Rihanna 'uncomfortable and unhappy' with Jay Z's Roc Nation debut album

Rihanna was hoping to make a musical comeback with her debut album for Jay Z’s Roc Nation label. However, according to the singer’s father Ronald, she is not satisfied with how the tracks in the album turned out and has plans of changing some tunes before finally realising them to the public.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Ronald revealed his daughter’s apprehensions over her new album “Anti,” which was initially expected to be released before the year ends. However, the 27-year old is reportedly not satisfied with how some of the tracks were recorded so is thinking of postponing the release.

“Robyn is not happy with the new album. She’s not comfortable with it. When she went over the songs she found all these little things she wanted to change and was worried about it. It’s a long process and isn’t easy,” Ronald said.

Ronald added that Rihanna, born Robyn Rihanna Fenty, wanted to make her debut album with Roc Nation to top all her other previous albums. She was reportedly aiming for it to be her big musical comeback after three years since her last album. However, Ronald hinted it may be back to the drawing board once again since her daughter feels “Anti” still needs further tweaking.

“She has some things she likes but wants something more. To her it’s not ready. She doesn’t know which of the 26 songs to use. She’s still looking for fresh material and has the energy for it,” Ronald further told The Sun.

Ronald also teased what fans could expect from Rihanna’s album with Roc Nation, which she is reportedly calling as her “first album.” The “Diamonds” singer gave her father a private playback of the tracks when he visited her in Barbados in August.

Ronald revealed most of the songs only have Rihanna singing solo. There are also mellow tracks and some sounded like “Diamonds” with its slow and hip hop vibes.

Despite her apprehensions, Rihanna was in a celebratory mood when she threw a party to unveil “Anti” back in September. According to Just Jared, she hosted a NYFW Rihanna Roc Nation Block Party in New York to celebrate her collaboration with the label.
