When Rihanna last shared an update about her upcoming ninth studio album"Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets" European Premiere - Red Carpet Arrivals - Source: GettyIn an interview with Harper's Bazaar in February this year, Rihanna last shared an update about her next album. She mentioned she has finally "cracked" her new album and suggested that she was working on it. However, she did not promise a release timeline. "I’ve been in the studio the whole eight years. But it didn’t hit me. I was searching for it. I went through phases of what I wanted to do. ‘This kind of album, not that album.’ I know it’s not going to be anything that anybody expects. And it’s not going to be commercial or radio digestible. It’s going to be where my artistry deserves to be right now. I feel like I’ve finally cracked it, girl," she said.Rihanna also mentioned that she is getting used to being in the studio and away from her children. She continued:"This feels right. It feels like it digs right into where I need to be, and I want this. This body needs to come out, and I’m ready to go there. This is becoming my new freedom, because when I’m in the studio, I know that my time away from my kids is to blossom something that hasn’t been watered in eight years."Speaking further about her next album, RiRi also said her fans are "way off" to think it would be a reggae album and honor her Caribbean roots. She clarified that there is no specific genre to her album now, but all she focused on was making good music. She felt she could not put out something "mediocre" as her album should be "worth the wait" for her fans. Therefore, she expects her fans to wait "some more."Meanwhile, the singer was also caught up in the legal proceedings of her husband, ASAP Rocky's case. In February this year, Rocky was found not guilty of charges of gun violence against fellow artist ASAP Relli. As of writing, RiRi has yet to announce a new album or more updates about the same.
