It says "One Life to Life". What you think? Rihanna's never really been the queen of grammar

Well we can definitely see the Kanye influence on that.

Yep. Kanye's definitely still the EP. Her best album cover to date, though.

Roy says the album is called "Anti." edit - at first he had "If They Let Us." This is like the "Side Effects"/"Unapologetic" situation, LOL. http://instagram.com/p/8j-qr_BSlh

Great cover, great title. Let's do this! Best surprise would be for her to wrap the party by just releasing the actual album. If They Let Us seems to be just the name of the piece.

Looks like this shaping up to be her attempt at something deeper than...well, a Rihanna album. For the strength of her best songs, her albums have almost all been spectacularly mediocre to me. I love Rated R and GGGB is a solid pop album but other than that, at least half of her album is always meh to me.

A pop star labeling herself as "anti"...LOLOLOL.
But I'm ready to be slain by Queen Ri. I haven't LOVED a whole album from her since Rated R.

This whole Anti thing is good marketing.
If the album fails to spawn any hits and things continue as they have for her, she can stand behind being "anti" and that being the whole point. It's an all or nothing approach now. It was going to be too much to push this into 2016. I still say October 30th as the release date. They'll want traction prior to 1D, Justin and Adele.

No release date screams to me that this will drop when least expected. Maybe tomorrow.

A pop star labeling herself as "anti"...LOLOLOL. But I'm ready to be slain by Queen Ri. I haven't LOVED a whole album from her since Rated R. I see what you mean and I agree to an extent, but I think it works with Rihanna as she's maintained this "bad gal, phuck rules" attitude for a while now. It would seem way more out of place if, say, Katy or Taylor did it imo. No release date screams to me that this will drop when least expected. Maybe tomorrow. Hmm I don't know. I feel like the reason they have yet to announce a release date is because the album is still being finalized/tracklist being decided, etc. Rihanna said in a recent interview that she still needs to get back in studio with Kanye to put the finishing touches on the album. On the other hand, the fact that they're already revealing the album cover indicates to me that it should come like later this month or in November. I love the cover/title. It definitely screams Kanye, though.

*DEAD* @ this horseshit. She has done no such thing. The cover is very try-hard. As others have implied, it has the aesthetic of a Kanye cover. Except it's really just Roy interpolating his previous work for the mass market.

This sounds like a Kanye project, not a Rihanna one.
I don't like the title and this is her worst artwork to date-- thank God for coverlandia.

Bomb ass cover. I love designs like this, and the album title. I feel this is going to be a good album, they didn't wait this long for nothing.
