INYIM Media Back To The Future: Rihanna Dishes On Her Most Preferred Tracks She's Ever Recorded Saying ‘Needed Me’ And ‘Diamonds’ Are Her Faves!

"Ever since she announced that she and rapper boyfriend A$AP Rocky are expecting their first child, Rihanna has been more public than she has been in a while. The star has attended several events and shown off her beautiful baby bump with what fans have called the sexiest maternity clothes ever. 

With her increased publicity came renewed hope that she would reveal more news on her long-awaited and highly anticipated ninth studio album. Still, the star has instead chosen to talk a bit more about some of her older tracks. 

The business mogul recently attended the launch of Fenty Beauty at Ultra in Los Angeles and looked stunning once again in one of her trendiest maternity looks so far. She wore a Coperni silver long-sleeve halter-neck top that featured chest cutouts and showed off her belly.

She paired the top with a long, low-rise sequined skirt, a diamond belly chain, and several diamond earrings and rings. Rihanna also styled her hair in a super high ponytail and lined her eyes in a frosty silver that completed the whole look.

Fans went crazy once pictures of her outfit hit the mainstream, and many are referring to it as the best in her long line of sexy and daring maternity outfits. Rihanna herself has referred to her maternity style as “rebellious.”

During the Fenty store launch, Rihanna spoke to Nogueira, a famous beauty and makeup TikToker. Nogueira said, “The people want to know when the album is, but I have a better question. What song are you most proud of that you’ve come out with?”

The two laughed when Nogueira said her favorite Rihanna song is “Unfaithful,” which is one of the fashion icons’ much older tracks. Rihanna then said, “Most proud of?! I do love ‘Needed Me’ and I also love a good ‘Diamonds.’”

She then wiggled her hands in front of the camera, showing off the assortment of diamond rings and bracelets she was wearing to emphasize why she mentioned “Diamonds” as one of her proudest tracks. 

It’s easy to see why she would be most proud of those two songs, as they are two of her most successful tracks. “Diamonds” is from her 2012 album Unapologetic, and it was Rihanna’s 12th number one song on the Billboard Hot 100. It also topped the charts in more than 20 countries worldwide. 

“Diamonds” is currently certified 7x platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and is one of her most iconic songs. “Needed Me” is from the 2016 album ANTI, and it debuted at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100. 

The song was her longest-charting track, with sixteen weeks in the top ten songs. “Needed Me” was also nominated for Best R&B Performance at the 59th Grammy Awards. With how well both songs performed, it’s no wonder she is so proud of them.

Despite the plenty of content Rihanna has given to her fans concerning her pregnancy and maternity style, many fans still want to know more details about her next album, such as the release date or at least the song titles. 

She did drop a very juicy hint during a recent interview with the Associated Press– that the album will explore new musical territory. The “Sex with me” singer said, “You’re not going to expect what you hear — just put that in your mind.”

“Whatever you know of Rihanna is not going to be what you hear. I’m really experimenting,” she continued, “Music is like fashion: you should be able to play. I should be able to wear whatever I want and I treat music the same way. So I’m having fun and it’s going to be completely different.”" - TheBlast.com
