Rihanna Not Ready to Release New Album Yet

Los Angeles, Dec 16 (IANS) Singer Rihanna led fans to believe that her "Anti" was very close to being released when she launched the ANTidiaRY.com website last month. But it's not coming anytime soon.

One of her collaborators has revealed that she isn't ready to release anything now because she hasn't even finished working on the long-awaited album.

In an interview on BBC Radio 2, singer Sia Furler said that the "Umbrella" hitmaker was still looking for songs to be included on what would be her eighth album, reports aceshowbiz.com.

"The other night she came over and listened to half of 25 songs I played her because she's still looking for songs for her new album," Furler said.

"She was there to listen to songs and see if there was anything that she was into. It was a business meeting for sure. She took four (songs) but I don't know if they'll end up (on the album)," the Australian singer-songwriter added.

Furler was responsible for Rihanna's 2012 hit "Diamonds".

She also offered the 27-year-old superstar the song "Alive", which eventually appears on Furler's own album "This Is Acting".
