In preparation for R8 I hope she works on it in Barbados or spends like 2 months traveling the world getting inspired by different cultures/ trends/ sounds.

You know what acclaim is just as subjective as anyone me or you or any other person in this world. For me, her albums are the best. She has outdone herself since GGGB, with the exception of Loud but overall, she is accaimed enough and please, she doesn't need to please anybody with her music. Those people/critics are bias just like us. I think Rihanna once said that she doesn't care about what the critics will say as long as she makes her fans happy. Aren't you happy?

I didn't mean to condemn your opinions. I also want her to branch into something more epic next album but reading your comments make it seems like Rihanna is a very unacclaimed/trash artist when it's the other way around.

This over that >>>>

[Slim Shady]

i feel like she is changing her weave daily now

[BajanBeauty]

Lol me too. But I think 2 of them were just for photoshoots because her real hair is shaved down.
- The bangs w mid length straight black was a wig
- The short pixie was a wig

The short curls are tracks so I think she just added more, cause I don't see the shaved side in her last IG pic unless she just combed the curls over.

I want Rihanna to create another full quality album like Rated ICON. I don't care if she flops, i want that 95 metacritic score and grammys.

She already has the success. It's time to focus on the acclaim.

I just spent an hour at dinner with friends tonight discussing this.

No. I'll be happy when she makes the groundbreaking, career-defining album that I know she is capable of creating. Having hits and fun music isn't enough for me anymore. I want her to fully immerse herself in her music (It's no coincidence that her "best" albums Rated R and Unapologetic are her two with the most writing credits). I want her to prove to the world what the Navy already knows about her.

But I do feel like she's definitely transitioning and growing as an artist, and I'm excited to see what she'll deliver in the future.

This this and this!
- I mentioned something similar the other day, Im over the countless number 1 singles. Although she about to be 9 years into her career and is extremely successful I still feel like Rih is an underdog. I just want more people to take her seriously as an artist.

We know she's capable of so much more and Im sure she knows too. I've been thinking these past 2 years she went through a lot personal issues w Gran Gran and being in a messy relationship, other business ventures, long tour. Hey maybe she's been tired and stressed all this time making it hard to focus.. .which is understandable she's human. However she better use this break wisely Im not here for hit or miss videos, performances, songs. Go hard or go home Robyn (she can't take her foot off these other girls necks just yet)

With the release of BEYONCE, Rih AND the Navy have to elevate our tastes and broaden what we like. It's now or never and R8 will either cement her in Legend territory or she'll forever remain as a Pop girl.

!!!

With her new album Beyoncé has made every pop girl look basic literally overnight. Everyone has to step their game up now.

She's definitely been stressed and spread way too thin for the past two eras. She's been juggling music, movies, fashion, fragrances, modeling, and makeup over the past 2 years, all while dealing with major issues in her personal life. It's a LOT of work but she's a strong girl, and if she can make it through ChriannaGate, she can make it through anything.

Also this "break" will be good for her. I'd love for her to get all of her side projects and empire building done during this time before delving into R8.

[BajanBeauty]

Exactly, which is why I wouldn't mind her pushing R8 back as far as she needs too. Her brand outside of music has gotten so big that its hard to multitask all these projects properly.

- She's with Balmain now use that to her advantage. Learn more about fashion maybe they can do a collar collection one day. For now I think they should shoot an ad commercial if they haven't already.

- She's working on Rogue Men. . idk how well Nude or Rogue is doing but I haven't heard much buzz about them. Whereas Rebelle was seen everywhere and had record breaking sales.

Knock all that out in the first half of the year, then at the end focus on R8

[Indigo Blue]

I would love for Miguel to write for R8. Give us Skin 2.0 )

I'm praying that she ends up doing multiple Balmain campaigns. Their aesthetic fits Rih perfectly. And Lord knows that Olivier would be here for it with the way he stans.

Yassss, we need another flawless quiet storm SEX JAM.

[Indigo Blue]

Rihanna is over EDM. I can sense the new album will appeal strictly to Urban with a few mass appeal records by either Sia or Pharrell.
