However to my fellow LOUD stans I think we can safely say that we won't be getting another pop album again anytime soon, I think she was mainly shading the hits from GGGB/LOUD/TTT.

Unapologetic the superior album stays unbothered.

I have watched the interview, and I respect that every artist needs to grow and develop.

However we are all huge fans because of her old music, so I was kind of annoyed when she said that her old music isn't her. Because that's the Rihanna we all stan for, right?. I hope she was talking mainly about her urban/rap hits that aint her, rather then her pop songs/ballads.

I expect to see quite a few of you jump ship with the upcoming record, because I am expecting a "brand new" Rihanna this era, many of us may love the new sound or many of us may hate it. But we have got to grow with her, and respect her decisions.

I'm sorry but I have to laugh at the urban/ rap hits part.
- This is the same woman who just went to Young Thug and Travis Scott concert in the middle of nowhere.

that type of music is very much her personality..

[Riha'love]

so no FFS on iHeartRadio music awards...

[MusicTalker]

Anyway, I hate that she's clearly shading her dancepop music with her recent interview (let's be honest, which subgenre of her discography has she always indirectly seemed the most disconnected towards? You know the answer). But it's clearly not her favorite music style.

She loves hip hop, r&b & urban in general so that style is very her.

[Starkboy]

The fact we could get a single or an album anytime without any announcement, I don't know if it's a good or bad thing.

I still think American Oxygen is coming on March 24th. I hope we get something tomorrow tho.

Now we all know that when r8 and the Kanye tour flops that she'll be right back to pop! She's competitive and queen has bills to pay!!

The one thing I just don't want is a ton of acoustic tracks. Mature lyrics. Mature sounds. That's fine, but give me a beat. Please.

“I’ve made a lot of songs that are really, really big songs,” she said. “From the jump, they just blow up. And I wanted to kind of get back to — not that they weren’t real music, but I just wanted to focus on things that felt real, that felt soulful, that felt forever.”

“I wanted songs that I could perform in 15 years; I wanted an album that I could perform in 15 years,” she concluded. “Not any songs that were burnt out. I find that when I get on stage now, I don’t want to perform a lot of my songs. They don’t feel like me. So I want to make songs that are timeless.”

She's talking about her old songs here...

I guess. Rih, her 21 ARTPOP era is upon us.

Fixed and disgusted

Not Rih dragging her own songs that made us stans! Like bitch what the ****? and like what Demmy said in that thread change your damn list of songs that you perform in every show or festival! I will not let you diss Mother Mary or What Now or Sell Me Candy or Hate that i love you or rockstar 101 or what's my name.... I can go on!

Drag her! I am repulsed by these pretentious ass comments. This will be her ARTPOP I can already feel it. FOH with these "real music!11" ********

[Grim]

I mean we definitely are getting a new song either this week or next since it'll be a new song at the iheartawards. It just hit me.

[HumanitySector]

On what earth FFS is memorable tho? I can't wait to forget it, literally.

Bye girl.

So you're doubting her? So much bullsh*t and nonsense in 1 post.

[MusicTalker]

LOL, I've already prepared myself mentally for this being her "REAL!1music" era after adjusting to 45S.

I have a feeling it will work, though, and she'll become more respected as an artist and vocal talent.

[Chemical X.]

I feel like some of you guys take her comments TOO literally

It's the only missing fashion mag she has yet to do.

Next is Vanity Fair

She covered it with Kate Moss already, didn't she?

Anyway all these assumptions and rumors
At first I finally want the full Home songs.

[Riha'love]

After 7 albums and at the age of 27 I think it's the right time to go next level. (I remember at the beggining of 2014 when we asked Kuk Harrell about R8 on Instagram he said "all I can say is next level")

And I'm proud of her.

I mean after 7 album and millions of records sold she can take risks. She wants to get things that she lacks on (better album reviews, more respect...)

She is getting more mature, her music too, me too. If you want bops, their is on 7 albums, 7 f****** albums.

Their is also her voice, it's getting deeper, it is perfect for soul influenced music.

Even tho I don't think R8 music will be THAT different, American O2 doesn't really contrast with her previous music.

[Starkboy]

You are doing too much. It's not like she said she regrets recording those hits.
We already knew that she's not a big fan of pop/dance music in general.

[HumanitySector]

I can't wait for her to be over this "I am an artist and make real music" phase and go back to making iconic, legendary bops instead Jonas Brothers sounding leftovers
