I feel Promo would be more suitable later on in the era as opposed to prior to the album dropping. The promo in the middle of Loud era helped the album still sell decently instead of plummeting even when CKB and Man Down were unperforming.

Suppose the Shakira song peaks in April ish. If the DWT is extended it needs to end by the beginning of May. Rih keeps being her usual self. She is going hard af on R8, working with great and innovative songwriters and producers. She’s doing normal summer things like yachting, visiting Barbados, having fun.
All of a sudden, halfway through August she disappears. No social media from her or her team. Everyone wants to know where the good sis Rih has gone, especially because her feature on Kanye’s new album scalps everybody and she’s nowhere to be found. She’s on a complete media blackout, no paparazzi pics, no fan interaction. She’s GONE!!!!
Then, halfway through October, the good sis RIh posts a pic on instagram announcing the new single and album coming out at her usual November time. The song is amazing, it’s the kind of Fall bop that only she can provide. Fans have the option of buying the single and pre-ordering the album on itunes. Rih is seen leaving rehearsals, running, looking cute, her ass is bigger and her hair is curly and long! A week after the single is released a SMASH, ICONIC video gets put on VEVO. It gets a ton of views. That weekend, she performs at an award show as a surprise guest. The performance is GREAT, her dancing impresses everyone, her vocals are ON POINT, she steals the show, no one can shut up about it. It’s the most talked about performance of the night. Her fashion on the red carpet is EVERYTHING as she wears a mix of classic and underground designer clothing.
Two weeks after the single was announced, another song is released on itunes. This one is ALBUM ONLY. A list of tracks and songs is “leaked” to the press, people find out that the legendary queen Sade has penned a song for Rihanna. Rih has lots of tracks where she is co-writer, but not enough to make people think she’s faking. Finally, the frosting on the cake, there is a song featuring the QUEEN JANET JACKSON. The world doesn’t know what to do! People crack their usual jokes but it doesn’t matter. The week and a half before the album comes out, Rih goes on The Queen Latifah Show, Jimmy Fallon (She does a viral video with the Roots where she sings her ass off and sounds like a Caribbean goddess), David Letterman (His sarcasm and Rih’s humor could be brilliant), and Jimmy Kimmel for a pre-taped Friday night performance of her classic hits. Everyone in the crowd bops.
Finally, she spends the last week doing International promo. She goes to Japan, the West Indies, Brazil, the UK, and France. Everyone gets their life. Janet just happens to be doing a magazine spread around that time (Maybe she has a Black Friday or Xmas album?) and she mentions how great Rih is to work with. She talks about having a lot in common with her and believing she has a crazy amount of potential. The album comes out and it SLAAAAYS. 400,000+ the first week. Rihanna goes on tour after the grammys. In 2016, she collects multiple trophies scattered throughout different genres. The Princess of the Illumanati slays again.

Dont. LOL
- I don't think she started working on it. Even after that DJ mustard interview, that means nothing. So unless her team is making everyone keep their mouths shut (like they should) I won't be making any predictions until we see her spotted at an actual recording studio.

I need to bookmark often.

I want interviews with televised performances and a single maybe 1 month before the album drops. I'm not here for waiting forever to get a video either. I'm not sure how I want R8 to sound but I want her to get away from urban-dominated albums. We've had 2 so I'd be here for another light album

WAIT!!! A few weeks ago when I was dying for registration to open I wrote this up. This is my ideal plan for R8
Rihanna needs to do an album of reggae bops with mild electronic and urban influences. Afro-centric everything. No rap verses and only collabs with OFFICIAL bitches. M.I.A. would be acceptable. Promote all throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. Promote in Africa, show some love to the entire continent. Visit Japan for a quick minute and introduce them to some reggae jams. Spend time in Europe. Make videos with storylines and beautiful aesthetics, Record in Barbados and talk about connecting with family and friends, getting back to her Bajan roots. Her fashion should be feminine and pretty with some of her own signature #badgal thrown in. Songs should be about love, happiness, staying positive when the darkness threatens to come back, and yes there should be an innuendo filled sex jam with explicit references in patois so the GP doesn't understand it. Do this in Summer 2014 or Summer 2015. Actually be involved with the entire process. Album in mid-August, first single at the very end of June. Go to the BET awards and do a really good cover with famous reggae artists. Make a sad, chill song with the icnoic Sade. Perform it at the 2015 Grammy's.
OR
