Rihanna的伴侣A$AP Rocky在播客节目中透露，这位歌手目前正在录音室进行音乐制作[1]。在The Jason Lee播客上，A$AP Rocky表示"她现在在录音室"[1]，暗示Rihanna可能即将打破自2016年发行《Anti》以来持续十年的专辑空白期[1]。
两人否认将合作推出双专辑[1]。早前在2024年2月，Rihanna曾表达对新专辑的乐观态度，称自己"感到真正乐观"，并表示"我觉得我终于解决了"[1]。自上一张全长专辑发行后，Rihanna曾推出过单曲作品，包括2022年为《黑豹2：瓦坎达永远》创作的《Lift Me Up》[1]。
A$AP Rocky has revealed that Rihanna is currently working on new music in the studio, offering fresh insight into the artist's creative pursuits. Speaking on The Jason Lee podcast, Rocky stated that "she in the studio right now," suggesting movement on a long-awaited project.[1] The disclosure comes as Rihanna considers her return to recording following a substantial hiatus from full-length album releases.
Rihanna's last studio album, Anti, was released in 2016, marking nearly a decade since her previous full-length effort.[1] However, she has not remained entirely absent from music during this period, releasing singles including "Lift Me Up" for the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack in 2022.[1] In February 2024, Rihanna expressed optimism about her creative direction, stating that she felt "really optimistic" about new material and believed "I've finally cracked it."[1] Rocky and Rihanna denied plans to collaborate on a joint album, clarifying that the studio work pertains to Rihanna's solo project.[1]
