Our kind of gambling.
Some artists are very transparent about the recording processes for their albums, while others prefer to work in private until a finished product is presented. Updating fans on an album’s progress opens the door to them feeling entitled to have an opinion on whether it’s taking too long. SZA recently teased that we can expect new music from her this year, so if she doesn’t follow through on that promise, you can rest assured that she’ll receive an earful (or angry tweets, rather) from her followers. When artists are secretive about recording, the public can forget to pester them about the status of their projects. No one ever knows what the hell Frank Ocean is up to, so it’s hard to have any expectations for when he’s going to drop some new new. He’ll do it when he does it and we’ll wait patiently in the meantime.
Sports betting website, Bovada, analysed the varying predictability levels of the music industry’s most admired artists to determine the likelihood of whether they will release albums in 2020. According to the betting odds listed below, you can be fairly optimistic about Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, Childish Gambino, Frank Ocean, and J. Cole dropping within the next twelve months. Survey says there will not be a sequel to Kids See Ghosts anytime soon.
