Legal for Westbury Road Entertainment: Edward Shapiro & Tiffany Almy for Reed Smith LLP To debut the video for her hit "Bitch Better Have My Money," the singer took dozens of her biggest fans on a wild crosstown Los Angeles surprise adventure.A&R: Omar Grant, Tyran “TyTy” Smith, Jay BrownĪ&R Coordination: Omar Grant and Jennifer RosalesĬreative Direction: Robyn Rihanna Fenty & Ciarra PardoĬover and Back Cover Poetry : Chloe Mitchell & Robyn Rihanna Fenty That later turned out not to be the case, as West spent much of the year delaying his own album, "Waves" (the second time he's changed the name). The bare-bones soft rocker featured Paul McCartney and Kanye West, who announced he was executive producing the album ahead of the trio's performance at the Grammys. Last January, she dropped what was said to be the album's first single, "FourFiveSeconds," without warning. That she called "Work" the album's "first single" only added to the intrigue - and confusion - of the album's campaign, which kicked off exactly a year ago this week. The Caribbean-tinged "Work" quickly shot up the iTunes singles chart when it was released Wednesday morning, and it seems like a guarantee that the bouncy DJ Mustard-produced anthem "Needed Me" and the previously teased "Kiss It Better" will be radio mainstays in the coming months.Īfter seven years of consistently churning out an album a year - four of them released in consecutive Novembers - the singer took her time with "Anti," but the road to the album's release has been an arduous one, with a number of false starts, cryptic reveals and scant details. Not that there aren't bangers on the album there are plenty. The album isn't rife with radio-primed hits or stick closely to the R&B, dance and pop beats that have yielded her the biggest hits of her career. Guest appearances are sparse - just Drake on the aforementioned "Work" and alt-R&B singer SZA on album opener "Consideration."
