Rihanna covers the first issue of the new, free weekly NME magazine to be launched today and distributed across the UK.
In the magazine Rihanna gives an update on her new album saying, “It’s not done! To me it’s never done until it’s done. Until the final moment.” Her eighth album doesn’t have a track listing yet, but she says, "I have so many songs I love - and they’re so different - that it's hard to actually put them all on the same album."
Fans are more than ready for the new album, Rihanna says, “No matter what I post online, within three comments there’s somebody saying, ‘Where is ‘R8’?’ I could post anything. Nothing else matters. They don’t care about anything but that. But it makes me excited, because I can’t wait to give them something great.”
Rihanna also confirms the involvement of Kanye West in the production of the album. “Kanye definitely wanted to be involved in making the album,” she explains. “So he did start helping me make it. Now we just have to wait to get back in the studio together. His schedule and mine are totally opposite right now, but I think this month we’ll be back in the studio.”
