I've always looked up to Rihanna. I love her drive. I feel like she's always in the studio because she releases album after album. I look up to her for her music and that passion.
Well, yeah. You only have one life, and that life is incredibly short. Better to leave a legacy of like 25 albums, rather than 10, with each coming out like 3 years apart.
1 year is a long time. 40-55 minutes of new music in that year is not that much in the grand scheme of things.
