The singer is allegedly getting ready to record new songs for the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever album after confirming she would perform at the Super Bowl Halftime Show. The pop icon has recorded two songs for the Marvel sequel, according to HITS Daily Double.
Black Panther: The Album’s original soundtrack, which Kendrick Lamar selected, included original songs from Lamar as well as SZA, The Weeknd, Future, Khalid, Swae Lee, and other artists. It received a platinum certification and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
According to insiders, an “inspired by” record will also be published alongside the sequel through Marvel/Disney and Rihanna’s label Westbury Road through Roc Nation/Def Jam.
Previous rumors that Rihanna will be cast in the follow-up to the superhero film from 2018 were later refuted. Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong’o, and Winston Duke star in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which premieres in theaters on November 11.
As Rihanna prepares for her much-anticipated return to music, the Black Panther news breaks. She will perform as the opening act at the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show in February, just as her ninth studio album, her first since 2016’s Anti, is about to be released.
In addition, the fourth episode of her Savage x Fenty fashion show will air on Amazon Prime Video on November 9.
