Fans can soon anticipate Rihanna’s long-awaited album R9, as they believe the extended wait since her 2016 album Anti may finally conclude. The beloved music icon has rekindled excitement among her loyal followers with hints of the upcoming R9 release. During the 2025 Met Gala, Rihanna herself sparked speculation about a new album.
Over the past eight long, arduous years, fans have eagerly awaited fresh tunes from the 21st century’s most celebrated female musician. With news of her upcoming album, R9, hitting the airwaves, there’s been an explosion of excitement on social media platforms worldwide.
What did Rihanna say about R9 album delay amid her pregnancy announcement?
At the 2025 Met Gala, singer Rihanna was open to discussing her upcoming album R9. When questioned about potential delays in its release, she indicated that while there might be a slight delay, it could just involve the production of a few music videos instead.
In a playful manner, she declared, “I can sing!” which may suggest that her pregnancy won’t interfere with any upcoming projects. The cosmetics queen further added that she’s managing well, stating, “I’m doing great! I’m surprisingly feeling fine and not excessively overwhelmed right now. At first it was more like, ‘Oh my!'” (as reported by Entertainment Tonight).
For eager fans, RiRi revealed significant news about her upcoming album, R9. In an interview with Harper’s BAZAAR magazine, she said, “I’ve been in the studio for eight years, but it didn’t click until now. I was searching for the right sound. I went through different stages of what I wanted to create. ‘This type of album, not that one.’ I know it won’t be anything like people expect.
The singer known for her “Fading” ballads stated, “It won’t follow typical commercial or radio formats. Instead, it will showcase where my artistic abilities should be at this point in time. I feel like I’ve finally found the key, lady!” She also emphasized that the album won’t fit neatly into a specific “genre.
As a gamer, I’d rephrase that as: “After some time, I reflected and realized, this break from music isn’t just passing time; it needs to be significant, impactful. It has to be worth the wait. I can’t settle for anything less than extraordinary. After all, fans have waited eight years, so another wait might as well be expected if I don’t deliver something exceptional.
