    Rihanna says her album is not coming out amid her scheduled Super Bowl performance

    RiRi draws a line between new music and Super Bowl performance

    When Rihanna announced that she’ll be performing at the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show last month, many fans were optimistic that she’s preparing to bless the world with new music. That assumption is ‘’not true,” according to RiRi herself.

    While recently talking to paparazzi, the iconic singer was asked if she “wouldn’t be doing Super Bowl” were it not for a new album on the way. “No no, that’s not true,” she answered during her Savage x Fenty Fashion Show Vol. 4.

    “Super Bowl is one thing, new music is another thing. Do you hear that fans?” Rihanna added while busting into laughter. “Because I knew the second that I announced this, I said, ‘oh my God, they’re gonna think my album is coming, I need to get to work.’ But I do have new music coming out, but we’ll see.” She added that her new music will be “unrelated” to the Super Bowl show but will be “a special project.”

    The 34-year old artist partnered with Marvel Studio last week for the Black Panther sequel soundtrack single, “Lift Me Up.” The song debuted at No. 2 on Hot 100 this week.

    Billionaire singer Rihanna reemerged on to the music scene last week with the single, “Lift Me Up,” which is part of the forthcoming Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack which drops this month.

    This is the first time in five years the Barbados decorated artist has entered the Hot 100, but it’s her 32nd entry into the Top 10s. Some of the 34-year old’s career Top 10 hits include, “Umbrella,” “Disturbia,” Work,” “Needed Me,” and one her most recent, “Love On The Brain” (2017).

    “Lift Me Up” was co-written by Ludwig Göransson, Ryan Coogler, and Nigerian singer Tems. Released via Westbury Road, Roc Nation, Def Jam as well as Marvel & Disney, the song is a tribute to the late Black Panther actor, Chadwick Boseman.

    Drake‘s second Top 5 hit “Find Your Love” was originally written for Rihanna and she even recorded her own cut

    Jeff Bhasker, Kanye West, and his mentor, No I.D, produced Find Your Love with Rihanna in mind.

    During a 2010 interview with Complex, No I.D revealed how Drake took the song. “Drake heard Rihanna’s version and was like, ‘I really want to use this record,’ and I was like, ‘Man, ask her!’… So he ended up with the beat and then when he recorded it he was singing, and I was like ‘Word? Singing. You’re really rolling with this, huh?’ Drake took it and made his own magic record.”

    Kanye is credited as a co-writer and co-producer on the song and No I.D claims they made the song in just one hour.

    According to Find Your Love‘s co-producer, Jeff Bhasker, Kanye West came up with the melody for the track: “[Rihanna] actually cut it, it was just another writing day in the studio. I think No I.D. had that drum beat and that’s the classic, ‘Jeff jump on the piano,’ and Kanye started humming in my ear. We started coming up with a melody, I started crafting the music and we wrote that relatively quickly, within an hour. When you think about it [sings, ‘I’m more than just an option, hey, hey, hey,’] that’s right up Kanye’s alley, that’s his style, that’s all Kanye.”
