Rihanna: Super Bowl is one thing, new music is another thing

[Bradley 58,434]

I feel so sorry for the navy. She's probably the only artist who is given the biggest performing platform, maybe in the world, only to not kick off a new era after with such high anticipation.

[SharGaga 2,906]

Yikes i thought an album was coming in January or something. It's been 7 years and its not finished yet?

[Versace 7,925]

She’s just not in it anymore, you can tell. 

I’m sorry she’s a great performer but that’s it. Most of her songs have been written and produced for her. She shops for albums/songs. She barely has a say other than “I like this” or “I don’t like this”. Some of her biggest hits are other artists rejects. There’s no personal drive for artistry or an urge to create music. 

It’s sad for those of us who admired her music but at this point it’s clear beauty and fashion is what fulfills her most and that’s simply because she has much more input there than her own music.

Of course doing the Superbowl doesn't mean you have to release a new album but this is Rihanna we're talking about. She has taken an almost 7 year break and it's the perfect time to do it. What a waste of a platform if she doesn't.

Honestly at this point and after hearing her latest single she can keep it. All this teasing for what? Girl just release it or don’t. 

relax lol it’s a movie soundtrack song that she probably didn’t even write and was also probably paid $$$ to record in the first place. 

in no way does it mean there’s any indication that her album sound would be similar  

[monstrosity 3,939]

She’s clearly trolling (right?)

When Taylor Swift plays the Super Bowl, she will simultaneously release 13 new albums with 13 alt covers each that when you buy every variation spell out a secret message about a treasure hunt on the the 13th day on the 13th hour at the 13th second...

Thus becoming the first artist to occupy the entire Billboard Hot100 

[27monster27 12,101]

I'm confused though, didn't she say that new music was coming earlier?

The music still has to be good. Remember JT releasing new music the weekend on his halftime show ended up being his biggest flop when he had the biggest platform 

Okay that’s mainly because his halftime show was a flop lol

 I mean I was mainly talking about her constant teasing and straight up lying to her fans for years now.. Also Shallow is also a soundtrack song and it’s superb do that’s not exactly an excuse but I do see what you mean.

Cant wait for her to invent a 13th month, just so she can have the promo in line.

i was always curious how Shallow came to be.  Like i wonder if it was a song from Joanne sessions that they held onto or if it was written for the movie specifically. either way points were made by you too!

My thoughts exactly!

I think if she never had Fenty Beauty we would already be at R15
