This album is a perfect example of how to end a career. 

​be quiet you fool  we haven't even heard a third of the album so save your judgment until then.

​I don't think Natalia was apart of R8.

I LOVE Rih and was super super super stoked about this album. Ever since Rihanna and everyone else has associated with Tidal its all gone down hill. American Oxygen was such a highly anticipated song and it didn't live up to the expectation. BBHMM was amazing and played everyone. DON'T DENY! Four Five Seconds was Meh, I could take it or leave it. I'm excited about the album but more for the tour. I however did NOT like that stupid little interlude she posted on her website that she called James Joint. It was horribly written. Like the lyrics were just complete and utter ****. Honestly when I first read the song titles I believed it, but now i'm not so sure. It would make sense that the album comes out within the next month though. We have 3 singles from it and no title, cover, release date.....so that leads me to believe it will be randomly dropped. I'm also convinced it will come out soon as she is performing at a festival in september and i'm convinced it will be apart of the tour. So if the album drops within a month dates will follow soon and Rih will slay the world with another tour and hit single.

Here’s what we know: Recently, “Kiss It Better” was registered on Songfile, a music licensing database. According to Songfile, the track was written by Rihanna, pop singer Natalia Kills, 

although who knows if that songs still on the album

Honestly I think this album seems dope as hell. Its underperforming but considering all the crap like Ellie Goulding and **** thats topping the charts at the moment it doesn't really bother/surprise me.

​excuse you? Ellie Goulding is an amazing artist.

This tracklisting is most likely real.

A presence looms in a nighttime Versailles. Captured by Steven Klein’s camera, Rihanna passes through the sumptuous salons and the Hall of Mirrors to the rhythm of the track “Only If For a Night”, produced by Midas, and which will be the opener to her upcoming album. Enigmatic and enchanting, the singer heads to the palace gardens, where their box hedges, clipped to spell the House’s emblematic initials, convey a fairytale air. As the only light, the glow of candles and moonbeams highlight the details of the Esprit Dior Tokyo collection: the metallic closure and cannage of the Diorama bag, the silvered spangles of a dress, the finely-crafted metal of the Tribale earrings, the sequins sprinkling a nose veil.

​Right, I like the cover (if it's legit). I always find it very ballsy for a pop girl to release an album where her face is not on it. And that one's intriguing. However, when it comes to good music.... from what we've heard, the album only has the looks of it

[AmenTheNight 1,084]

I don't understand what's happening with Rihanna. She went from the untouchable popstar, fashion icon and unstoppable hitmaker to an underwhelming moderately-relevant artist. If #R8 doesn't make up for all this mess and doesn't meet some success, then she'll be the example of the biggest and fastest downfall in our modern pop industry.

Girl, get your **** together, bring some cohesiveness and quality into your game and start a proper era, please.

R8 IS COMING THIS MONTH. 

 

Dior posted this message with Rihanna's short film for Only If For A Night before quickly removing the "scheduled for release this month" after fans went into a frenzy.

They updated the post now without the album "scheduled for release this month".
