After teasing her fans for so long, it seems Rihanna may actually be getting ready to release a new album in 2021. Fans have been clamoring for more since RiRi’s last solo album, Anti, was released in 2016.

According to The Sun, an insider revealed Rihanna has chosen British director Raja Virdi for a video shoot she’s planning in Los Angeles. Riri reportedly met Raja in January 2020 while working on a project with Westminster University students.

Per the source: “Rihanna has been secretly working on new music for a long time and her ninth album has finally come together.

“She has kept fans waiting for a long time — and the pandemic slowed things up even more.

“The project is still tightly under wraps but Rihanna will be filming a new music video in Los Angeles in July.”

Raja will also allegedly “oversee everything” and be “the brains behind the film,” according to the report.

The source continued: “All the details about the shoot and the new music are being closely guarded — but she never disappoints.”

Rihanna said in an interview with Vogue magazine last spring that she was working on new music “aggressively,” and fans ate it up.

Riri said at the time: “There are no rules. There’s no format. There’s just good music, and if I feel it, I’m putting it out.”

All this comes after Rihanna responded to a fan’s suggestion that the songbird should celebrate her Billboard 200 feat by releasing a song, to which she replied, “I think I should soon.”

Before fans could get crazy about the tease, the ‘Umbrella’ singer rained on their parade by asserting it must be just one song.

As you may have guessed, that made no difference to fan excitement, as one single from Riri will suffice after such a long wait.
