Everybody has been wondering where is Rihanna’s R8 album? While we still don’t have a release date, we may be getting closer as Rihanna held a private viewing of the album’s artwork tonight (October 7) in Los Angeles.
Twitter has exploded in images and videos tonight from the private event and details online state the guests are participating by smearing ash on walls while blindfolded. Also inside there are braille translations of the artwork and more. Check out some of the sights from inside the event in the tweets below.
