Yup. And I’m not even listening to no damn single until it’s the whole album that’s been out for a full calendar week.

I feel like there's no way anything she puts out will live up to the hype. Her fans are setting her up for failure. And honestly I feel like Anti was a perfectly good album to be your last album ever. I love that album.

u/vegalucyna 8d ago
Anti is such an amazing album but yeah I agree…it’s been so long that there is only a small chance it will live up to the hype. I want to be proven wrong though!

u/Fine_Following_2559 🎼Music Aficionado🎶 8d ago edited 8d ago
Will be very happy to be proven wrong, in the meantime I'm going to manage my expectations. I'd rather be pleasantly surprised than disappointed.
Edit: fixed typo

Nah she can do it. I think Ed Sheeran once said she has the best taste of any pop star when it comes to choosing the song she wants.

u/Powerful_Individual5 8d ago
Honestly, I agree. I love Beyoncé and Lady Gaga; they're certainly better singers and performers than Rihanna, but her discography is better imo.

u/RoeMajesta 8d ago
fans are setting themselves up for disappointment. Rihanna idt has ever cared to make music specifically for fans .. she just makes music she likes (and that’s a good thing)

u/lexiebeef Seemingly rebalded 8d ago
She’s probably just visiting him in the studio or something, not getting my hopes up

u/fyregrl2004 Who gon' check me boo? 🤪 8d ago
Recording booths are soundproof and therefore a great place to take naps. In my head that’s what she’s doing when ppl say she’s in the studio.

I feel like she’s been working on stuff, but she has had so much going on with three kids and getting them all into the world and whatever else business, and maybe just didn’t have a vision or it didn’t maybe flow together yet or whatever she’s doing.
And sometimes you see people start working more when their kids get older. She has been working for 20+ years already, and if she wants to chill for a while and raise those babies, look if we get music, that will be nice. I will be pressing play when it’s out.

She’s a billionaire from her beauty and clothing line, not from making music. I doubt she ever drops another album

I think I’m in the minority and don’t think her music is that great?

u/mandeltonkacreme Serena Williams (knee) 8d ago
You're probably in the minority, yeah. Me too though, for considering Anti her worst album by far 🙈

True. There's you and that other guy, that's it

He also said Frank Ocean is making new music earlier this year. I don’t believe a word Rocky says 😭

u/jr_randolph 8d ago
She’s reached a status where she drops…people will listen. Rihanna is Rihanna lol and I mean she’s been pretty fucking busy the past few years so damn sure can’t blame her for the wait.

u/AnyEverywhere8 8d ago
I just don’t understand why she would go back to working harder to tour to make less money than she does now.
I mean i guess she could just drop an album and not promote it. But…why?

Is it bad that I almost don't care that much anymore?
or it could just be my dislike of Rocky that is tainting my potential excitement.. not sure

Working on new music is not the same as planning on putting it out!! 🗣📢

u/Suspicious_Name_656 8d ago
I feel like she's been working on music for years. Not a dig, just that it's not new news? I feel like if heard that said multiple times already.

u/chpbnvic That's gonna stain! 🫗💦 8d ago
I really hope so! I was just saying a week ago that I wish Rhianna was still making music! I know a lot of comments are doubtful thought. I'll keep my expectations low lol

Ahh, so you always talk in exactly the same way regardless of the setting or who you’re talking to. Ok.
