Music update!

 Rihanna is very much aware that the masses have been pining for her beyond long-awaited next album. Noting that because of this, the follow-up to 2016’s ANTI, will be worth the wait.

“It’s gonna be amazing,” she said of what’s to come, that we still no nothing about. “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,” Rihanna said, adding that she only intends to collaborate with another artist if it’s “very intentional. I’ll know when I have the record.”

RiRi also recently spoke to ET about working on new music, sharing, “I already got stuff that I feel like I could make hits out of.” Revealing that her and A$AP Rocky are debating between who gets what, because “it’s all so good.”
