Rihanna Clapped Back At A Fan Who Hounded Her About New Music

Getty Image Apparently, this is not the way to get R9 any faster. …

Ever since she became a makeup, skincare, lingerie and fashion mogul in addition to being a top-tier pop star, Rihanna fans have been impatient with the amount off time she’s begun to take between albums. It’s almost something of a joke between the star and her fans now, and she isn’t afraid to get feisty in response to fans who push things too far with their demands for new music. Add in a rumored new relationship with ASAP Rocky, and it’s clear, this woman is busy.

So it’s not that surprising that after she posted a flaming hot photo celebrating the new year, and a fan came at her with questions about new music, that she clapped back. In a poolside shot clad in a golden bra, long flowing skirt, and stringy sandals, Rih captioned the first photo of 2021 with “new year’s resolution: apply the pressure.” One insistent fan shot back “resolution should be releasing the album.” To which Rihanna responded: “This comment is sooo 2019. Grow up,” and then later “2021 energy” with a laughing emoji and a flexed arm.

2021 energy indeed! Well, if pressuring her is going to make R9 come slower as an act of resistance, then it’s probably time for all of us to zip it. Because seriously, it would be great to get that reggae album we’ve been hearing about for so long.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”

Lisa Boostani

Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.

Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.

If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.

The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.

NOAH. captures the unspoken signals in enchanting R&B track “That’s Bless”

NOAH.

“That’s Bless” captures the unspoken late-night message, the smile that was exchanged from afar, and the feeling you sense but are afraid to say. NOAH. offers a song with a smoky R&B feel and lyrics that capture unspoken tension, firmly in the realm of emotional ambiguity, where connection is clear but not defined.

This piece concerns the subtle discomfort of mixed signals and quiet longings, when looks say more than words ever could. NOAH. handles the theme with restraint, letting the chemistry simmer rather than explode. NOAH.’s delivery shows a confident gentleness, recognizing that some feelings don’t need strict definitions to be real.

In “That’s Bless,” he captures the essence of connection and the compelling allure that endures, even when both parties pretend it is not there. The composition is based on real-life events, and it acknowledges that specific attachments endure in the heart long after one has persuaded oneself of having progressed.

“That’s Bless” is at the crossroads of closeness and distance, clarity and confusion. The song doesn’t resolve the tension it talks about, and that’s what makes it so powerful. It sums up the connection we say we don’t want but keep coming back to in memory, rhythm, and pulse.
