Beyoncé to a lesser extent because I think she used to write and maybe contributes somewhat 🤔
I never really heard of Rihanna doing anything but performing so surely if she want she could serve up whenever. All the resources to have writers , producers etc on constant clock
well writing is just one part of making music
artists are people too. Kendrick just dropped an album that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s in the studio right now and all the time from here to now is him working on his next project. He can live too ya know
Rihanna’s music is her smallest source of income
/thread
if she drops a smash, gr8. but if she flops it can affect her other businesses which are much more lucrative
Rihanna is a bad example. I think she retired after her last album. Don't think she wants to do music or tour anymore, specially now with a baby.

This.
Her bag might potential get f***ed up on her actual money making side of she drops mid.
I mean, albums still take time to make no matter how creatively involved the lead artist is

It takes more than just the record.
There's a lot involved besides the album.
Tour, promotion, interviews, press run and other thousand things that can suck your life just because you did finish the album.
Don't you see what happened to Michael Jackson?

A little over a decade of dropping music almost back to back each year cept for Anti. I’d want a break from music too lol
When Rihanna was actively releasing music she wasn’t taking long breaks between her releases lol
Since 2017+ it’s obvious she’s been on a hiatus from music and is making money in other areas (while occasionally lying to her fans that she’s dropping soon)

These people really think Beyoncé receives her albums completely done and just record vocals.
Lock thread.
