Rihanna stopped the music for a while, but she has now let us know when we can expect some more!

The singer has been hard at work on her Fenty beauty range, leaving her music fans asking, “Where Have You Been?”

The last time we got an album from the 30-year-old was in 2016 when she released Anti.

Granted, the Barbados native has not been quiet during all this time — having been featured on tracks with Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Future, in addition to starring on screen in Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets and Ocean’s 8 — but forgive us for hoping that another Rihanna album was coming our way soon.

One such fan asked just that when Riri posted a pic of her cosmetics on Instagram.

“But when is the new album dropping Robyn?” wrote one of the commenters, to which the Wild Thoughts singer replied, “2019.”

Until then, we’ll pon de replay.
