Instagram user asks, “But when is the album dropping Robyn? Can we have a release date for that?” And Rhianna’s response, “2019.”  

In addition, Rihanna’s vocal coach Kuk Harrel,  also confirmed new album news.  Kuk, who worked alongside RiRi on Anti and co-wrote some of her hits like ‘Umbrella’ and ‘Only Girl (In the World) responded to fans’ questions on Instagram and says that ‘her new album is incredible.’  And when a fan asked, “How’s R9?” Kuk responded with, “R9 is great.  R9 is amazing.  It’s incredible, and that’s all I’m going to say.” 

Sources say that Rihanna was not happy about her Anti album and was disappointed with how it performed, “Even though she loved how it turned out, she knows she needs a new project full of smash hits to avoid two back-to-back flops.”  The source continues, “She’s currently recording two albums – one full of chart-friendly songs, and another made up of moody and experimental tracks – and is considering releasing a double disc if she feels the songs won’t mesh well on the same album.”  Anti included songs like ‘Work’ with Drake, ‘Needed Me’ and ‘Love on the Brain.’

But the real question is … WHEN will this new album drop? By the looks of Rihanna’s recent Instagram story, fans might have to wait a little longer in the new year.  Rihanna writes, “Where the album? Me: Sorry my connection poor.”

I mean … we can’t get mad! We know something is on the way and it’s going to be in 2019.  Realistically, we’ve waited almost three years, what’s a few more months?
