It looks like Rihanna's new album, Anti, is finally finished - though there's still no word on a release date.
It's been three and a half years now since Rihanna released her last album, Unapologetic. At the end of last year, a "strong rumour" began circulating that her eighth studio album, Anti, was set for surprise release on Christmas Day. It didn't.
The album is expected to include 'Bitch Better Have My Money', the video for which was released over six months ago. Fans have been waiting patiently (or not so patiently ever since).
Now though, it looks like the album is finally finished. Songwriter and producer Kuk Harrell posted a photo of himself holding a celebratory drink with the caption, "Mission accomplished!" As if that wasn't enough of a clue, Rihanna then commented on the picture with a series of red balloons - a reference to the album's artwork.
