Rihanna Announces New Single Set to Appear on ‘Smurfs’ Soundtrack


The vocalist will sing ‘Friend of Mine,’ her first single since 2022.

“Friend of Mine” will mark Rihanna’s first musical release since 2022, when she dropped the Academy Award-nominated ‘Lift Me Up’ and ‘Born Again’ from the ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ soundtrack. While Rihanna has long delayed her next album, in a February interview with Harper’s Bazaar, she told the publication that she’s “cracked the code” on forming her ninth LP. The vocalist, who’s expecting her third child with A$AP Rocky, will star in ‘Smurfs’ alongside James Corden, Natasha Lyonne, Octavia Spencer, Nick Offerman and more.
