Anti is the eighth studio album by Barbadian singer Rihanna. It was released on January 28, 2016, by Roc Nation and Westbury Road. Rihanna started recording in 2013 after departing from Def Jam Recordings, who had released all of her albums since her 2005 debut. As executive producer, Rihanna recorded Anti with producers including Jeff Bhasker, Boi-1da, DJ Mustard, Hit-Boy, Brian Kennedy, Timbaland and No I.D., at studios in Canada, the United States and France. SZA and Drake contribute guest vocals. Conceived in the midst of creative struggles and emotional turmoil, Anti is characterized by atmospheric production incorporating lo-fi beats, distorted vocals and downtempo arrangements. The first half consists of bass-heavy tracks, while the second is characterized by textured minimalism. Compared to the radio-friendly dance songs which had characterized Rihanna's prior discography, Anti is more muted and soulful. Primarily a pop, dancehall, psychedelic soul and R&B album, Anti also incorporates an array of eclectic influences spanning from hip hop, soul, industrial, psychedelic, doo-wop, country, synth-rock and trap.
