Explained in plain English
Why do artists take long breaks?
Rihanna hasn't released an album since 2016, which is quite a long time in the music industry. Artists often take breaks for various reasons, including focusing on other ventures like business or acting, starting families, or simply needing time away from the spotlight to recharge creatively. These pauses can build anticipation for new music.
