Glastonbury and London only shows?? What is she? Cheryl Cole?

 

im pressed…..

Might be to test the waters and eventually announce more countries for 2026 (or end of this year)

 

London is her biggest city on Spotify rn and the UK has been her strongest market thoughout her career so it's smart (if true). European fans from other countries can easily fly to London too, if these are her only shows announced

Touring after 9 years without new album is wild and torture for us 

At least we know that we are getting new music this year even if it's Smurfs

New GIF unlocked navy. Use it everywhere

 

 

I don't wanna get too excited about the live shows just in case it's fake, but wow, even if there was no new music to go with them, I'd be excited that SOMETHING was finally happening  

I'm so delulu, but I've booked my hotel… 

if this london residency thing is real please please please add more countries and come to australia and asia it's been like 12 years ffs  don't even need R9 just need this greatest hits tour to come true

Okayyyy it better drop 10 mins after I ask…. Lemme try again

 

When do we think R9 is dropping 

A bit of an empty statement but at least she's teasing stuff

I am not expecting an album so it better be that!

A reggae album was buzzed about in 2018, though she's quick to debunk this: "Way off! There's no genre now. That's why I waited. Every time, I was just like, 'No, it's not me. It's not right. It's not matching my growth. It's not matching my evolution. I can't do this. I can't stand by this. I can't perform this for a year on tour.' After a while, I looked at it, and I was like, this much time away from music needs to count for the next thing everyone hears. It has to count. It has to matter. I have to show them the worth in the wait. I cannot put up anything mediocre. After waiting eight years, you might as well just wait some more."

I've been in the studio the whole eight years. But it didn't hit me. I was searching for it. I went through phases of what I wanted to do. 'This kind of album, not that album.' I know it's not going to be anything that anybody expects. And it's not going to be commercial or radio digestible. It's going to be where my artistry deserves to be right now. I feel like I've finally cracked it, girl!

LFG!

I don't know what to make of that interview. The most detail she's given us on music for a long time. 

 

I loved her comments about ANTI. 

Yeah I'm going to be a dummy again and get excited

It seems she's happy with what she has musically which is a good sign

Yes, pleeeeease!!!! Her limiting Anti Tour to North America and Europe was criminal

 

Now with post-covid concert ticket inflation (plus her becoming a greedy billionaire) we're gonna have to pay like $500 for decent tickets to see her. I'm so mad.

At least she's admitting she's been saying this for years She knows her credibility is at an all time low

 

surprise release b*tch

All this happening at once… it's been SO long since I've been this excited

Giving me 2015/2016 flashbacks with a movie and movie songs (Home/Smurfs) followed with an album (Anti/hopefully R9). Going by what she's said it truly feels like it's upon us

I don't think it's coming soon. Not sooner than October/November.

This makes sense given that the Smurfs soundtrack will drop in July? There has to be a few months in between the projects but I am hoping it's this year. No point in talking about her process if it's going to be dropped past this year.
