Rihanna Previews New Song ‘Higher’

It may be Yeezy season, but Rihanna is planning a storm of her own. The singer gave her Navy a brief listen of a new song called “Higher,” another possible track off of her highly anticipated forthcoming album, #R8, on Thursday (March 5).

After leaving her fans to stalk her Instagram page since her last post on February 28, Rih showed fans the wait was ova’ bey uploading a video of the song label "R" "HIGHER" playing on a device. “Higher,” which follows behind her top-charting “FourFiveSeconds,” featuring Kanye West and Paul McCartney finds Rih flexing her improved and polished vocal skills.

“I just need your ass here with me/ this whiskey got me feeling pretty/ so pardon if I am impolite,” she sings over the piano ballad.

Rihanna and Kanye West, who will executively produce her project have been hard at work prepping for the release and promotional mania around #R8. We doubt she has any time to care about the news of Chris Brown’s 9-month-old daughter, Royalty. In fact Rih is going so hard, rumor has it she is trying to have her new album out by 2015. It was reported that she recently played 10-tracks for her label.

She followed that post up with a second teaser accompanied by the caption: 5 am drunk off da whiskey with these two rockstars @officialkukharrell @djanser !!! These guys always hold me down even at the craziest hours! We've made every album since #GoodGirlGoneBad together! The family!!! One Love #R8.
