Rihanna està preparant 2 discos!

Rihanna és la portada de la versió internacional de la revista Vogue i gràcies a l'entrevista que publica aquesta edició hem sabut està preparant 2 àlbums: la continuació d'ANTI (inspirat en els seus origens) i paral·lelament ja treballa en el seu 10è àlbum. La cantant de les Barbados sent que està en una etapa de descobriment on vol revisitar la seva evolució i començar a definir el seu futur.

"We always went into the music this time around saying that we were going to do two different pieces of art, [...] One was gonna be inspired by the music that I grew up listening to. And one was gonna be the evolution of where I'm going next with music."

La Riri ha repetit que ja té el seu proper disc gairebé acabat però que encara no ha tancat la data de llançament. El que sí que ha explicat és que serà una continuació de ANTI i que tindrà tocs de reggae, ja que és un gènere que sempre li ha agradat, malgrat que ara estigui una mica allunyada d'aquesta cultura, és l'entorn en el qual va créixer i mai ha marxat d'ella.

"Reggae always feels right to [her.] It's in [her] blood.[...] I like to look at it as a reggae-inspired or reggae-infused album. [...]It's not gonna be typical of what you know as reggae. But you're going to feel the elements in all of the tracks. [...] It doesn't matter how far or long removed I am from that culture, or my environment that I grew up in [...]It never leaves. It's always the same high. Even though I've explored other genres of music, it was time to go back to something that I haven't really homed in on completely for a body of work."

Rihanna també ha explicat perquè va rebutjar participar en la Super Bowl l'any passat. Va ser en suport al jugador Colin Kaepernick i en rebuig a la brutalitat policial, la desigualtat social i a l'opressió de la NFL contra la comunitat afroamericana.

"I couldn't dare do that,"[referint-se a actuar a la Super Bowl]. "For what? Who gains from that? Not my people. I just couldn't be a sellout. I couldn't be an enabler. There's things within that organization that I do not agree with at all, and I was not about to go and be of service to them in any way."

La cantant també ha parlat de la política de Trump i ha criticat els afusellaments massius d'El Paso i Dayton a principis d'aquest any. Ha dit que és l'ésser humà més malalt.

"People are being murdered by war weapons that they legally purchase. This is just not normal. That should never, ever be normal. And the fact that it's classified as something different because of the color of their skin? It's a slap in the face. It's completely racist. Put an Arab man with that same weapon in that same Walmart and there is no way that Trump would sit there and address it publicly as a mental health problem. [...] The most mentally ill human being in America right now seems to be the president,"
