Rihanna is almost ready to unveil the follow-up to 2012's Unapologetic and while we've been patient thus far, WE JUST CAN'T WAIT ANYMORE. We. Need. Answers. Based on all the rumors around her new album, it looks like we're not the only ones who feel this way, so here's what we know so far.
The singer's latest will most likely be titled R8 (or #R8), as Rihanna's #NAVY has been going HAM on Twitter with the hashtag #R8. The singer also posted a picture on Instagram of our favorite basic-hater Baddie Winkle, wearing a "bad gal" hat no less, with the caption, "the 'where is #R8?' starter pack" last month.
There's also been plenty of rumored collabs so far: at the behest of Drake, Ty Dolla $ign worked on a track for the album, Kieza has said that "Rihanna recorded two or three of my songs.

-- Rihanna (@Rihanna2) January 4, 2015Rihanna has also teased a few tracks from the album on her Instagram, including "Kiss It Better" and an untitled track with the lyrics "ain't none of this shit promised...ain't none of this shit certain," which could accurately sum up all this speculation.
This leaked song could also appear on the album:
But perhaps the most exciting news is that Rihanna has registered a new track title, "Burritos," which we can only hope is literally and spiritually about burritos, as well as on the new album. All hail Rihanna, snackwave empress and slobcore queen.
