The pop star provides a second song for the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack after making her long-awaited comeback to music last month.
The-Dream and Ludwig Göransson created the moving song, which James Fauntleroy wrote. She says on the stirring track, “Simply tell me what I need to do / I’d die and come back just to adore you.”
“Lift Me Up,” Rihanna’s first song in over six years is also included on the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever album and is a memorial to the late Chadwick Boseman. On the Billboard Hot 100, it debuted at No. 2.
Rihanna’s new album, though, might not be released for a while. She recently told the AP that the approaching Super Bowl halftime show doesn’t necessarily indicate that new songs would be released soon. One item is the Super Bowl. New music is something else. Before hinting at a “special project,” she asked, “Do you hear that, fans?”
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever – Music From and Inspired By also features cameos from Future, Tems, and Burna Boy in addition to Rihanna. Today sees the release of the follow-up to Marvel’s 2018 blockbuster.
