Rihanna Explains Why Her New Album is Taking So Long

Rihanna’s new album still doesn’t have an official title and release date, but that’s not stopping it from being one of the most highly-anticipated records in the world.

The singer recently discussed her new music in a cover story for Interview Magazine and explained why she kept us waiting for so long. Rihanna set down to chat with her Ocean’s Eight co-star Sarah Paulson, who asked her a question that’s been on everyone’s mind – is her next album coming our way anytime soon.

“It really does suck that it can’t just come out because I’m working on a really fun one right now. I’m really happy with a lot of the material we have so far, but I am not going to put it out until it’s complete. It makes no sense to rush it, but I want it out,” explained Rihanna.

The 31-year-old singer also admitted that she wasn’t able to find time to work on new music, because she’s been busy with other creative endeavors – including her newly-launched luxury fashion label Fenty.

“I
used to be in the studio, only the studio, for three months straight, and an
album would come out. Now, it’s like a carousel. I do fashion one day, lingerie
the next, beauty the next, then music the next. It’s like having a bunch of
kids and you need to take care of them all,” joked Rihanna.
