Rihanna to return with ‘Lift Me Up’ for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

Los Angeles, Oct 27: After six years without releasing a new solo song, megastar Rihanna is making her highly anticipated return to music on Friday, her representative has said.

Riri will drop a new single entitled ‘Lift Me Up’, which will be on the soundtrack for the Marvel sequel “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”.

It’s her first solo single since 2016’s ‘Love on the Brain’.

Rihanna is releasing the new song on her Westbury Road label in conjunction with Roc Nation, Def Jam Recordings and Hollywood Records, her official Instagram handle ‘badgirlriri’ has announced.

The ‘Diamonds’ and ‘Umbrella’ hitmaker posted a brief preview of the new track, which featured humming over strings.

The announcement comes close on the heels after the NFL announced Rihanna would be headlining the coveted Super Bowl halftime show in February, a long-awaited return to the stage for the pop phenomenon.

Rihanna’s fans have been clamoring for her ninth album, which she in 2019 said will be “reggae-infused”.

She welcomed her first child with rapper A$AP Rocky in May.
