Rihanna says she is set 'to go back in studio' after she sparks retirement rumors with statement T-shirt

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Rihanna fans can now finally breathe a sigh of relief as the 'Diamonds' crooner has confirmed that she’s working on her new album and was recently spotted donning ‘I’m retired’ t-shirt in a public outing.

“People got triggered with that retired word. They were like ‘We’re never getting an album now.’ No one read the other line, it was something about, ‘This is as dressed up as I get,” Rihanna explained during her interview with ET.

She continued, “I think that music, for me, is a new discovery. I’m rediscovering things. I have been working on the album for so long that I kinda put all that stuff aside and now I’m prepared to go back in the studio. I’m gonna start — give me a second!”

When Rihanna's new album will drop?

Rihanna has been talking about her upcoming album last year as well and shared that she had recorded new songs, back then. 

The ‘Love on the Brain’ singer said she didn’t “want to neglect the songs that I have, so I actually want to go back and listen to stuff with new ears, with my new perspective and then see what applies and what I’m still in love with,” she said, according to VogueUK.

The singer’s last studio album was 2016’s 'Anti.' Since then Rihanna released several singles, including 'Lift Me Up' from the 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' soundtrack.

In another interview, Rihanna talked about her t-shirt, “I’m not retired. I just liked that dress. I got it as a gift and I loved it….” she told Extra.
