Then again, neither would’ve felt at home on the cloistered Anti, the first of Rihanna’s records to feel constructed as a front-to-back album. When Anti finally appeared in January 2016 - three years after Unapologetic and months later than expected - it bore none of these 2015 singles, a move that suggests a tacit acknowledgment that neither the curiously muted Kanye West and Paul McCartney collaboration “FourFiveSeconds” nor the unrestrained roar of “Bitch Better Have My Money” functioned as appropriate anchors for the album. Work on Anti began in the autumn of 2014 and proceeded in semi-public, progress being measured in Instagram posts and tweets, along with intermittent singles, each released to white-hot anticipation but none metamorphosing into massive hits.

This deluxe edition adds three bonus tracks, including Goodnight Gotham, known to fans under its former title Only If For A Night.Īnti existed as an album cycle before it existed as an album - arguably long before Rihanna knew what form her eighth album would take, either. Jam packed with guest producers and led off by the hit single Work, another collaboration with Drake, ANTI has been called the best album of Rihanna’s career by several reviewers. Rihanna’s first release in three years, the often delayed ANTI was included among Rolling Stone’s most anticipated albums of 2016 and sold over a million copies within two days.
