RIHANNA GETS TO WORK (UPDATE)
Sources say that, after much anticipation and numerous false starts, Rihanna’s ANTI will be released this week. The Westbury Road/Roc Nation release is spearheaded by a single featuring Drake, "Work," which went to radio today.
"Work" initially appeared on Tidal but showed up on Apple Music and iTunes around 10am ET.
Spotify also has the single, but it's flagged as “paid tier only,” meaning it’s Spotify’s decision to hold it back, not Roc Nation’s. The conjecture is that doing it this way gives Tidal an advantage without hurting Rihanna at iTunes/Apple Music (Coldplay being a previous Tidal-artist example).
There are conflicting reports on the release date; some believe it will drop on 2/12, putting Rihanna in direct competition with Kanye West.
mess if she releases same day as Kanye.... Friday pls
They'll get product placed in prime real estate (online and in-store) right next to each other. So if people are interested in one, they just might pick up BOTH.
