Rihanna has now given an update about her much-waited album and has warned fans to expect a completely different sound when she finally releases her long-awaited album. The 'We Found Love' singer at the recent Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 3 events, in interaction with Associated Press, said, "You’re not gonna expect what you hear, just put that in your mind. Whatever you know of Rihanna’s not gonna be what you hear. I’m really experimenting, and music is like fashion, you should be able to play, I should be able to wear whatever I want and I treat music the same way. So, I’m having fun, and it’s going to be completely different." 

It’s been five years since the pop star released her critically acclaimed eighth album ANTI, which included record-breaking hits such as 'Work,' 'Love on the Brain' and 'Needed'. The album peaked at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200, becoming Rihanna's second No. 1 and eighth top 10 albums on the chart. The album was released to positive reviews from music critics and numerous publications included it on their lists of the best albums of 2016 and the 2010s.
