It’s not R9, but it’s definitely a vibe. Rihanna is back on wax with “Friend Of Mine,” a vibrant new single crafted for the upcoming Smurfs Movie soundtrack. The track sees the global icon stepping into character as Smurfette, blending her signature vocals with a dancefloor-ready bounce tailor-made for the big screen.
While fans continue to thirst for her long-awaited ninth studio album, Rihanna made it clear in a recent Entertainment Tonight interview that pregnancy number three won’t slow her grind. “I’m still singing. I’m still working. R9 is still very much a thing,” she confirmed.
Until then, “Friend Of Mine” serves as a lighthearted appetizer—fusing playful lyrics, infectious energy, and Riri’s unmistakable star power. Whether she’s running a billion-dollar beauty empire or voicing animated icons, Rihanna proves once again that her presence is always felt, even when fans least expect it.
Don’t be surprised if this one ends up dominating kids’ playlists and the club scene.
