The upcoming music issue of i-D Magazine has enlisted none other than the stunning Rihanna for their latest cover. RiRi is on the verge of releasing another effort, ready to celebrate her eighth studio album, R8. Her last album was Unapolgetic back in 2012, had monster hits like “Stay,” “Diamonds” and “Pour It Up” and she’s looking to duplicate the same success this year.
While we await details of Robyn’s new album because everything is still under wraps, rumors of collaborations with Mike WiLL Made-It, Ne-Yo, DJ Mustard, Kiesza, Sam Smith and Rae Sremmurd have set anticipation at an all time high.
i-D‘s Fashion Director Alastair McKimm, who teamed up with Rihanna and Paolo Roversi for the cover shoot in Paris had this to say about working with her:
“She really is one of the most creative, talented and inspiring women I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. The energy and enthusiasm she brings is intense. She’s the ultimate icon of our time.”
If you haven’t listened to her “FourFiveSeconds” collaboration with Kanye West and Paul McCartney, make sure you do that asap.
