Rihanna has disclosed details about her new album, revealing she wants the record to be "timeless" and that her older material doesn’t feel like her.

When quizzed about R8 at a junket interview for her new movie Home, the 27-year-old revealed to MTV US: “I just wanted to focus on things that felt real, that felt soulful, that felt forever.

“I wanted songs that I could perform in 15 years. I wanted an album that I could perform in 15 years, not any songs that were burnt out,” added the 'Unapologetic' megastar.

"I find that when I get on stage now I don't want to perform a lot of my songs because they don't feel like me. So I want to make songs that are timeless."

The songstress, who has recently collaborated with Kanye West and Paul McCartney, has also been made the new face of Dior.

As well as her upcoming campagin due this spring, RiRi has a feature-length documentary movie on its way.

I think I've had enough
I might get a little drunk
I say what's on my mind
I might do a little time
'Cause all of my kindness
Is taken for weakness

Now I'm four, five seconds from wildin'
And we got three more days 'til Friday
I'm just tryna make it back home by Monday mornin'
I swear I wish somebody would tell me
Ooh, that's all I want

Woke up an optimist
Sun was shinin', I'm positive (We can run)
Then I heard you were talkin' trash (I'm on a mystery)
Hold me back, I'm bout' to spaz

Yeah, 'bout four, five seconds from wildin'
And we got three more days 'til Friday
I'm tryna make it back home by Monday mornin'
I swear I wish somebody would try me
Ooh, that's all I want

And I know that you're up tonight
Thinkin' how could I be so selfish
But you called 'bout a thousand times
Wondering where I've been

Now I know that you're up tonight
Thinkin' how could I be so reckless
But I just can't apologize
I hope you can understand, yeah

If I go to jail tonight
Promise you'll pay my bail
See they want to buy my pride
But that just ain't up for sale
See, all of my kindness, (mhm)
Is taken for weakness

Now I'm four, five seconds from wildin'
And we got three more days 'til Friday
I'm just tryna make it back home by Monday mornin'
I swear I wish somebody would tell me
Ooh, that's all I want

Four, five seconds from wildin'
And we got three more days 'til Friday
Just tryna make it back home by Monday mornin'
I swear I wish somebody would tell me
'Cause that's all I want
