We may not know precisely when Rihanna’s new reggae album is dropping — but we know that she’s still busy working on it after her recent interview with British Vogue.
When asked about themes of the album, RiRi said, “I don’t want my albums to feel like themes,” she said. “There are no rules. There’s no format. There’s just good music, and if I feel it, I’m putting it out.”
When asked whether she was doing away with the reggae theme, she said — “Oh no, that is happening.”
“I feel like I have no boundaries. I’ve done everything – I’ve done all the hits, I’ve tried every genre – now I’m just, I’m wide open. I can make anything that I want,” she continued.
Rihanna broke history with the May edition of the magazine, becoming the first person ever — male or female, to rock a durag on the cover.
“Rihanna is a woman I am lucky enough to count among my closest creative collaborators. And did I ever imagine that I would see a durag on the cover of Vogue? No, reader, I did not. Although this potent symbol of black life – of self-preservation, resistance and authenticity – has an important place in popular culture, it is rarely viewed through the prism of high fashion,” Edward Enninful, the magazine’s editor-in-chief wrote.
