Check out Rihanna!
Ever the provocateur, RiRi covers the summer 2019 issue of Interview Magazine in a striking mask.
Make no mistake, though. There’s no hiding from Ms. Fenty these days.
She’s making a splash in many an arena, from beauty to music to fashion – most recently launching her Fenty fashion house under the luxury umbrella of LVMH.
Still, it goes without saying that new music is what fans are thirsting for most. And in her sit-down chat with actress Sarah Paulson, the Bajan belle opens up about where she is in the process of piecing together the follow-up to 2016’s ‘ANTI.’
Peep pics and quotes below…
On Being A Workaholic Trying To Juggle Many Ventures:
I don’t leave things hanging. I will work all day in a meeting, leave that meeting at 1 or 2am, and then come home with a tiny group of staff and work until 5, 7am.
I don’t have a sleep pattern. I have sleep pockets. I fit it in when I can. That’s why I take those personal days so seriously. Because it’s like, “You had all of me. I gave you the answers.”
On How This Has Affected New Music:
It’s the reason why an album isn’t being spat out like it used to. I used to be in the studio, only the studio, for three months straight, and an album would come out. Now, it’s like a carousel. I do fashion one day, lingerie the next, beauty the next, then music the next. It’s like having a bunch of kids and you need to take care of them all.
On When New Music Is Coming:
It really does suck that it can’t just come out, because I’m working on a really fun one right now. I’m really happy with a lot of the material we have so far, but I am not going to put it out until it’s complete. It makes no sense to rush it, but I want it out. I’ve gotten to the point where I’m like, “Even if I don’t have the time to shoot videos, I’m going to put an album out.
I wish I knew [exactly when it’s coming]. I have blocked off a solid period of time for the studio next month.
Say what folk will, there’s no denying a “Rihanna” campaign certainly makes for interesting times. So, we’re all sorts of ready.

I remember the days TGJ used to hate on her so bad and thought Rita Ora would replace her. Is that still the case or did y’all give up? ???
Rita Okra is just hotel lobby level kind of a singet but have a dream of a dragon ???
Rihanna- the McD of the Caribbean powered by marketing and hype! ?
Rihanna has consistently delivered for over 10 years you sound mad hateful of this woman’s success she truly started from rags now look at her if it was that easy everyone else would have done it too! Gtfoh
Consistently selling image and radio friendly songs. ??
Rihanna, Katy, Taylor… they are all about selling image!
and Miley also Cardi.
She’s done every scope of music hater bye!
From her Caribbean roots to European pop to rap to ballads she’s done it all and taken many risks and has yet to fall or decline 14 years into her career!
I remember Beyoncé’s stans being their biggest supporters. All the haters are taking an major L. Rihanna always has the last laugh
She is just…wow! To see her rise from the beginning to now. Her work ethic is not to be overlooked! GO RIRI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aFR1jfeDH4
Work ethic ? LOL. Go check what Sia had to say in Rolling Stone magazine.
Since when open your legs to the people in the industry can be constitute as “ethic”?
Another Madonna. Instead of talents, dressing funny just to make people talk. Embarrassing!
???
When you don’t have raw talent, you need to release an album every year!
Well that theory is false more than ever now. She released #Anti back in 2016 (mind you, it took her 2 years to make because she began talking about #Anti in 2014) and it is now 2019. So that now accusation is considered false and debunked.. ?
Let’s be real here. Rihanna became famous off of music, but it’s no longer her top priority. Her other ventures are bringing in the real coins, and she has now entered mogul territory. She gave us eight albums in twelve years. Seven of them back to back. We can wait for another album. At this point, she’s just doing music for fun.
Fun? Dark, mediocre and no depth more like it ???
All what you are saying is true but what other girls are really out here doing what she has done in music? If Rihanna was to drop a hit song today and an album next week, nobody else would really matter. Her music is infectious. That’s not being a stan at all, that’s just being real. These newbies haven’t even began to FIT into her shoes, let alone fill it.
Without makeup, she’s ugly as hell. She has a wide, flat nose, and a huge, protruding forehead. Rihanna is a talentless, overrated w h o r e.
No that’s what people say about your mom. Let’s see what you look like
Lame! ??
She could have gotten work done like these other girls but she hasn’t she’s a natural beauty stawwp it
Rhianna we not gonna wait for new music anylonger if she drop she drop f*** it. …she a tease f*** it
She is more interesting than beyonce for sure. And her music is far better than beyonce’s that’s why she has 14 number 1’s and beyonce has only 5 number 1’s.
People are clamouring for new Rihanna music so bad unlike beyonce. Before I let go hasn’t entered the top 40 even after she started a silly dance challenge that never took off. Shameful just shameful, and she calls herself the queen. Queen of what exactly?
It’s funny how the last time Beyonce had a number one single she was selling out Arena‘s and all these years later when you’re still clinging to chart positions like your daddy‘s fingerprints on the glass on state penitentiary visitation day she’s now selling out STADIUMS, more successful, critically acclaimed and richer than before and you’re still here bitter that your life didn’t turn out the way you wanted it to so you hate on people more successful than you.
Funny. Very funny.
It is all about marketing even with 40 #1 hits it means nothing these days. Her music is for brain dead millennials or c****** bottom like John Vidal or Caleb..
??????
I don’t listen to her like that but if you say so…
Queen of what???
She cannot sing like Whitney the voice Houston
Hey @ tyty why have you stolen my name? This blog is full of losers I swear.
This is another singer I dont mind if she takes 5 years break or leave music industry. She is not avant garde or edgy. Just boring like McD!
She is winning so hard right now! Most successful female musician of all time yasss Rihanna she was right when she told us in 2009 that Rihanna reign won’t let up!
Success of becoming a studio singer.
Live? ??
Many live performances she has delivered maybe you haven’t seen her Performance of Four Five Seconds at the Grammies or her Love on the Brain performance at the billboard awards??? She totally killed her cover of Madonnas Vogue and showed stage presence you guys are very hateful lol
Her impact is so minimal and too commercialized. No thanks!
You that’s a lie lmao
Agree… the McD’s of the tropical island. ?
She will be forever remembered as a stupid insecure immigrant who got beat up severely by her ex lover. Thats her main legacy. ?
?????????????????
A studio singer… like Madonna and Taylor!
Take your time Riri! You’re working, working! I know it’s gonna be epic! #Anti is STILL in rotation for me. #TimeLessMusic
Anti is still charting on the billboard hot 200 ! They say she’s done as a musician and yet she has the 6th longest charting female album of the decade! Soon to be 5th and fourth !Lmao bye haters !
The cover is s*** but rest of the photos are giving us the old school s*** Rihanna tease. Rihanna really doesn’t give a f*** about music anymore she makes more money and can actually be authentically creative with makeup, fashion. Etc… I mean I doubt she will even tour considering how busy she is. Her personal life aligns better with her mogul status now she is not giving that up to gyrate on a mic. Sorry navy ??♀️
Lmao, hilarious, these comments are full of bitter & pressed roaches mad cuz queen RiRi can buy & sell that h0 and still have $200 mil left in her pocket lmfaoooooo
Rihanna is worth more then 600 million wayyy more that was the minimum figure she actually owns 50 percent of Fenty Beauty which is already valued over 3 billion ! Not to mention her clothing line and Savage Fenty lingerie line that just received a 100 million dollar investment from NFP! Sis is really balling !
Nothing I said had anything to do with Beyonce and yet here you are mentioning her again I’m sick of you repeating the same s*** over and over. You need to take your meds and stay of the internet. Loser!!!
Those pics are just ???!!! Ok Rihanna!
She and Ciara could really do the damn supermodel thing if they wanted to…
It. Would. Be. Legendary. Tyra versus Naomi legendary. I’d pay Sallie Mae to sit in that front row.
I am sooooo happy for RiRi! It seemed like she was in other artist shadow, but she carved her own lane & is riding the F*** out of it! I love it. I bet her new music will be fire!
