VOGUE: Rihanna Plans To Release Her 9th Studio Album In 2023 / Talks #R9 Pressure.

[Diocles]

Poor, poor Navy.

[Tangane]

"I want it to be this year. Like honestly, it’d be ridiculous if it’s not this year."

 

Can we quote that back to her on the Savage red carpet in 2024?

[SpaceOddity]

Is it possible the mixed reaction to lift me up scared her a bit?

I mean... surely "Lift Me Up" is not the type of song she was thinking about when she talked about being "adventurous" and "having fun" with her music! I sure hope so!

[Jessie]

Stunning! She is serving classique Bond girl realness here.

[RunUpDoneUp]

See how she lies? Casually.

 

Where's the album, ma'am?

[Troll Idle]

I don't like the photoshoot. She lokes like a drunk goth chick. Her son is very cute though. I'm a bit angry since she lies to us over and over again. Just drop the stupid album or be honest and say that you are a full on Avon mom now

[Lightbringer007]

Well ... least its something

 

I'm a remain optimistic (yikes I know)

[Caribbean Boy]

Do ya thang I guess

I like this hair on her, but what's going on with her expression in some of the pics

truly a "i would rather be smoking weed" moment

[Superbitch]

An Avon lady that’s all I see 

[MadonnasBoyfriend]

Was wondering how she had the superbowl baby so fast

[James_Joint]

The photos look amazing.  
 

As far as R9, I’m surprised she even stated a year, given ha infamous “2019”.  

[Asparagus Spears]

She’s been stringing along her fans for 6 years. It’s what made me unstan her initially. It was like she kept saying something was coming but it never happened. 
 

I stupidly got back into her during the superbowl but after reading that piece in vogue, I’ve changed my mind again. She needs to either drop the album or just tell her fans she’s not really into music anymore (which is understandable)

[Caribbean Boy]

sure jang 

[torontowest91]

I feel like if she was going to do new music, it would of been for the Super Bowl... I think she missed it now. 

At this rate, Britney Spears will have new music before Rihanna!

[bync]

ANTi IS her best work so i would feel pressure too

 

i'm not mad anymore, it will come when it comes and it'll be good i'm sure

[Kingpin]

It’s giving Agatha Harkness 

[freakum.]

Wait. The photoshoot for this was in December but the interview was taking place 3 days after the Golden Globes so I think she's saying she didn't know she was pregnant when she was photographed but in the beginning of the interview they say she is in a hoodie hiding the bump (it was 5 weeks before Superbowl) and she hints a few times so how do they say she is unaware during the music part  

 

If she did know she was pregnant during this time, I have some hope that she will at least drop a single. I would be down with her just dropping songs when she wants until she is comfortable releasing an album. I just hope if it she changes her mind she will just say it's not coming instead of being so vague.

This magazine shoot and interview took place in December 2022.

 

As per the interview she was aware she was pregnant then. 
 

Also…

 

The album is coming. 

 

Did we read the same interview?

 

“I want it to be this year,” she says, at this stage very much unaware she is pregnant again.

Probably like all the other years where she lied with receipts

[Breathe On Moi]

she looks breathtaking and such a cute baby boy. 
 

that man is giving submissive bottom energy and I’m sure she loves that

We will have to add the Vogue quote in Alexa's voice to this montage

[nick4bty]

I honestly don't get her. I'm not sure I've ever heard her talk so passionately about her music before this interview  She clearly loves Anti, actually remembers album cuts lmao, clearly liked being more involved in the process of making that album, seems to still enjoy making music, but can't just sit down and put something out? She could've had 2-3 albums released already. I just don't get it. She says she wants to put out an album, wants to make visuals... then just ******* do it. At this point, I'm not even sure I believe her. I'm not even sure I believe she gave these quotes in the interview. None of it makes sense. How Universal is allowing this is beyond me

lmfao but i believe her when she says she's scared to release new music because her previous album was universally praised as her best work
