Rihanna - Angel (2019)

By March 2019 fans of Rihanna had been waiting for a new album for quite some time, and the thirst for a new project from her was tangible. In February it was reported that her new full-length release was already done, and so when a record surfaced in iTunes fans bought it in their droves, sending it to No. 67 on the Worldwide iTunes Albums Chart. It soon transpired, however, that it wasn't an official release, but an unauthorized album full of unreleased Rihanna music which was posted under the name of Fenty Fantasia, Fenty being Rihanna's real name. As expected, the release was deleted from the service shortly afterwards, and it emerged that a lot of the songs on the release, which was titled 'Angel', had previously surfaced online in some way or another, with some of them dating as far back as 2009, but the quality of the music and packaging fooled fans into thinking it was a legitinate release. When word of the album started to make it to social media, a fan asked Rihanna directly what's going on with 'Angel', to which she replied simply "Shit's crazy". Nearly three years later we're still waiting for the follow-up to 2016's 'Anti', so for now this will have to tide us over until it finally makes an appearance.

  1. Hi Since the Ross cd Soulseek doesn't seem to work for me, though other non-aiwe things work perfectly

  2. Sometimes I have to completely shut down Soulseek and reboot, so I've done that and Rihanna still doesn't show, so I reckon there's a block on it. Try sexuality aiwe and grab it from that.
