In an interview with “Entertainment Tonight” at the premiere of MAC’s AIDS film It’s Not Over on Tuesday, Rihanna revealed that the project nicknamed “R8″ would arrive “very soon.”

“That’s my hope,” she said. “I’m really excited about the music that we’ve been working on, so I can’t wait for everybody to hear it.”

She also hinted to reporters that she may be plotting a surprise release à la Beyoncé.

Earlier this month, she played 10 tracks for label executives in New York including a potential single called “I’ve Been Searching for Something to Ignite Me When I’m Alone.” The Navy should prepare themselves now, because we all know that the Rihanna reign just won’t let up.
