New music from Rihanna is still coming.

Rihanna confirmed that she’s working on new music during her cover story for Interview Magazine published on Tuesday. She had the conversation with the publication’s editor-in-chief, Mel Ottenberg, who used to be her stylist. This time around, she says she’s approaching the process of making music from a different angle.

“I have a lot of visual ideas,” she began. “It’s weird. My brain is working backward right now. I usually have the music first, and the music leads me into all of these visual opportunities, and now I’m having all of these visuals, and I don’t have the songs for them yet, but maybe that’s the key, this time. Maybe the visual ideas are leading me to the songs that I need to make.”

From there, she began trying to switch topics. “Random ideas, quirky ideas, things that have nothing to do with me at all. I mean, I can’t tell you. The opps is watching,” she joked. Ottenberg obliged and the two moved on to more innocent topics such as Rihanna’s favorite cities.

Elsewhere in the interview, Rihanna discussed her relationship with ASAP Rocky. She also admitted she’d be down for more kids: “I don’t know what God wants, but I would go for more than two. I would try for my girl. But of course, if it’s another boy, it’s another boy.” Other topics they addressed are her child’s first words and more. Be on the lookout for further updates on Rihanna on HotNewHipHop.
