I think Love On The Brain and Higher were recorded first, and they probably were supposed to appear on the first version of the album (the one FFS was supposed to lead).
Then, in the ''BBHMM'' phase, she recorded Needed Me, Pose, James Joint, Woo, Sex With Me and Yeah I Said It.

I think after the announcement of the ANTI cover she recorded Consideration and Same Ol' Mistakes, and probably she picked all these songs and reworked them in the past 2 months.

No clue on when she recorder Close To You, Desperado and Work, but I think she did them recently, expecially Work. It would be cute to know what songs she recorded and when, and also all the tracklists the album had prior release.

i think she recorded never ending with LOTB and higher. she tweeted lyrics from it long time ago (ghost in the mirror, a drug and a dream)

This album is such a masterpiece.

Idk why I ever doubted her.

She came with her best album yet, 10/10.

I honestly am still in shock that's in out!

I wonder if Rihanna had plans of performing "Pose" at VSFS. She recorded it about 40 weeks ago, according to her IG.

It's pulling me apart, this time
Everything is never-ending
I slipped into a parallel they'll never understand
This feeling always gets away
Wishing I could hold on longer
Why does it have to feel so strange to be in love again?
To be in love again, to be in love again

This chorus gets me every time

I never thought Needed Me was about Drake. She wouldn't drag him like that yet have him on her album and lead single and they're lowkey married so

She's obviously talking about Travis .

Still hasn't really hit me that this is the iconic #R8 like OMG.. it's here. I just.

I don't know when Never Ending was registered / confirmed
But I remember looking throught Josepvinaixa what titles we had back then in March and Never Ending was one of them. I think it might be the 3rd song that got registered along with Ehh and Burritos, but I'm not sure.

No news about the álbum on Spotify?

[rihsus]

where's next week's ods?

[lostinparadise]

I would love to know when each songs from ANTI got registered.

So someone could create a timeline of when the songs were recorded from earliest to latest. I'd think that would be dope, if someone could

Never Ending was made in 2014, probably around July. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bti3_hfCcAAmbFD.jpg

It would've been perfect for the show.

Woo is amazing. I needed a track like that in my life tbh.

Yes. Live. I swear Woo is the most interesting song I've heard from a pop girl since No Angel; I've been legit obsessed.

After a few days of listening, I'm more solid in my opinions on the songs.

1. Woo
2. Same Ol' Mistakes
3. Needed Me
4. Love On The Brain
5. Yeah, I Said It
6. Kiss It Better
7. Desperado
8. Work
9. James Joint
10. Consideration
11. Pose
12. Sex With Me
13. Never Ending
14. Close To You
15. Higher
16. Goodnight Gotham

1-10: I really, really love. It's rare for me to get so many songs on one album that I can say that about. 11-13: Really like them. 14: Close To You is just OK, listenable but a snooze.

Higher...sigh, I get what she was trying to do, but the vocals are painfully bad. It didn't click there the way LOTB did. Unlistenable for me. Goodnight Gotham ? What was the point? Those are the throw aways for me.

Really, really great album tho -- my fave since ST -- and bar none her best work to me.
