Rihanna Incredible!

Dec 17, 2018 | 5:15 AM

Rihanna‘s vocal producer Kuk Harrell has dropped some deets on her upcoming ninth album. In a clip posted on Twitter, Harrell said, “Everything is great. ‘R9’ is amazing. . . . Incredible. That’s all I’m a say. ”

No word on when the project will be released.

Rumors have been going around that ‘R9’ will have a Carribbean sound and will be dancehall inspired.

She mentioned the possibility of doing a reggae album to Vogue earlier this year. Chioma Nnandi said, “She plans to make a reggae album. Though it’s too soon to name a full list of collaborators, one early influence may be Supa Dups, the Jamaican-born record producer who has worked with such dancehall greats as Beenie Man, Sean Paul, and Elephant Man.”

Meanwhile, back in July, Rolling Stone reported that the singer has “500 records for this project [from] different producers and writers.” An anonymous producer said, “They’re only choosing 10 records. They’ve been having writing camps and trying to keep them quiet for almost a year and a half now. I’ve been flying to Miami, flying to L.A., cutting records nonstop for this project.”

The album will reportedly be dedicated to Rihanna’s reggae idol, Bob Marley.
