The topic is related to the soundtrack of the movie “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”. This marks the first release for the artist since 2016.

Caribbean singer Rihanna has not released an album since 2016. Her musical career has been focused on her multiple businesses, such as Fenty Beauty in the cosmetics segment and Savage X Fenty in lingerie. After six years without releasing new songs, the artist will release a new single called “Lift Me Up” this Friday, marking her return to music. The song is part of the soundtrack for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” Marvel’s upcoming film, and was written by Rihanna, Tems, Ludwig Göransson, and Ryan Coogler, the director of both “Black Panther” movies. Fans speculate that a new album may follow, but it is unclear if there will be a complete production from Rihanna herself. Nigerian singer Tems, who collaborated on the song, said that the inspiration behind the track was to represent a warm embrace for those who have lost someone in their lives. “Lift Me Up” is available on all streaming platforms.
