Rihanna Says New Music Will Show ‘Growth’
Rihanna says new music is still on the brain and that it will be worth the wait. It has been eight years since fans have received a full album from the star. However, as RiRi was celebrating the launch of Fenty Beauty’s new Soft’Lit Naturally Luminous Longwear Foundation, she said her new work would showcase her growth as an artist.
“I want to play, and I feel like music is a playground, and I want to have fun with it and show truly where I am at,” Rihanna said in a red-carpet interview with Extra.
She added: “If I’m not feeling it and I’m not feeling like it represents the evolution, the time I spent away …There should be a show of growth, right?”
RiRi didn’t give away any specifics, including who she could possibly record with. The Grammy winner said she only plans to work with another if it’s “very intentional. I’ll know when I have the record.”
Rihanna Says New Music Is On The Way
As for potential collaborators, RiRi teased that her sons RZA and Riot, whom she shares with partner A$AP Rocky, might be featured on the new project in her red-carpet interview with Entertainment Tonight earlier this month. She also said, “I already got stuff that I feel like I can make hits out of.”
She added that she and her partner A$AP Rocky are “trying to figure out who is going to use what” as they’ve been helping each other out as they navigate their upcoming projects. She also teased that their sons RZA and Riot Rose might be featured on her upcoming project.
Her last several red carpet interviews show that Rihanna has made some progress, as she told Interview Magazine in a cover story published Tuesday (April 9) that she doesn’t have songs for the visuals she has.
“My brain is working backward right now. I usually have the music first, and the music leads me into all of these visual opportunities, and now I’m having all of these visuals,” she told the publication.
The singer also admitted that she doesn’t have “songs for them yet.”
However, she is hopeful that they will come to her, and it just might be that her process is different this time, adding that “maybe the visual ideas are leading me to the songs that I need to make.”
At this time, there is no release date for any music.
