It's Been 1000 Days Since Rihanna's Last Album Release. What's She Been Up To?

Look at that headline. A few years ago, it was unfathomable for Rihanna to take 1000 days (or a little less than three years) in between album releases. At the end of 2012 — the last year Rih put out a new collection of music, Unapologetic — the singer had released a whopping seven albums in eight years, including four straight fourth quarters beginning in 2009. And although Rihanna spent 2013 supporting her Unapologetic singles like “Diamonds,” “Stay” and “Pour It Up,” that year produced no new Rihanna album, and neither did 2014.

The world needs a new Rihanna album.
