Rihanna is back, surprising fans with a taste of her hotly-anticipated LP as a gift to her “Navy“, a collective term for her loyal supporters.
The news of her latest album comes after the 27-year-old beauty shared her first single, ‘Work’, which features Drake. The track originally came about at one of the ‘Hotline Bling‘ rapper’s pool parties last summer and was recorded not long after.
ANTI also includes a cover of Tame Impala‘s track ‘New Person, Same Old Mistakes’ which is retitled ‘Same Ol’ Mistakes’ at track nine.
Sharing a link to download via streaming service TIDAL, she wrote:
“Gift to my navy!!! #ANTI Download with code: ANTI http://smarturl.it/RihANTI @samsungmobileus (sic)”
Within hours, ‘Work’ has rocketed to the number one spot in 70 countries worldwide.
