The Most Anticipated Albums of 2021

With a majority of 2020 behind us, it’s time to start looking ahead to 2021 and the wealth of new music that’s set to be released in the coming year. While it’s impossible to know exactly what’s in store, we can make some educated guesses based on what we know so far. So, without further ado, here are the most anticipated albums of 2021.

1. Rihanna – TBA

After taking a much-needed break from music in 2020, Rihanna is reportedly back in the studio working on her ninth album. Not much is known about the project yet, but given her history of releasing sleek pop/R&B bangers, we’re expecting nothing short of greatness.

2. Lady Gaga – TBA

Lady Gaga has been working on her sixth studio album for quite some time now, and if recent reports are to be believed, it might finally see the light of day in 2021. The as-yet-untitled record is said to be an “electro-pop odyssey” inspired by David Bowie and Queen, so we’re very excited to hear it in its entirety.

3. Beyoncé – TBA

Though she didn’t release a new solo album in 2020, Beyoncé did drop a joint project with her husband Jay-Z called The Carters: Everything Is Love. If that’s anything to go by, we can expect her next solo outing to be full of catchy R&B jams and emancipation anthems. Fingers crossed it comes out sooner rather than later!

4. Drake – Certified Lover Boy

Drake has been teasing his sixth studio album Certified Lover Boy for well over a year now, but unfortunately, it has yet to materialize. Here’s hoping that 2021 is finally the year we get to hear it in all its glory. If Drake’s previous releases are anything to go by, Certified Lover Boy is sure to be packed with hits from start to finish.

5. Kendrick Lamar – TBA

Kendrick Lamar is one of the most celebrated rappers of our generation, so naturally, there’s a lot of anticipation surrounding his next album release. While he hasn’t said much about it thus far, rumors have been swirling that he’s been working with producers like Alchemist and Hit-Boy, so we’re expecting big things.
