“She’s working on it!” A$AP says, smiling and walking away. The fans began screaming with excitement over the news.
The last time Rihanna gave us an update on the album was last February when she and A$AP posed for British Vogue with their son RZA. In the cover story, the “Diamonds” singer teased that she would drop an album in 2023, which didn’t happen. However, she did give insight into her feelings towards creating new music. She praised Anti, which dropped in 2016 and was nominated for eight GRAMMYs, as her “most brilliant album.”
“I didn’t realize it. But it always felt like the most cohesive album I’ve ever made,” she said.
Despite not getting a GRAMMY for the project, but many fans feel that it’s Rihanna’s best album to date.
She added, “… But there’s this pressure that I put on myself. That if [then next album is] not better than that then it is not even worth it.”
Rihanna Releases Two New Songs Ending Music Hiatus
While we are still awaiting a full project from Rihanna, she did release two songs in 2022: “Born Again” and “Lift Me Up.” Both songs were on the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack and the latter was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song. Rihanna, Tems, and Black Panther director Ryan Coogler wrote the song. It was also nominated this year for Best Song Written for Visual Media at the 2024 GRAMMYs. She performed “Lift Me Up” at the 2023 Oscars.
Fans were able to get a taste of the old Rihanna when she performed her greatest hits at the Super Bowl LVII. She also revealed her second pregnancy with A$AP Rocky. They welcomed their son Riot Rose in August.
Music hasn’t been Rihanna’s main focus over the past few years as she took on business ventures that have been successful, such as her makeup and skincare lines Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin, lingerie line Savage X Fenty, and she even returned to Puma as a creative director to bring back her Creeper Phatty collection. Rihanna hit billionaire status in 2022.
