The Barbadian beauty announces her upcoming eighth studio album will be called 'Anti'.

• Oct 8, 2015

AceShowbiz - While not having set a date for her new album, Rihanna is teasing the project by revealing its cover art and title. Teaming up with Israeli artist Roy Nachum who designed the artwork, she debuted the album's cover at Los Angeles' Mama Gallery on Wednesday night, October 7.

The cover features an image of young Rihanna holding a balloon with a gold crown covering her eyes. A poem by Chloe Mitchell is written in Braille over the red-and-white canvas cover. It, of course, reflects the album's theme as Rihanna said, "Sometimes the ones who have sight are the blindest."
