RIHANNA has debuted her long-awaited, highly anticipated eighth album “Anti.” It is her first full-length LP since 2012’s “Unapologetic” and is currently only available to stream and download on Tidal.

    The Tidal-only deal means that the LP will exclusively stream on the site for one week. A 16-track deluxe version will be released on Friday. Rihanna first indicated the album’s imminent release earlier this week when she posted a photo of herself wearing Dolce & Gabbana headphones on Twitter with the caption “Listening to Anti.” Later, Billboard reported that a release of the full LP was imminent and a new single, “Work” featuring Drake, was released Wednesday.

    Following the release of “Work,” streaming site Tidal accidentally posted the album before taking it down just a few minutes later. With the streaming leak came the track list as well as the circulation of song clips on Twitter amongst fan sites who were quick enough to spot the leak.

    Since “Unapologetic,” the Barbadian pop star has gone on two tours, including her 2013 Diamonds World Tour and co-headlining North American trek with Eminem, 2014’s Monster Tour. She began teasing an imminent release of her eighth LP in early 2015 with the release of the trap-folk single “FourFiveSeconds,” featuring Kanye West and Paul McCartney. She followed the star-studded track with “Bitch Better Have My Money” and “American Oxygen.” All three were absent from the final track list for “Anti.”

    Rihanna will launch an “Anti” world tour in February. Travis Scott, who co-produced “Bitch Better Have My Money,” will open for her on her North American dates while the Weeknd and Big Sean will join her for the European leg of the tour.(SD-Agencies)
