Rihanna, who we're used to pumping out albums on an annual basis, is long overdue with her eighth studio album but it looks like it could be coming any day now as last night she unveiled the album title and artwork at an event in Los Angeles last night.
Set up in the MAMA Gallery, Rihanna displayed the album cover, created by artist Roy Nachum, and revealed that it will be called 'ANTI'. Why? Well we'll let her tell you that (via art).

Unfortunately we're still without a release date but fingers crossed she does a Beyoncé and drops it on us before Christmas at least. But if there's a now option, we'll take that too.
