Rihanna is Experimenting on New Sound for Her New Album
Rihanna has been silent about her next project and even though she performed at the Super Bowl Halftime Show last year, the musician didn't play any of her new music.
In 2018, a fan asked her on Instagram about when the album would be released, in which she simply answered "2019." However, the singer has yet to release any project since then.
In 2021, Rihanna spoke with Associated Press to share details about the album, as she noted that she's experimenting with sounds and her fans will not expect what they would hear in the future.

She added: . "I'm really experimenting. Music is like fashion. You should be able to play. I should be able to wear whatever I want. I treat music the same way. So I'm having fun and it's going to be completely different."
As of this writing, Rihanna has yet to announce a release date for her album.
