As for when fans can expect that highly anticipated new album -- dubbed \"R9,\" as it will be her ninth studio album -- Rihanna is remaining mum. That said, it is clearly on the horizon as she is \"very aggressively working on music.\"

The Barbadian business icon isn’t limiting herself either.

\"I don’t want my albums to feel like themes. There are no rules. There’s no format. There’s just good music, and if I feel it, I’m putting it out,\" Rihanna explained. \"I feel like I have no boundaries. I’ve done everything -- I’ve done all the hits, I’ve tried every genre -- now I’m just, I’m wide open. I can make anything that I want.\"
