The star's fanbase has been patiently waiting for a new album for years now, and back in February she did confirm that she's working on new tracks.

"Well, yes. You’re still going to get music from me," the mum-of-one said on Entertainment Tonight.

Rihanna has been focusing on her fashion and beauty empire over recent years, having launched her own make-up brand Fenty and more recently, Fenty Skin.

She also welcomed her first child back in May with long-term beau A$AP Rocky, 33, with reports claiming the singer gave birth to a baby boy.

The couple, who were friends for a number of years before they started dating, have been spotted a handful of times following the birth of their son.

Most recently, A$AP and Rihanna were seen out and about in New York City as they headed to a Manhattan Dentist together.
