing new albums in 2021. But which of the returns has you most excited? Vote in the poll and discuss the three hyped returns below!
August 20, 20213 yr Kendrick definitely, he’s consistently brilliant for me (and my stan card was firmly laminated after seeing him live) whereas the other two have their moments but don’t have me as constantly invested. Also ‘DAMN’ came out in 2017 so it feels like ages now!
August 20, 20213 yr Author This is a very easy choice for me: Kanye! With his 9 albums to date (well 8, we ignore the latest) he has continually evolved and given us complete masterpiece collections. I am so excited to see where his story goes from her and I hope it can be a return to form after 'JESUS IS KING' failed to live up to his former glory. I am then excited for Kendrick. Very consistent albums from him and always brings it with the visuals and powerhouse statements. Drake is third for me. Excited for his return but his last few albums have been mixed bags and I don't think he will be capable of returning to the dizzying heights of his 'Take Care' et al days. We shall see! All in all, it's going to be a great year for albums if they can all deliver (and actually release them *cough* Kanye looking at you *cough*)
August 20, 20213 yr I will be pleasantly surprised if all of these arrive this year - I'd almost be tempted to say it's more likely we get none of them than all 3 :kink: I'm definitely most excited for Kendrick out of the 3, Kanye is too unreliable and chaotic of late and his last album was pretty mixed, I definitely think he has the potential to return to greatness but I wouldn't necessarily count on it! And I will check out the Drake album whenever it drops as well but I will certainly be expecting the usual mix of some great songs and some filler so it's hard to say that I'm particularly excited for it as an overall album x
August 20, 20213 yr Kendrick for me — my Kanye expectations are nonexistent at this point. I will be pleasantly surprised if all of these arrive this year - I'd almost be tempted to say it's more likely we get none of them than all 3 :kink: I'm definitely most excited for Kendrick out of the 3, Kanye is too unreliable and chaotic of late and his last album was pretty mixed, I definitely think he has the potential to return to greatness but I wouldn't necessarily count on it! And I will check out the Drake album whenever it drops as well but I will certainly be expecting the usual mix of some great songs and some filler so it's hard to say that I'm particularly excited for it as an overall album x This still hurts. I can't think of many artists that released six/seven (Pablo is debatable, but I personally love it) incredible albums in succession? The consistency.
August 20, 20213 yr Author Yeah second time i've read that "Kanye is unreliable" on here :drama: HOW? He's released one dud album!? The rest are MASTERPIECES. :rolleyes:
August 20, 20213 yr Yeah second time i've read that "Kanye is unreliable" on here :drama: HOW? He's released one dud album!? The rest are MASTERPIECES. :rolleyes: I don't think calling Kanye unreliable in 2021 is particularly controversial... How many release dates has 'Donda' had now?
August 20, 20213 yr Easily Kendrick. Releasing a masterpiece like DAMN & then the Black Panther soundtrack and then dipping for years means that nothing can even come close to matching the hype for that album. I'm always really excited for a new Kanye album and I'll give Drake's a spin. Drake has got into the habit of one great project followed by a dud for me and he's due a bad one next. If they all released on the same day, I would rush to Kendrick's first, then Kanye's and probably wait a week before listening to Drake :lol:
August 20, 20213 yr Kendrick easily as we’ve waited 4 years for new material and that’s a lifetime in music terms. Kanye having a new release is always one to listen to immediately - I mean ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’ is one of my top 5 albums ever made.
August 21, 20213 yr If all three were to release on the same day, I would listen to: Kendrick, then Kanye, then Drake. All have been away long enough that I’m at least curious to hear new music from them. Kanye’s last two albums were duds on first listen (and I haven’t yet gone back to listen to them again), so hoping we can get back to MBDTF/TLOP quality again!
