Rihanna fans, brace yourselves—it looks like we’ll have to wait a bit longer for new music from the superstar. 

The 36-year-old singer recently shared some updates at the launch of her new business venture, Fenty Hair, telling “Entertainment Tonight” that she’s “starting over” on her highly anticipated ninth album.

Known to fans as “R9,” this album would be Rihanna’s first since the release of “Anti” in 2016. Reflecting on her journey, Rihanna said, “Music for me is a new discovery. I’m rediscovering things. I have been working on the album for so long that I kind of just put all that stuff aside.”

Originally expected to drop in 2023, the album's release has been delayed, leaving fans eagerly awaiting any new material. 

Well, all we can do is hope that we get some new material from Rihanna ASAP!
