Rihanna celebrates 10th anniversary of ‘ANTI’ album: ‘My 2016 post wins’

Dear Robyn Rihanna Fenty,

Hello, Miss. I know you’re counting your tending to your mate and babies and billions of dollars right now. I just wanted to talk to you about ANTI. This work solidified your mystique, your ability to hide in plain sight. While everyone is clamoring for a follow-up to your excellent work, I know better. And it’s not just about your beautiful bundles of joy or Rocky or the money. Of course, that must play a role in the fact you’ve not released any recordings in a decade. But the main point is that you do not drop another album ever. Here me out, though.

You can go down in history with ANTI as your masterwork, your magnum opus. When you consider the reality of the game right now, there are just hit-chasers and formulaic models, not that there’s anything especially wrong with that. Now, what you want to do is focus on Fenty X Savage. The art will always be there as long as you’ve got writers and that distinctive voice.

Remember that your supporters seek to know more about the thoughts behind “Kiss it Better.” Let them wonder. Let them take on the role of musical detectives and investigate the intricacies of this superb song.

You should just not make anymore music. For all the Internet memes and videos posted begging, pleading, crying for you to release another tape, do like the late great Michael Jackson did and make them wait. You should come out with music in the 2030's or 2040’s just to shock the system. ANTI makes clear the breath between another breath. It is such a monumental work that it deserves to breathe on its own.

All of your family, fortune, and fame you treasure. To make new music would mean you would have to overcome over a decade’s worth of superior efforts.

Just hold onto your better half and treat your Fenty X Savage projects with the same intensity and perfection as you displayed on ANTI. It’s beautiful that you became a billionaire, Rocky beat the cases, and you welcomed another baby to your progeny.

Bring that same energy to your other projects outside of music. Everyone knows you never have to achieve another streaming feat again. That’s for sure. What you want to do, Miss Fenty, is bring a total existence out there and continue down your road to monetary success. Allow the Navy to wonder if they’ll ever get a major product again. Live in the present and plan for the future while only looking into the rearview to understand your position on the world. Okay?

There’s nothing you have to do musically that will even come close to your riches. This is not a diss. It’s just true. Art, though, doesn’t have to fight commerce. It seems as if you’ve been able traverse the torrid and windy field of the music industry. You’ve done it with aplomb. Your abilities extend to both the inspirational and industrial, with ease. Your greatest artistic achievement happens to be your last (so far). If you continue under the steam of your creativity in fashion and fragrances, then you’ll have enough stamina to outlast whatever crop of pop princesses that will crop up on the scene. All you have to do is ensure that you’re focused on the money. Music gave you your first taste of millions but billions came your way via raw business. This is the beauty of capitalism. You’ve produced great work musically and through ventures. Let that be your lasting impact. I appreciate your beautiful mind, Miss Fenty. Thank you.
