Anti is going to suck. Bet that title was concocted solely for the fact that her Salvation Army Team of songwriters and producers didn't have enough recyclable chart fodder to toss onto the assembly line in time, so they're just pretending like her music is "ALL ABOUT DA ART!!!111!!!" when it gets panned and tanks.
And who does she think she's kidding acting like she thought of that cover all on her own? It literally looks like it was a copy/paste combination of like 5 different images from Kanye album booklets smushed into one.
I actually think Rihanna doesnt want a big hit. I think she wants to be acknowledged for her album. Anyone who wanted a big hit would have never released songs like FFS or BBHMM which are not pop radio fodder. She clearly is fishing for critical acclaim this time. Was kinda obvious to me once I saw the ft. Paul McCartney and Kanye West line on FFS and the AO video. We will see if it works. Critics have never shown her goodwill in the past if I remember correctly.
So glad that the Navy is finally getting more info on R8...I love the cover for ANTI....the title though...and the whole Braille thing....is a bit too try-hard for her IMO....I mean this bisshhh wants her fans (half of which are illiterate/uneducated) and expects them to read Braille when they can't read English? I mean come on....it just doesn't seem like it's her vision...just my opinion...I know y'all are gonna drag me but this is SYG for a reason...I honestly do hope she serves a lot more bops like BBHMM....if she goes experimental and her music has little to no cohesion like her first two buzz singles...then it's not gonna work
