Rihanna rumoured to release new album in five weeks

Earlier this week Rihanna has got fans ridiculously hyped after teasing the possibility of a new song coming "soon" via Instagram while celebrating Anti becoming the first album by a Black female artist to spend five years on the Billboard 200 chart.

Her Anti album was released in January 2016, and in the five years since then fans have been pressing Rihanna to release new music. Although she did make an appearance on PARTYNEXTDOOR's "Believe It" back in March last year, the star is yet to release her own new music.

Yesterday (25 March) Deux Moi posted an anonymous tip about Rihanna's album, which is, according to the source, being released in five weeks. The source added, "I know this with three weeks so I don't know if [co]Rona has shifted anything but I'll keep u updated!"

On top of that rumour, Rihanna commented on her vocal engineer Kuk Harrell's Instagram post marking her huge Billboard chart milestone with Anti. Rihanna wrote, "Need a session ASAP."
