It’s been seven years since Rihanna stepped back from the music scene. After the release of his latest album Anti in 2015, the 34-year-old Barbadian singer had instead devoted herself to launching her cosmetics and lingerie brands, which made her a billionaire. And when we no longer expected it, the young mother who gave birth to a son on May 13, the fruit of her love with its darling ASAP Rocky, recently returned to the recording studios. She’s even getting ready to release a very special new single!
Indeed, Rihanna provided voice for the original soundtrack of the Marvel blockbuster Black Panther 2, expected in theaters on November 9. The superstar confirmed the news herself on Wednesday October 26 on Twitter by revealing a short teaser of his hit titled Lift Me Up with the image of the letter “R” of Rihanna of the same typography of the feature film. At the end of the extract, the release date of the song is announced: Friday, October 28, 2022.
This title should also have a very special symbolism since it will pay homage to Chadwick Bosemanthe main actor of the first Black Panther died in 2019 at the age of 43. Lift Me Up was written by Tems, Ludwig Göransson, Rihanna and director Ryan Coogler. Inevitably, Rihanna who reconnects with her first passion has delighted more than one. Internet users are already impatient at the idea of hearing him sing again. “Rihanna is back!!“, “Please come back save the music“, “I’m so ready!!“, “The queen is back!“, “Christmas came early this year“, “The moment we’ve all been waiting for!“, can we read on the Web.
