Rihanna's French Label Surrenders Info: New Album To Drop This Year

It’s only been ten months since Rihanna last released an album, but if an errant tweet from Def Jam France is be believed – and if there’s actually a Def Jam France, I suppose anything is possible in this crazy world – there will be one coming in November, with a new single to debut next week.
In what was surely a mishap that occurred when a PR person attempted to schedule a Tweet while eating one of those long sticks of bread, the French division of her label Tweeted that the first single from the album will be available Monday, before scrubbing it from its timeline. But that’s what the Print Screen key is for! Now if I could just find out what Scroll Lock does. Seriously, anybody?
The French I learned in ninth grade is a little rusty, but from what I can glean from this image, the text announces that it will be a concept album about a beautiful woman who’s kept imprisoned in a bathtub Rapunzel-style, with her only friend being a rubber ducky named Lundi. For her part, Rihanna is keeping mum, but if the news is true, it would be her seventh album in as many years, which would maintain her incredible production pace.
