After some unnecessary shenanigans involving a mobile app, Rihanna has finally debuted her new single from R8 Bitch Better Have My Money. Listen to the track below.
Early today the Bajan R&B star directed fans to a mobile app Dubsmash to hear her new single this morning, where two 10 second snippets were available to stream.
The track is pretty much as far from 'We Found Love' as you could aim for: produced by Deputy, it's a nihilistic trap-inspired belter than you can forsee is going to soundtrack a thousand stripteases. Needless to say Paul McCartney was probably right to sit this one out in the studio.

The inspiration for the title “Bitch, you better have my money” comes from cult blaxploitation parody I’m Gonna Git You Sucka. The full release of the single is expected later today.

Rihanna's eighth studio album (executive produced by Kanye West) is widely expected to be a surprise release in soon, although the singer herself has refused to release any further details.
Rihanna has reportedly been in the studio working with DJ Mustard, Ester Dean, and Ne-Yo, among others on the follow-up to 2012's Apologetic. Rihanna herself told the New York Times: "I can't give you any hints of when it will drop. It's going to be great, that's all I'm going to tell you and I'm excited about it. I try to battle myself and outdo everything I've done and that's been the hardest thing to do. You start overthinking things at times."
Rihanna and Kanye West are also expected shortly to announce a join tour after information was leaked about a date in Estonia.
