At an October gallery event she hosted in Los Angeles, Rihanna teased what she said is her "favorite album cover yet" for ANTI as well as other artwork for the album. The art is laid over braille poems, which Rihanna said at the event symbolizes that "people who have sight are sometimes the people who are blindest." ANTI will be the artist's first album in three years, which her pal Jay-Z told Vanity Fair in October is because "she wants it to be perfect."
