At one time, yearly Rihanna albums were as much a certainty as the sun rising. However, the rollercoaster ‘ANTI’ campaign saw the star’s musical trajectory take a hard left – sonically, visually, and collaboratively.
And its a trend the 30-year-old looks set to continue. Because she’s teaming up with rising alt-R&B star H.E.R.
Speaking with our friend Malcolm Music, the songstress – real name Gabi Wilson – revealed that she has “some exciting things coming up” with RiRi.
Watch below (from 8.06 mark)…
Interesting mix and one we’re eager to hear!
Much like SZA‘s enlisting by Bey and Rih, this is a refreshing move.
In times of past, the politics of the Pop sphere saw established acts play blind to artists on the come-up. Now, it’s essentially advantageous to pair up.
Indeed, on the one hand, the Rih’s and co benefit from the hype attached to new names and on the other H.E.R and the new girls get a rub from the “endorsement” of established mega-stars. It’s a win-win.
Speaking of touchdowns, get all the way in to H.E.R’s new video ‘Focus’ to see why the likes of Janet Jackson are excited about the talented 23-year-old…
She put Sza onto mainstream, now it’s H.E.R. Had the pleasure of seeing Her live and it made me a passionate fan. Im here for this.
man beater.
Lol Tyana Chris was the one who got arrested not Rihanna. What physical injuries did Chris suffer? None. Thus he was the abuser.
Can’t wait for something from Riri although I’d have preferred her to go a less r&b and more urban or pop sounding route but hey this could be a gem like the song with Sza but Riri is needed right now In the music mix.
Agreed but at this point I just need music.
HER is not alternative r&b. She is r&b
man beater.
Can’t wait to hear new music.
Yes. Yesss. Yesssssss!
HER is actually good live tho. Ri? Nope
Ri-Whine-A live is a distressed signal!! ✌??
HER is a musical genius! Many blessings…❤️ Kudos to Rih for sharing her shine!
IMO her live voice will make HER sound bad Issa No-Go for me!! H.E.R doesn’t need flat alto tones from Ri-Whine-A!! ???
Need a pop album Ri!
