The \"Anti\" cover art depicts the image of a young Rihanna holding a black balloon in her left hand while a gold crown covers her eyes.

The white and red canvas is layered beneath the braille lettering of a poem titled \"If They Let Us\" written by Chloe Mitchell.

After its unveiling Rihanna commented, \"Sometimes the ones who have sight are the blindest.\"

The 27-year-old singer revealed more details about the meaning of her eighth studio album album on Instagram.

\"In her collaboration with Roy Nachum, Rihanna has changed the history of art,\" reads a post on Rihanna's Instagram account.

\"By continuing to follow her own instincts, her work strives to make an impact by doing the very antithesis of what the public expects.\"
