Brooklyn Baby Posted March 2 Posted March 2 12 minutes ago, Erreur2 La Nature said: It's so fascinating that people continue to harass her with this when she clearly never cared about music. As much as I enjoy her discography, it's obvious she wanted to get famous and rich (and there's nothing wrong with that) and music was just a way to acheive her dreams. She is a married woman with a kid now and enjoys her life, let her live in peace. Well, no. She definitely cared.. for at least a decade. Does she care now? Maybe, maybe not. 3

Squall Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Not sure why people keep acting like Anti is some kind of masterpiece but whatever She is annoying and her friend is also annoying. 2 1 2 11
Burn Posted March 2 Posted March 2 (edited) I remember when we were waiting for ANTI to be released and it was the longest album gap since Unapologetic. So many people said “if she releases R8 I’ll never beg for another Rihanna album again” but as the years have gone by of course people are still unsatisfied and begging for another album. And I can bet you that 1 month after R9 is released (if it ever is) people will just start asking when R10 is coming. People are never satisfied. Edited March 2 by Burn 1

Your comment doesn’t make any sense the girl hasn’t released anything for 8 years (apart from her soundtrack songs which mean nothing to me).

Why would fans be satisfied after an 8-year gap though... make that make sense babes 2
I Am Music Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Just drop a hits collection and record two new songs and we’ll go away. Maybe even re record some of them.
Bloody Willy Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Is this new album needed anyway? I never hear the GP wishing for a new Rihanna record, i.e. a majority of my friends who are low key pop music/culture fans can't even name an album track of hers besides maybe a couple on ANTI (which is a shame, she has a lot of amazing deep cuts). I feel like only her loyal fans (bless y'all I don't know how you do it) are still holding out hope or even wanting a new album. 1 1

It must be nauseating for the artist tbh.

xokuba Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Blood of Jesus Girl it has been 8 years now... I don't blame her or fans but this is just crazy atp 1

Love how the entire general public was able to tell you this themselves Your friends are not the GP. Everything you mentioned is anecdotal and specific to your experiences. You and your friends don't speak for the entire general public 1
Smilers Posted March 2 Posted March 2 For people who say she's edging the fans, has she actually said R9 is coming or are yall just putting words in her mouth? 1

The only time I've heard buzz about a potential Rihanna album was when she did the Super Bowl. She didn't take advantage of it obviously and since then I feel like the hype has died out.

Why the defensiveness? I like Ri.

In the case of LG7, Gags deserves every ounce of bitching she will get because we know damn well she won't release another record until the aforementioned celebrates its 5th anniversary.

I'm a Sade stan. And do I need to explain what life's like for an Aaliyah and Amy stan? 5 years is cake.
Galah Posted March 2 Posted March 2 No offence but who is still checking for / eagerly anticipating new Rihanna in 2024? Plenty of artists have filled that niche in the past few years (Ari, SZA, Tyla just to name a few) and her old bops are still bopping. 1
Dolce Vita Posted March 2 Posted March 2 this made me realise how almost every pop girl from the late 00s/early 10s are semi retired, shilling products for money or have pivoted to other career paths…we are in the trenches 2
Archetype Posted March 2 Posted March 2 27 minutes ago, Smilers said: For people who say she's edging the fans, has she actually said R9 is coming or are yall just putting words in her mouth? It’s more so how she hasn’t confirmed nor denied if she is making another album for 8+ years. That’s being strategically ambiguous and she knows it. Just retire already so people can move on from waiting.
