Finally, word from someone who is actually working behind the scenes with <a href="/profile/Rihanna" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Rihanna</a> on her upcoming tape has given us just a little glimpse of what we can expect. Rihanna hasn&#8217;t dropped off any solo music since 2016&#8217;s Anti and although we&#8217;ve been patient as she kills it with her beauty and lingerie line, we&#8217;re all really here for one thing, her music.
Riri&#8217;s vocal producer Kuk Harrell, who has worked with the singer on her last album and also co-wrote &#8220;Umbrella&#8221; and &#8220;Only Girl (In the World),&#8221; answered some questions from Rihanna&#8217;s fans on Instagram. &#8220;How&#8217;s R9?&#8221; someone asked Kuk on Instagram, <a href="https://www.iol.co.za/entertainment/music/international/rihannas-vocal-producer-teases-her-incredible-new-album-18561302" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Iol reports</a>. &#8220;R9 is great. R9 is amazing. It&#8217;s incredible, And that&#8217;s all I&#8217;m going to say,&#8221; he replied.

From what we&#8217;ve heard before, Rihanna&#8217;s upcoming tape is said to be a double disk kind of offering.
&#8220;Rihanna wasn’t happy with how her last album performed – even though she loved how it turned out, she knows she needs a new project full of smash hits to avoid two back-to-back flops,&#8221; <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/rihanna-may-very-well-be-readying-a-double-album-drop-news.51987.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">a source previously stated.</a> “She’s currently recording two albums – one full of chart-friendly songs, and another made up of moody and experimental tracks – and is considering releasing a double disc if she feels the songs won’t mesh well on the same album.”
