Rihanna’s eighth album finally has a title—Anti. During a private showing at MAMA gallery in downtown Los Angeles on Wednesday night, she revealed the name and showcased the artwork.
The cover is a childhood photo of the singer on her first day of daycare. She collaborated with artist Roy Nachum, who distorted the image, added a gold crown over her eyes, and painted over in red and white.
The back cover features the same photo shot from the back. “I fell in love with it because I felt like there was another spirit, another layer to the art,” Rihanna told the crowd. “This is my favorite album cover I’ve ever done.” It also features a poem that was written by Chloe Mitchell in braille. “The whole idea behind the braille is people who have sight are sometimes the people who are blindest,” said Ri.
During her brief chat, she also said that the album is done, but didn’t announce a release date.
So far, Anti has spawned the singles “FourFiveSeconds,” “American Oxygen,” and “Bitch Better Have My Money.” Kanye West serves as executive producer and she has collaborated with J. Cole on an untitled Deputy-produced track.
Why she has waited so long to release the album after 3 singles?
I read that she wanted to make a classic album with stronger material because she recognizes her music hasn't produced any classics, she said that herself which impressed me. We will see when the album comes out...
You can tell that Kanye is working behind the scenes with this project, it is very Kanye inspired... The cover is really nice and as always she dresses flawless. Style icon. She's been working for a while on this album, and it seems she wanted to take the time to find songs that she really liked and not rush everything, since she's in that place where she feels comfortable doing that. We will see about the Prince song, might not be on this project at all.. And if it is anything like that song he did with Rita Ora, I hope they dont release it... I can't wait for this album to come out, I'm sure it will have hits as per usual with Rih.

The singles haven't been any indication that the album will be good but we'll see.

I agree
But I think it is good that she is real about her music not being quality, lol that is one thing I have always liked about her. She is not phony or trying to appear more than what she is unlike some of her more pretentious peers.
