Looks like Rihanna is releasing another Album and we know the Navy is thrilled. Rihanna just kicked off the first official promo for her upcoming eighth studio album….she unveiled at an L.A. art gallery last night…and the album title inside….Rihanna’s eighth studio album, which was dubbed R8 by her navy until they had an official working title, will be called Anti. Last night, the pop diva revealed the artwork at the MaMa Gallery to accompany the title, as well as a poem….

Written over an image of a child, which looks like a young Rihanna, blinded by a crown is the poem “If They Let Us.” It translates to the below:

I sometimes fear that I am misunderstood.
It is simply because what I want to say,
what I need to say, won’t be heard.
Heard in a way I so rightfully deserve.
What I choose to say is of so much substance
That people just won’t understand the depth of my message.
So my voice is not my weakness,
It is the opposite of what others are afraid of.
My voice is my suit and armor,
My shield, and all that I am.
I will comfortably breath in it, until I find the moment to be silent.
I live loudly in my mind, so many hours of the day.
The world is pin drop sound compared to the boom
That thumps and bumps against the walls of my cranium.
I live it and love it and despise it and I am entrapped in it.
So being misunderstood, I am not offended by the gesture, but honored.
If they let us…image

Congrats Rihanna its been too long!
