Another day brings on another Rihanna rumor. With little to no details to be known about her upcoming 8th studio album, casual fans and stans alike are surely growing impatient as they await for Ms. Fenty to shed more light on the project. With the release of ‘FourFiveSeconds’, ‘Bitch Better Have My Money’, and ‘American Oxygen‘, the veil of mystery still surrounds R8. With that being said, many have been left wonder if Rihanna would stick to the traditional method of releasing her album or switch things up, especially with her new Tidal partnership. Well, it looks like the folks of HitsDailyDouble have heard some murmuring of just exactly how Rihanna could release her 8th LP.
On a related topic, why is Roc Nation’s Rihanna’s “American Oxygen” not exploding at retail? The track sold a meager 7k last week. Is it possible the botched Tidal launch put that big a stink on the record? But the Rihanna-Tidal relationship is pressing on, according to a recent rumor, which has the struggling service getting a window of exclusivity on her forthcoming album, tentatively titled R8.
Perhaps, among all this confusion, the hype for the project increase for some fans. Although, with the recent backlash Tidal has received from the masses, fans of the bad girl could possibly not want Tidal to be an option. Nonetheless, with the upcoming visual for ‘Bitch Better Have My Money’ not being far away, surely the smoke and mirrors being the album will all soon be cleared in the coming weeks. In brighter news, if you haven’t seen, check out some clips of the singer performing at the Met Gala earlier this week.
