Rihanna’s fans are finally hearing her voice in a new music video after waiting for many years. A new version of her single ‘Lift Me Up’ is on the soundtrack of the upcoming Marvel movie ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’. The delay in the release of the album has some fans excited and some frustrated. One of the people on that frustration list is Brooklyn Nets star, Kevin Durant. 

His thoughts on Rihanna’s song being released after six years were recently discussed in an interview. The album will also feature songs Rihanna wrote with other artists, including Teams, Ludwing Göransson, and Ryan Coogler. 

In honor of Chadwick Boseman, the song is a tribute. Since her last album came in 2016, this is the first time she has released a song since then. During this time, Drake-produced tracks such as ‘Work’, ‘Needed Me’, and ‘Love On The Brain’ were highly successful. 

The singer was also exploring her interest in fashion and beauty before the release of this album in October. In addition, her fashion choices and beauty statements have garnered a great deal of attention.

Back in her May 2022 Vogue cover interview, she talked about her upcoming album and her thoughts on it. “Completely differently from the way I had wanted to put it out before,” she said. Rihanna went on to express her excitement and anticipation for the release.
