While speaking to EXTRA about what her potential new album brings to the table, the Diamond singer expressed her excitement over it, saying that it is going to be amazing. Her ninth album is supposedly going to chronicle the evolution of the star, which is what kept her from delaying the release for so long. “It has to be — that is the only reason it's not out yet. If I'm not feeling it and I'm not feeling like it represents the evolution, the time I spent away,” said Rihanna.

Rihanna adds that to her, music is the playground, and she wants to roll with it and show where she is truly at in her life. As for the collaborations, Rihanna has not revealed any names to feature on the album. "I'm not a big collaborator...
