In it, Rihanna appears in all her glory, alone or with Rocky.
With British Vogue, reporter Riri talks motherhood, her new family life, how she wishes the paparazzi would leave her son alone and why she said yes to the NFL after a long refusal to be the director of halftime show posters become.

“I want to make music and music videos”
Her presence at Super Bowl LVII suggested she would use this platform to announce her album release and tour.
Speculation about the release date of this mysterious #R9, as her admirers call her, has fueled the music press for years.
Finally, she surprised everyone by using her performance to reveal that she was waiting for the stork to come back.
However, at British Vogue, Rihanna has given hope to her loyal followers. “Honestly, it would be ridiculous if it didn’t happen this year, but I just want to have fun. I want to make music and music videos. »

perfectionist
In the interview conducted in January, the artist, who will celebrate his 35th birthday next Monday, suggests that it would be his perfectionism that would explain this long musical break, temporarily interrupted in the fall with the release of two songs, dedicated to the soundtrack of the film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
“I realized that maybe it will take forever to perfect and it will never come out, and no, I don’t want that.”
That’s all the more difficult, according to the star, as she considers Anti, her final release of 2016, to be “her most brilliant album.”
She added that she still doesn’t know which of her new compositions are good enough to present to the public.
“I have my ideas in my head, but I can’t reveal them.”
Only the achievements
Rihanna didn’t sing any new songs during her Super Bowl concert. Rather, she focused her appearance on her great successes, as is traditionally required by this globally respected showcase.
Among the program’s ten song excerpts, we were able to hear the essentials Diamonds, Umbrella and We Found Love.
As reported by Le Journal on Wednesday, she was able to count on the contribution of two dancers and an assistant choreographer from Quebec.
When an album is in the air, you certainly have to wait until she hits the road again. His last concerts in Quebec are from April 2016 at the Videotron Center and the Bell Center.
