HOME promo ends April 27, so are y'all saying that R8 will drop after that date? If so, R8 would be released only 1 month before the tour? And she would've released the lead single 4 months before dropping the album?

yes, that's exactly what we're saying. rih has to go on a WW promo tour for HOME. like forget the single, she still has to do hella interviews and red carpets. the HOME era is approaching sis idk what to tell you. R8's not a surprise release so it has to be coming afterwards (and even if it was, i don't think she would release it in the middle of a media blitz)

Well there's surely a good reason Rihanna didn't renew her contract with them. They surely begged her to do so.

True. Poor Def Jam

Is she allowed to collab with artists from other labels?

[Deemy]

I still think R8 is dropping March 24th or May 4th.

Way to make it sound as if she's in jail or something.
- She can collab with whoever she wants. But when you work with label mates its easier in the sense that money stays within the circle. & the label is likely aware of upcoming projects for either artist so there wouldn't be a conflict of interest for promo slots and stuff.

Can you tell me the definition of а lead single

But u know if that one song from Home smashes maybe they'll try to pull it on R8 too so people won't be disappointed.

Get ready for As Real As You And Me Part II (feat. Eminem)

A lead single is usually the first single to be released from a studio album, by a musician or a band, prior to the album itself's release.

Lead singles are often a deciding factor for consumers debating purchase of a still unissued album, and the choosing of which track from an album to be issued as the lead single can be crucial to the album's commercial success.

Home probably won't be promoted as much, probably interviews of the cast and like a us premiere, DW is not gunning hard for this... The Croods at this point (a month before release) was everywhere!

[Cas]

Thanks, Rider. (I thought you were banned lol).
Someone said that the lead single is the song released prior the release of the album. So a lead single could be technically the second single.

[C0SMIC]

So the HOME album is coming March 17?

Rihanna kinda pushing Naomi off of her lol Naomi seems to be obsessed with her and Rih doesn't seem to be all the way here for it

Rihanna's backup vocalist is in London. She was rehearsing in NY last week.

Lollolol
Naomi does seem clingy at times but her and Rih have a good relationship. Naomi was one of the first people to help Rih get in the Fashion industry. She seems like a big sis or mentor for Rih

I actually love their relationship but yeah I can imagine that Rih gets annoyed at times with Naomi draped all over her lol

[HumanitySector]

So my straight GP friend asked me right up (Rih is/was possibly the biggest foreign celebrity here): "Where's Rihanna? She disappeared, man few years ago she was such a force.." And I was like "She hasn't put out music in two years" and he was like well when will she? At this point I was to embarrassed to say that she already has a new song out for a month (everytime she drops a lead single it's an event here) and was like "soon..."
