In July, Rolling Stone reported that Rihanna is working on an album “devoted to exploring the singer’s Caribbean roots” and another pop-oriented album, per multiple sources. “[Rihanna’s team] have, no lie, 500 records for this project [from] different producers and writers,” one dancehall producer told the outlet. “They’re only choosing 10 records. They’ve been having writing camps and trying to keep them quiet for almost a year and a half now. I’ve been flying to Miami, flying to L.A., cutting records nonstop for this project.” Rihanna also said in Vogue‘s June album that she was planning to make a reggae album.
The singer has given no further indication of when the new music’s coming, but hey, at least she wants us to know now it’s an active work in progress.
