We’re excited to hear her new music! Here’s a video a fan took as she unveiled her album cover art.

“This is my favorite album cover I’ve ever done,” Rihanna said to her delirious fans before a black sheet covering her album art was taken down.

The cover shows the Barbadian singer as a child holding a black balloon. She has a gold crown covering her eyes. The cover is also inscribed with sculpted Braille poetry by Chloe Mitchel.
