Rihanna Anti

During an art gallery, the artist and Rihanna herself revealed the title of her 8th studio album, ANTI. and also revealed the artwork. Rihanna has released 3 singles reportedly of this album but they did not do as well as expected so its still not confirmed if they will included.

In an interview with Sia, it was revealed that Rihanna is still working on her upcoming album Anti. In the BBC 2 interview Sia told the host Jo Whiley that "The other night she [Rihanna] came over and listened to half of 25 songs I played her because she's still looking for songs for her new album". She continued "It was a business meeting for sure. She took four [songs] but I don't know if they'll end up [on the album]."

This is bad news as fans here on Has it Leaked have speculated and set the release date to New Years Eve this year. If Sia's statement is in fact true, the album is further away from being released than initially expected.

"We’ve now been working in Los Angeles for weeks, as I was asked to handle and direct the ANTIdiaRy campaign for the release of ANTI.

Probably the most creative, complex and bizarre project I’ve ever been asked to handle."

Many Rihanna fans speculated the release of "Anti" during this holiday season, where sales are the highest....

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately for Rihanna’s fans, they will have to wait a little longer. Unfortunately for Rihanna, this means that she missed the holiday season, where music sales are far better than they are the rest of the year. When Rihanna finally releases Anti, they’ll be more speculation on the album’s possibly poor sales than the actual music.

John Glass, official song producer/writer for ANTI, just posted a video on YouTube of 1:04 minutes in which he leaks a snippet of Kiss It Better. He turned to his Twitter (https://twitter.com/GlassJohn) earlier to express his anger, because he was done dealing with all the scrapped release dates for ANTI and other producers(Travis Scott mostly) who're constantly trying to change Rihanna's mind about the album and the direction it's taking. He mentions how the album was postponed multiple times already (whilst being "finished") and that it should've gotten a release this Christmas.

He posted the snippet because he believes the song is perfect and that Rihanna should realize that too. He wants her to stop being doubtful and put it on the album.

Worth noting; the snippet contains vocals by Bhasker, not Rihanna's. He tweeted "of course she sounds better than Bhasker on it... and well i didn't wannna give the finished version away.. i'll let Her do that"

While I am typing this update, the Twitter rant is still going strong.

@Moderators: Sorry for the messy news update, but this is one of the only interesting things happening around ANTI's release, since this actually involves some real news.

Rihanna announced that the album is done and has shared a picture of herself listening to it (with a pair of $9000 headphones).

Now all we need is a release date.

Billboard is claiming that the album will drop this week.

Out of nowhere, and originally rumored to be out this Friday - Rihanna's album went up on Tidal as a stream, but was quickly taken down. Someone recorded it and an MP3 download of the full album is right now being passed around.

Either this was planned, or someone at Tidal made a huge mistake.
