Rihanna Says She’s ‘Experimenting’ On Long-Awaited Album

Rihanna may be consumed with building her Fenty beauty empire, but she didn’t forget about her music fans.

The singer offered a hopeful update on her long-awaited R9 album ahead of the taping of the Savage x Fenty Show Vol. 3.

“You’re not going to expect what you hear. Just put that in your mind,” she said. “Whatever you know of Rihanna is not going to be what you hear. I’m really experimenting. Music is like fashion. You should be able to play. I should be able to wear whatever I want. I treat music the same way. So I’m having fun and it’s going to be completely different.”

There’s no tentative release date for this mystery project but fans can certainly expect some new Fenty.

Its been five years since the release of Riri’s latest musical effort, ANTI which featured fan-favorites like “Work,” “Love On The Brain,” and “Needed Me.”

The annual Savage x Fenty show will air Friday, September 24th on Amazon Prime.

“The cat suits, the crotchless,” she said, speaking of the forthcoming collection. “All the bras that make my boobies sit up, because, you know, I’m 33 now. They’re not where they used to be. I’m just looking forward to actually seeing my pieces on the talent, seeing it on so many different body shapes and silhouettes, because that’s what brings the pieces to life.”

The show features performances by Nas, Ricky Martin, Jasmine Sullivan, Daddy Yankee and Normani. Adriana Lima, Gigi Hadid, Vanessa Hudgens, Erykah Badu and Alek Wek and Jeremy Pope make special appearances.
