Rihanna is officially back with her eighth studio album.
Earlier this evening at an album preview event in L.A., Rihanna shared details about her upcoming project, Anti. According to her Instagram post, the album was named as such through “continuing to follow her own instincts.” With it, she hopes to “make an impact by doing the very antithesis of what the public expects.”
The album artwork was created by Roy Nachum, a New York-based painter, sculptor, and installation artist whose focus is on human perception, specifically experimenting with Braille in his recent works (which is featured in Rihanna’s album art).
