Rihanna, the 37-year-old music sensation, is set to make a remarkable comeback with a new album that promises to surprise fans worldwide. After years of anticipation and an extended hiatus from the music scene, Rihanna has revealed that her forthcoming album will defy expectations. In an exclusive interview with Harper's Bazaar, she expressed her optimism about the project, emphasizing its unexpected nature and her artistic evolution since her last release.
The multi-talented singer, whose real name is Robyn Fenty, has been absent from the music industry for nearly eight years. Her last album, "Anti," was launched in 2016, leaving fans eagerly awaiting new material. During her time away from the studio, Rihanna has been actively engaged in building her successful make-up and skincare brands, which have kept her busy and in the public eye.
Rihanna's life has also seen significant personal developments. She welcomed two young sons, RZA and Riot, with her partner, A$AP Rocky, whose legal name is Rakim Mayers. Recently, A$AP Rocky was acquitted by a jury in Los Angeles of charges related to firing a gun at a former friend. Despite these developments, Rihanna remains focused on her artistic journey.
In her interview with Harper's Bazaar, Rihanna shared insights into her creative process and vision for the new album.
"I know it's not going to be anything that anybody expects," she stated.
She further elaborated on the unique direction of her music.
"And it's not going to be commercial or radio digestible. It's going to be where my artistry deserves to be right now."
Rihanna has been deliberate in crafting her new sound, taking her time to ensure it truly represents her current artistic vision.
"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,'" she explained.
The singer is conscious of the impact her music will have after such a prolonged absence.
"This much time away from music needs to count for the next thing everyone hears. It has to count," she affirmed.
Rihanna's dedication to her craft is evident as she reflects on the significance of her work.
"My legacy is right now. That's all I have the most control over. My legacy is what I do with my time at this moment," she concluded.
