Rihanna Spills the Tea, More Kids with A$AP Rocky and Her Music Comeback!
A$AP Rocky celebrated Father’s Day in style, launching a charming Bottega Veneta campaign featuring his adorable kids, RZA and Riot Rose, on Sunday, June 16. Their superstar mom, Rihanna, has also been reflecting on family life and what the future holds for their ever-growing clan. In a candid chat with ET, the Barbadian icon opened up about the possibility of expanding their family and addressed those persistent pregnancy rumors.
When asked if she and A$AP Rocky plan to have more children, Rihanna didn’t hold back. “You know what, I hope so,” she said, adding a touch of humor to quash any immediate speculation. “I’m not pregnant if that’s what you’re asking,” the “Diamonds” singer clarified, acknowledging the constant buzz around her motherhood journey.
Beyond family talk, Rihanna also addressed her supposed retirement, assuring fans that it’s far from reality. Instead, she revealed her renewed passion for music. “Music, for me, is a new discovery,” she shared with ET. “I’m rediscovering things. I have been working on the album for so long that I put all that stuff aside, and now I’m prepared to go back in the studio.”
With a fresh perspective, Rihanna is eager to dive back into her music. “I’m gonna start. So, you know, give me a second. Yes, I’m starting over, but I don’t wanna neglect the songs that I have. I wanna listen to stuff with new ears, with my new perspective, and then see what still applies and what I’m still in love with.”
It sounds like exciting times are ahead for Rihanna’s fans, both in her personal life and her musical career!

“Hell has frozen over” finds Sarina choosing peace over being understood
Sarina’s new track, “Hell has frozen over,” explores the less dramatic, more complicated moment of reaching the end of the road, being gaslit, ignored, rejected, and painfully lonely. It translates the emotional burnout into a rock-pop context that’s easy to understand.
“Hell has frozen over” focuses on the decision to step away, instead of explaining, defending, or seeking understanding from people who refuse to listen. The rock foundation gives it the right weight, the pop influence makes it accessible, and the focus stays on the emotional message.
Sarina’s art is the struggle of loss and being strong in yourself. It’s about understanding that protecting your peace is more important than being understood. And that’s the emotional balance that gives the release its character so that the subject matter has relevance beyond a particular circumstance.
“Hell has frozen over“ is a relief from the burden of carrying on a debate that will never be resolved. Sarina turns an experience of isolation into a statement about boundaries, resilience, and the choice not to get caught in the same cycle. The result is a record that’s at its best when it’s being true to what it feels like to finally be free from whatever has been holding you down.

Girlhood finds summer warmth and quiet freedom on “Lemon Aid”
“Lemon Aid“ is a warm indie-pop ballad from Girlhood that finds comfort in the ordinary and weaves in a sense of release. This song is about surrendering to the moment, finding space to breathe, and letting a little lightness back in. This reflective core is surprising, given the warm summer-night feel of the track, hinting at a moment of emotional rebalancing.
Singer-songwriter Natalie Holmes has a tender personality and fronts the slow-burning “Lemon Aid.” The production supports that softness, keeping the song’s gentle mood and intimate direction front and center. Beneath the comfort is a thoughtful examination of pressure, transition, and the need to pause.
The song’s link to the streets of Stroud offers yet another layer of art to the work. Familiar places can mean something when life feels uncertain, and the emotional scene involves storefronts, parks, cafes, and leafy, winding streets. “Lemon Aid“ searches for beauty in everyday places and rituals, finding still moments that mean something without getting carried away.
The track is the first release of Girlhood’s forthcoming album, “This Will Make Sense In The End,” a more reflective chapter with hope at its heart. “Lemon Aid” is about softness, conjuring a space where dancing, wandering, and just existing can feel like a cure. It’s an unleashing of small observations and soft emotional movement and a clear indication of the thoughtful direction that Girlhood is heading next.
