Rihanna Plans 'LOUD' Re-Release for Fall [Update]

There have been whispers that Rihanna is already working on her next album. Now Ryan Seacrest confirms reports that the red-haired diva is back in the lab with a new project due later this year.

RiRi, who is currently making her way around the country on her “LOUD” tour, has plans to release her sixth album this fall. It would come as no surprise as she has put out five albums in the past five years, with her most recent project LOUD still spawning hit singles.

Seacrest spoke with the singer’s camp and made the announcement on his KIIS FM radio show. “We can confirm that Rihanna is currently working on material and will release a brand new album this fall,” he said, while also shooting down rumors that she is dating Drake.

Singer-songwriter Kevin Rudolf previously told staging-rapup.kinsta.cloud that he has been submitting material for the as-yet-untitled project. “[I’m] writing some stuff for Rihanna right now,” he said. “I hear she’s back at it.”

UPDATE: Rihanna clarified Seacrest’s comments, alluding to a re-release of her latest album. “The #LOUDera continues with more new music to add to ur collection!!!” she explained.
