Though no release date has been announced, Rihanna did post on Instagram that it was ‘coming soon.’ The star made headlines [earlier in the week](http://time.com/4062556/rihanna-rachel-dolezal-hero/ "undefined") for controversial comments about Rachel Dolezal, the former Washington NAACP leader who was accused of presenting herself as black when both her parents are white. For a cover story in _Vanity Fair_‘s latest issue, Rihanna said she thinks of Dolezal as “a bit of a hero because she kind of flipped on society a bit.” _Anti_ will be Rihanna’s first album in more than three years, which [Jay Z says](http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/10/rihanna-cover-cuba-annie-leibovitz "undefined") is because “she wants it to be perfect.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4066073/rihanna-new-album-art/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4066073/rihanna-new-album-art/"},"headline":"Rihanna Reveals a Little More About Her New Album","datePublished":"2015-10-08T12:12:12.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T11:37:51.872Z","description":"It will be her first in more than three years","url":"https://time.com/4066073/rihanna-new-album-art/","keywords":[],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"ashley Ross","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-ross/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4066073/rihanna-new-album-art/","name":"Rihanna Reveals a Little More About Her New Album"}}]}] ```
