background
On April 8, 2011 it was first announced that Rihanna was working on new recordings again in the studio. As it became known later, the recordings had already started in February 2011.

Two months later, the American radio presenter Ryan Seacrest announced that the new album should be released in autumn 2011. Rihanna herself confirmed a release this fall on July 21. On September 4th, she confirmed via Twitter that there would be no re-release, but a completely new album.
