“I’m starting over,” the 36-year-old artist continued. “But I don’t want to neglect the songs I have. I want to take what I have and listen to it with new ears, with my new perspective, and see what’s relevant and what I still like.”

From music to business
Rihanna’s eighth and final album, Anti, dates back to January 2016.
