Rihanna is "in the studio" working on new music, her partner A$AP Rocky told the BBC, offering fans a rare update on the singer's long-awaited follow-up to 2016's "Anti."
The rapper did not give details on a release date or the direction of the new material, according to the BBC, and Rihanna herself has not commented publicly on the update.
Rihanna has not released a full album in the decade since "Anti," a gap that has made any hint of new music a source of ongoing anticipation among her fans.
A$AP Rocky's comment, brief as it was, is the clearest signal yet, per the BBC's report, that Rihanna is at least back at work in the studio.
