'She has gone from pop to reggae to hip hop and everything in between,' the source continued. 'But because she wants it to sound fresh, and because of where Rihanna is at in her life, practically everything was scrapped.' They noted that some of the songs had been 'reworked' and repurposed for the final version of the album, 'but the majority was canned completely when she went back to the drawing board earlier this year.
' 'Rihanna has been back in the studio for a while now and things are finally coming together,' the insider added on a hopeful note. Rihanna's return to music will follow her partner A$AP Rocky's fourth album Don't Be Dumb, which will be released on August 30 of this year.
