Is Rihanna gearing up to drop a brand new album on the Internet … today? She seemed to telegraph just that with this photo she posted on Instagram …
The surprise album trend – Beyonce is widely credited with doing it first, followed by Drake and others – is all the rage these days. But is Rih joining in?
This black-and-white photo of the superstar topless, with nothing but a leather jacket, was captioned "rihannaNOW.com #R8 #BBHMM #March26."
You can see why we reached the surprise album conclusion.
What is #BBHMM? We could not tell you, but it’s certainly Rihanna’s M.O. to deftly use social media to tease upcoming happenings, sans key details.
Always leave ’em wanting more, are we right?
Back in November, she was asked when we might be getting new music, which we know she’s working on but have received scant specifics about.
"Tell them they’ll have to wait!" Rihanna said, smiling and adding, "I’m in the studio right now with a killer team and I’m excited about what we’re doing."
Frequent collaborator Ne-Yo dished that "Anybody that’s a Rihanna fan is gonna stay a Rihanna fan, and anybody that’s not might become a Rihanna fan."
"The stuff I’ve heard is absolutely incredible. I can’t speak on what it sounds like because I’ll get in trouble. But I definitely feel like people are gonna enjoy it."
Not a shabby endorsement. Stay tuned …
