Rihanna Gets Real About Managing Music And Building Family In New Vogue Interview

Our fav bad gal is hinting at a new album soon.

In a new British Vogue interview,  Rihanna opens up about the challenges she faces in both her personal and professional life.

The mogul graced the cover of the March edition of British Vogue with her boyfriend, A$AP Rocky, and their 9-month-old son.

The 34-year-old billionaire shared her struggles with putting ‘toxic pressure’ on herself and the weight of expectations from fans when it comes to creating a new album to top her critically acclaimed 2016 album, “Anti.”

“It is toxic. It’s not the right way to look at music because music is an outlet and a space to create, and you can create whatever. It doesn’t have to even be on any scale. It just has to be something that feels good. It could just be a song that I like. It literally could be that simple,” she said.

RiRi added, “So I realized that if I keep waiting until this feels right and perfect and better, maybe it’s going to keep taking forever and maybe it’ll never come out and no, I’m not down to that. So I want to play. And by play, I mean I have my ideas in my head, but I can’t say them out loud yet.”
Despite the pressure, Rihanna remains committed to her craft and to creating music that is true to her vision. That Rihanna reign just won’t let up.

“I want it to be this year…it’d be ridiculous if it’s not,” she said.

It looks like we may be getting a new album after all. The singer-songwriter released her first song in nearly seven years, “Lift Me Up” for the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack, in October as a tribute to Chadwick Boseman.
