Rihanna Planning To Release Reggae Album

Rihanna has confirmed that she will be releasing a reggae album and hinted that it will probably be titled "R9," which denotes it as her ninth studio album.

In an interview with New York Times magazine, the pop star ruled out Drake featuring on the album but said she is not against a collaboration with Lady Gaga.

"Maybe because she followed me on Instagram. It's not in the books right now, but I'm not against it," Rihanna said.

The Barbadian singer, businesswoman and actress said that neither the album's title, nor its release date is yet finalized.

"So far it's just been R9, thanks to the Navy," she said, referring to her fan base. "I'm about to call it that probably, 'cause they have haunted me with this 'R9, R9, when is R9 coming out?' How will I accept another name after that's been burned into my skull?"
