Rihanna New Album 2017 Release Date, Rumors: Singer Secretly Working on New Album?
Fans still have not recovered from Rihanna's latest album "Anti," but it seems like the pop singer is already cooking up some amazing new songs. The 29-year-old Barbadian singer is said to be working on a new album, hoping to deliver it before the year ends.
"Rihanna is super excited to bring new music to her fans and hopefully get back on the road, possibly as early as the end of this year," an unnamed source said in one interview with Hollywood Life. "She has been spending her days in the studio hard at work on her ninth studio album," the source added.
Since the still-untitled album will be her follow up to 2016's "Anti," Rihanna reportedly plans to collaborate with some big artists. A portion of the new songs will also have a dancehall or reggae feel to it, reflecting her island roots. She also hopes to drop a track soon with the rest of the album to follow later this year.
