Original story (March 25): First, Britney Spears announced today that her next new single — her first new song since 2013’s Britney Jean album — will drop on May 5. The new song is with Iggy Azalea, and Britney says she’ll be shooting the music video in the coming weeks.
While one would assume this means that Britney is readying a new album, the artist recently revealed that she’s taking her time on her next body of work. Britney can currently be seen in Las Vegas performing her Piece of Me show at Planet Hollywood.
If you’re looking for some major new music sooner, Rihanna has you covered. This afternoon the singer posted this photo on Instagram with the text “#R8 #BBHMM #March26,” suggesting that her next single or album is about to be released.
Fans have already discovered the braille on the artwork reads “Bitch Better Have My Money,” which appears to be the single/album’s title. If so, it’s a reference to rapper AMG’s 1991 album of the same name:
It’s too early to know if this is Rihanna’s new album or just a single — but we’ll find out soon.
In January, Rihanna released “FourFive Seconds” with Kanye West and Paul McCartney. So far it is the only single off her new album.
