Read moreRihanna, the multifaceted artist and entrepreneur, has kept fans eagerly awaiting her next album since the release of ANTI in 2016. In a recent interview with Extra TV, she finally provided some insights into what listeners can expect from her forthcoming project. Describing it as "amazing," Rihanna emphasized that the album has to reflect her growth and evolution over the years. She views music as a playground and wants her new work to be fun and truly representative of her current state of mind. When asked about potential collaborations, she stressed that any features would be very intentional, signaling that this project is deeply personal and thoughtfully curated.
In addition to her musical pursuits, Rihanna discussed her plans for this year's Met Gala, hinting at a more understated appearance compared to her past extravagant ensembles. She revealed that her look would depend heavily on her makeup and hair, aiming for a "simple-ish" style that still carries her signature flair. This approach mirrors her current fashion philosophy as a mother of two, balancing practicality with a touch of boldness. Rihanna shared that motherhood has transformed her style, making her prioritize comfort and adaptability while still reminding herself of her inherent "bad bitch" energy.
Balancing her booming career with raising her two sons, RZA and Riot, has brought new challenges and joys for Rihanna. She reflected on how her oldest son will soon turn two and described the excitement and chaos of having "two under 2." She aims to create memorable, stimulating birthday experiences for her children that cater to their growing awareness and emotional connections. Despite the hectic life of a pop star and entrepreneur, Rihanna remains dedicated to being a present and engaged mother, proving that she can juggle it all while preparing to make a triumphant return to music.
