The next album, "R9", is almost ready and Rihanna promised the fans that it was worth the wait. In an interview for Access Online, the singer explained why she has stayed away from music for so long.
"I look forward to publishing something I am really proud and happy about. It will certainly be much faster than my fans think, but I do not want to give more details because I have enough stress and questions about 'R9'. "
Rihanna explained that the same thing happened before the release of the album "Anti" in 2016.
"I remember well the day I started working for 'Anti'. It was my first day in the studio, so it was still early. A paparazzi caught me entering the studio and after that, my fans eagerly awaited the release. "In the past, I made an album for three months, but now I do not have the luxury of doing so because I have other 'kids'." - She said referring to her company, Fenty.
Riri also spoke to Entertainment Tonight and revealed that the new album was worth the wait.
"I'm always dealing with music. I always worked for music. When I'm ready, I'll publish [the songs]. You will not be disappointed. I can’t release the album just because people expect it. It lasted so long, I will make sure it is worth it. "
Rihanna released "Anti" in 2016 and since then, has been involved with the construction and innovation of the company (fashion and cosmetics), Fenty, which she founded in 2017. In terms of albums, she has also published "Music of the Sun "(2005)," A Girl like Me "(2006)," Good Girl Gone Bad "(2007)," Rated R "(2009)," Loud "(2010)," Talk That Talk "(2011) , "Unapologetic" (2012).
