Speculation about 'Anti's release date reached a new high late previous year when Rihanna launched a new website for the record in mid-November. "Work" is only officially available on Tidal on the moment, but you can listen to a radio rip of the song below. Whether it blows up and becomes yet another smash remains to be seen, but taken as it is, a song separate from its potential chart position, it is no "Umbrella", it is no "We Found Love", it is no "Diamonds".

Rolling Stone reports that the singer dropped the track, which features Drake, earlier this morning on TIDAL. But if they want to stream it, there's only one place for them to go: Tidal. Gotta give em that'.

Speaking to NME in September, Rihanna revealed that she has not finished work on her new album but promised she will deliver "something great" for fans eager to hear new music.

The wait is over! @champagnepapi from #ANTI out now'.

She also shared the artwork for the single. Titled "Work", it features Drake and a heavily reggae influenced sound. The Bajan beauty snapped herself listening to her forthcoming and hotly anticipated LP Anti.

With her raven coloured locks left loose and tousled down her shoulders, the star's décolletage was on display, suggesting she had either gone topless or chosen a strapless outfit for the selfie.

Rihanna has been teasing the release of Anti over several weeks with the help of video clips that show her unlocking different rooms.

"FYI Kanye is not EPing Anti!!!"

And we can tell she's taking the comeback seriously this time, because she's calling the track "Work".

In the past year Rihanna has released three test singles.

She released the anthemic "American Oxygen" as the title track for March Madness and issued album interlude "James Joint" as a tribute to 420. "She thinks it will win her a Grammy".

According to Billboard, the constant push-backs made Samsung anxious given that it is sponsoring the album's accompanying world tour, which is due to kick off in North America on 26 February.

Balls in her court!
