Last January 28th marked 8 years since Rihanna will release his latest studio album to date: Anti. Nobody in that year 2016 suspected that it would be one of the biggest musical breaks that we were going to experience in the pop industry by one of the biggest international stars. But fortunately every so often we receive a small dose of hope so that it will be this year (finally) that it sees the light.

And the person responsible for the new excitement for millions of fans of the Barbadian soloist has arrived from Asap Rocky in a phrase as innocent as it is sincere that confirms what we already knew about this new album: “He’s working on it.”

The truth is that the impact would have been total and more than one person would have given him something if he said otherwise.

But the truth is that this “it’s working” goes back many years. Since 2019 we have been hearing that Rihanna He is in the recording studio preparing songs while juggling his schedule with his multiple lines of business.

The expectation for R9 continues to grow by leaps and bounds and each time the bar for the return of the one from Barbados is higher. She has taken it upon herself for years to take the edge off the issue by confirming that the music will come when it is ready and when she is satisfied with it.

Anti’s successor seems to be looming in 2024 but we have been like this for a few years now and Riri always plays in front of the different microphones that have been placed in front of her asking her about the long-awaited album (or double album as it was said).
