Ronald gave an interview with the 'Sun' and was quoted as saying, "Robyn is not happy with the album. She's not comfortable with it." He also supposedly said Rihanna "doesn't know which of the 26 songs to use" for 'ANTI'. So it sounds like she has 26 songs recorded now versus the 10 or so Ne-Yo talked about earlier this year.

Personally, I'd LOVE to see her do a double-disc album. Kinda like her own spin on 'I Am...Sasha Fierce'. I mean, the album *IS* called 'ANTI' after all. And it just makes even more sense to me since her output (singles and teases) have been very different from one another. So why not find two distinct threads (of a common theme) that run throughout her songs and divide/assign them accordingly to a disc where each disc represents the "antithesis" of the other??? It would be BRILLIANT! A whole lot of people loved her song, "Half of Me". So why can't Rihanna give her fans BOTH sides of her this time around (musically speaking)? Rihanna has grown up, become a kick-butt business woman, kissed some frogs, learned some lessons, had a lot of experiences, and now she has a different outlook on life. She's also focused on the next half of her career at this point since she's said with 'ANTI' she's thinking of songs that have meaning to her that she could do in the next 15 years. Seems to me Rih liked the success of 'Stay' a whole lot more than "We Found Love" which is probably why she tinkered with it live and slowed it down. So from that "I" get less "S&M" and more relationship oriented songs. So I'm not buying the "S&M" reference here.

And when Rihanna said, “I try to battle myself and outdo everything I've done and that's been the hardest thing to do. You start overthinking things at times.", this right here is the MAIN reason 'ANTI' is taking so long. She's the head of her own label now and 'ANTI' is coming out on that. I think her overthinking/perfectionism on this project (her BIGGEST one yet) is causing her to shut down and question herself.
