Eventhough I enjoy both songs she has released this year, I wonder what would it be had both of them be more instant and, well, Rihanna. 45s is obviously a huge hit all around the world but I feel like there's not much buzz around her name this time around. I feel like this is the first time in her entire career that people are anticipating #R8 more than anything else that has to deal with Rih, including her. That's like the best thing for an album campaign though so I guess I make no sense at all.

Make it about the music, make it about the album, less about the gimmicks and controversy relating to the girl singing it.

Impacts March 17, according to AllAccess. The date the soundtrack is coming out, makes sense. :) This leads me to believe that she won't release another R8 single until April and the album should come out in that month or around May idk~

Weak. Maybe this 2-year break wasn't good for Rihanna at all. Bookmarking for when she has her highest opening week album sales in a couple months. I was talking about music she's putting out. I've never cared about her opening numbers. But two tracks from her are out and I'm losing interest in her new album already. This never happened before.

Also, thanks to @jf816:

These two songs are among her most different sounding to date. Different doesn't always mean good but I think in both instances, she's done a convincing job at the very least, which shows that she's not only willing to be versatile, she can do it reasonably well. The songs aren't up everyone's alley, naturally, but I personally commend her for attempting these and doing them well. Depending on how much I like them with repeated listens, I might put both in my top 10 of her songs overall.

The adds date was pulled from AllAccess. No other date was given, so I guess it's not officially going for adds now.
