Dubbed R9 by the superstar singer’s fans, Rihanna teased her long-awaited new album during this weekend’s red carpet appearance for the launch of her new Fenty Beauty Soft’lit Foundation in Los Angeles.
When questioned by EXTRA about the follow-up LP her 2016 Anti, the Barbadian singer (born Robyn Rihanna Fenty) told said:
“It’s gonna be amazing. It has to be — that is the only reason it’s not out yet.” “If I’m not feeling it and I’m not feeling like it represents the evolution, the time I spent away. There should be a show of growth, right?” “I want to play, and I feel like music is a playground, and I want to have fun with it and show truly where I am at.”
When asked if R9 might feature any special guests, Rihanna admitted, “I’m not a big collaborator… It has to be very intentional, so I’ll know when I have the record.”
RiRi’s latest statement comes more than a year after promoting her 2023 Super Bowl halftime show when she said she expected the new full length to arrive in 2023, adding “I want it to be this year. Like, honestly, it’d be ridiculous if it’s not this year.” “But I just want to have fun. I just want to make music and make videos.”
A week and a half ago, Rihanna told Entertainment Tonight, “I already got stuff that I feel like I could make hits out of” and referred to her work in progress as “so good”.
