The Rihanna Navy has been begging for new music every chance they get. While the Bajan singer hears them loud and clear, she’s not quite ready to drop a new album.
That hasn’t stopped her from teasing her fans about the follow up to 2016’s “Anti,” however.

Over the weekend, Rihanna posted a video of a dog bopping its head to House of Pain’s "Jump Around."
“update: me listening to R9 by myself and refusing to release it,” she captioned the Dec. 22 Instagram post.
The year only has a few days left, but the singer told a fan in December 2018 that the new album was slated for a 2019 release.
Rihanna has been asked many times about her next musical effort, mostly on social media. As recently as November, she responded to one fan's inquiry saying, "I don't need this kinda negativity in my life! BLOCKT."

Although exactly when the record will drop remains a secret, Rihanna has shared a little about its sound. She told Vogue in November it’s "reggae inspired.”
"It's not gonna be typical of what you know as reggae. But you're going to feel the elements in all of the tracks," she said in the November issue. "Reggae always feels right to me. It's in my blood. It doesn't matter how far or long removed I am from that culture, or my environment that I grew up in; it never leaves. It's always the same high. Even though I've explored other genres of music, it was time to go back to something that I haven't really homed in on completely for a body of work."
