Rihanna led fans to believe that her "Anti" was very close to being released when she launched the ANTidiaRY.com website last month. However, one of her collaborators has just revealed that the Bajan singer isn't ready to drop anything now because she hasn't even finished working on the long-awaited album.
In a new interview on BBC Radio 2, Sia Furler said that RiRi was still looking for songs to be included on what would be her eighth album. "The other night she came over and listened to half of 25 songs I played her because she's still looking for songs for her new album," she said.
"She was there to listen to songs and see if there was anything that she was into," the Aussie singer/songwriter added. "It was a business meeting for sure. She took four [songs] but I don't know if they'll end up [on the album]."
Sia was the one responsible for RiRi's 2012 hit "Diamonds". She also offered the 27-year-old superstar the song "Alive", which eventually appears on Sia's own album "This Is Acting".
So, it looks like fans won't get "Anti" this year after all. Having been teased for months, the project is now expected to arrive in 2016 before she kicks off her "Anti" world tour in February.
