Rihanna has recently made headlines with her Fenty collaboration with LVMH—Vogue reports that she is the first woman of color to helm a fashion house under the prestigious brand—but even after becoming a fashion magnate, she hasn’t forgotten her musical roots.

She recently spoke with playwright Jeremy O. Harris for the Times’ T Magazine about her latest projects and dropped some big news to her fans and followers: She confirmed that she was working on an upcoming reggae album.

When asked about details, she responded that she would probably call it “R9.” That’s all thanks to the power of the Navy, which is what her fanbase is called. They kept asking about her 9th album which they nicknamed R9, and Rihanna said, “How will I accept another name after that’s been burned into my skull?”

Harris also asked her about another rumor going around Navy circles, specifically about a collaboration with another famous pop star. She said that “it’s not in the books right now, but I’m not against it”, regarding a collabo with Lady Gaga.

There is no release date for the album at the moment, but she did say sometime in 2019 according to The Independent. Rihanna has got to be one of the biggest pop singers right now! It will be so exciting to see who she does end up collaborating with on the next album.
