All year, snippets of information have been emerging about Rihanna's upcoming album, which has been tentatively referred to at R8 (since it's her eighth album). Now, it finally has cover artwork and an official title.
Rihanna hosted an exclusive event in a Los Angeles gallery on Wednesday evening (October 7). According to reports that have emerged from the gathering, the album is called Anti (a definition of the word "anti" was hanging on the wall).
Additionally, the album cover was displayed on a wall. That's what it looks like above. Below, check out a gallery of images from the event, including translations of the braille on the cover [via The Fader]. The cover is by artist Roy Nachum and the braille is poetry by Chloe Mitchell.
It's still not exactly clear when Anti will be out. It will most likely contain singles like "FourFive Seconds," "Bitch Better Have My Money" and "American Oxygen."
