Rihanna appears with son on British Vogue cover, gives update on long-awaited album

This should be music to Rihanna fans’ ears. The Grammy-winning singer hopes to soon release her first album since 2016.

“I want it to be this year,” Rihanna told British Vogue in a new cover story featuring images of her 9-month-old son.

The magazine notes she wasn’t aware of her second pregnancy when the interview took place.

“Like, honestly, it’d be ridiculous if it’s not this year. But I just want to have fun. I just want to make music and make videos.”

Rihanna covers the March edition of British Vogue alongside her partner A$AP Rocky and their first child. A representative confirmed Rihanna is pregnant with her second child following her halftime show performance at Sunday’s Super Bowl LVII.

The next album will be Rihanna’s ninth. Her previous, “Anti,” featured the hits “Work,” “Needed Me” and “Love on the Brain.” Rihanna, 34, has continued to record music since releasing “Anti.”

Rihanna shared a video of her son on TikTok in December. She told British Vogue she still can’t believe the experience of childbirth.

“Essentially, from one person I became two. You walk into the hospital as a couple and leave as a family of three. It’s nuts,” Rihanna said.

“And oh, my gosh, those first days are insane. You don’t sleep. At all. Not even if you wanted to. We came home, cold turkey, had no one. It was just us as parents and our baby. Man, you’re a zombie for the most part.”
