I really really hope we don't get a surprise release. Everyone on this planet would compare it to Beyonce
since when having a first single released to radios all over the world hitting #1 and then after some weeks releasing the album is a 'surprise release'?
Well we didn't know about the lead single before it dropped so I assume we won't know about the album before it drops. Or maybe we'll get an announcement a week before or something, don't forget about the "new rules"
Rihanna would hate the Beyoncé comparison.. she wouldn't.
