Rihanna may be teasing her upcoming album ANTi with the ANTidiaRY.com website, but according to Sia she’s not close to releasing anything just yet.

Sia sat down with Jo Whiley on BBC Radio 2 this weekend, and shared that she’d recently met with Rihanna to discuss possible tracks for the project (via NME). Sia wrote Rihanna’s 2012 hit “Diamonds” and offered her the song “Alive,” before Sia ended up recording it and releasing it herself.
“The other night she came over and listened to half of 25 songs I played her because she’s still looking for songs for her new album,” Sia said. “She was there to listen to songs and see if there was anything that she was into. It was a business meeting for sure. She took four [songs] but I don’t know if they’ll end up [on the album].”
Rumors have abounded that Rihanna would release ANTi in December as a last minute surprise, but it looks like 2016 may be a more reasonable estimation.
