She’s been thinking a lot about her process lately. “When you come off of an album like Anti…” she begins cautiously, then visibly decides to just spit it out. “In hindsight, it really is my most brilliant album. I say that because in the moment, I didn’t realise it. But it always felt like the most cohesive album I’ve ever made. When you break it down and you realise this album goes from ‘Work’ to ‘Kiss It Better’ to ‘Needed Me’ to ‘Love on the Brain’ to ‘Sex with Me’ to ‘Desperado’.” She beams. “And somehow it all fits and not for a second did you glitch?”

 

The variety is exquisite. “Right? It’s like a DJ’s worst nightmare,” she says. “But there’s this pressure that I put on myself. That if it’s not better than that then it is not even worth it.” That’s such a toxic pressure. “It is toxic. You’re right. It’s not the right way to look at music because music is an outlet and a space to create, and you can create whatever. It doesn’t have to even be on any scale. It just has to be something that feels good. It could just be a song that I like. It literally could be that simple.”

 

 

She sits up tall. “So I realised that if I keep waiting until this feels right and perfect and better, maybe it’s going to keep taking forever and maybe it’ll never come out and no, I’m not down to that. So I want to play. And by play, I mean I have my ideas in my head, but I can’t say them out loud yet.”

Rihanna never stopped recording. The past years are littered with songs she’s fallen in and out of love with. She says that listening back to an unreleased song is “almost like trying to dress like you used to dress. It’s like, ‘Ew, no. I would never wear those again.’ Your taste changes, your vibe changes.” But all being well, I venture, a new album this year? 

 

“I want it to be this year,” she says, at this stage very much aware she is pregnant again. “Like, honestly, it’d be ridiculous if it’s not this year. But I just want to have fun. I just want to make music and make videos.” She misses the visuals almost more than music. “And I need the right background music with the visuals. I can’t just go shoot a video to me talking,” she says, laughing once again.

I think it is.

 

This interview was more thorough and she was more direct with her thoughts on the album and the release. She even admitted she’s felt pressure.

 

I don’t think she playing this time, pregnancy or not.

If it comes, I will be PERCHED. But if not… well it’s just as I expected

Maybe the inspiration has come back to her.

Hard to believe anything she says anymore, but this is probably the biggest R9 update we've ever gotten 

[Mitsouko]

I have to laugh.

[Katamari]

the local man ruins it tbh  

[MingYouToo]

A week of therapy and ruminating about my mixed feelings towards miss Fenty I am here to submit my resignation as a member of the ORH community effective immediately, this is however granted that miss Fenty releases her album this year with full visuals.

 

Once she fulfills this promise, all parties involved will hear and see nothing from me but praise and Top 5 on my Last.FM and Spotify.

 

Amen.

 

is2g she better not break her listeners' hearts one more time. i cant wait for the radio bops reclaim your throne!

 

 

[SylMacPer]

I'll believe it when I see it.

All the songwriters who went to so much effort writing songs for her and all they get in return is "Ew, no."    she's very spoilt

hopefully she follows through with it
