Despite Rumors Rihanna's Eighth Studio Album Will Not Be Released Nov. 6, Possible Tracklist

Fans have been living off rumors for an eighth studio album from Rihanna. Bad Gal had fans expecting her LP at a very imminent date. But anyone thinking the international pop star was dropping an album anytime In November is reportedly wrong.

A source close to the singer revealed exclusively to Billboard Rihanna was not planning on releasing her eighth album, named "ANTI" on Nov. 6.

Fans were initially looking forward to an album to be named "R8" after what looked to be album cover art starting to circle the net. The Roc Nation artist was pictured with straight black hair, a black fedora and a boho-chic coin necklace.

However, recently the Barbadian beauty officially revealed the cover art and name of her forthcoming album at a private showing two weeks ago. The album cover was revealed as a painting on a canvas. New York-based Israeli artist Roy Nachum painted a young Rihanna holding a black balloon with a crown falling over her face, shielding her eyes. The canvas was covered in braille. "Sometimes the ones who have sight are the blindest," Rihanna said at the event. With a name and visuals like that, the album sounds like it has a lot to live up to.

"ANTI" is expected to feature three singles Rihanna has already released over the past year. When Rihanna teamed up with Kanye West and Paul McCartney to release "FourFiveSeconds" the rumor mill was sure a new album was just over the horizon. In early Spring, she then released the dangerous club banger "B***h Better Have My Money" and the slower TIDAL-released single "American Oxygen."

On the web, the Rihanna Navy has started to sound off on when they hope the new drop will take place. Commenting on Billboard's article, Michael Cobb "Her album is dropping Dec - Feb" and Music J agreed saying "I think its between January or February, who knows she might just release it in February for her birthday... I honestly think the album is slated for a January release."

As FUSE writes, the tracklist is expected as follows:

"FourFiveSeconds"

"B***h Better Have My Money"

"American Oxygen"

"Higher"

"James Joint"

"Only If For A Night"
